Like others here, at a book signing I'd love it, but otherwiseI just want to say thanks. I did notice he did it with a smile in his face, unlike other celebrities that get uppity. The man is a class act.

Did everyone forget about possum burritos?
I would just yell as loud as I could, "PLAY FREE BIRD!"
Can't say as I'd want that done to me, so I wouldn't do it to him (or anyone).
That said, there's a way of doing these things, and from what I saw on the vid the prevailing attitude seemed to be one of "Sign, b*tch!" which kind of made me think that they weren't what you might call 'real' fans. The one woman near the beginning, Little Miss 'Don't knock it and make it squiggly'...didn't seem to have much sincerity in her voice really. I bet that thing went straight up on eBay.
I have to say my patience would be virtually nil, and I'd dare anyone to say something like 'Don't make it crooked!' to me. They'd soon be an offended ex-fan, I reckon.
I wonder if he ever signed Phuk Ewe.....I wonder if he has ever signed Mickey Mouse in a book?
Write it yourself!One thing occurred to me: has King ever written a story about signing autographs? I would love to see a short story based on this encounter. Not sure what it would be, but there are so many angles, I would guess. Author gets irritated at autograph seekers, attacks the crowd. Crowd gets irritated at author, attacks author. Weird person gets author's autograph and controls what the author writes, author needs to destroy autograph. Autograph seekers put books up on eBay, author finds out about it, tracks down every person and gets revenge. Author kidnaps one of the autograph seekers, plucks one from the crowd and takes the person away in the limo, somehow convincing the driver and entourage to go along with it. A book signing sees all the people in line suddenly turn into zombies.
Would love to see King have fun with that encounter in print, but I don't think we'll see it. Fun to muse about, though.
I was going to say the same thing. Could be a comedy, with the bad fake-fan having to write "I will not pester famous people for their autograph" on a blackboard, perpetually, in Hell. That's probably how Rod would have handled it, like the episode where the bad guy was told, "But...this IS the other place."Write it yourself!
I'm trying to understand your meaning:That video is just sickocentral.
But I'm sure that Marsha's getting some decent bank.
Goody.

I don't think this is it, but my question above was to try and clarify.... are you accusing Marsha of exploiting Stephen for money...?
