I Don’t Agree With Malcom Gladwell
Simon The Bunny Blog • 21
I just disagree, OK? And I don’t care if he doesn’t care.
He doesn’t have to care. I’m just a bunny. Why should my opinions matter to a bestselling author like Malcom Gladwell?
I was in the airport the other day, and I went into the store. I looked for some gum but I couldn’t find any, because all I could see were Malcom Gladwell books. Filling every shelf and every corner. White soft cover books. With Malcom Gladwell’s name on them.
I asked the cashier if they had gum.
She said “No, but you can chew on these Malcom Gladwell books during the take off, and it will have the same effect as gum on relieving the air pressure.”
I said OK and I bought a Malcom Gladwell book. It was called Outliers. I chewed on it as the plane gained altitude.
I’m not sayin’ Malcom Gladwell is an out and out liar, but my ears hurt, and his book Outliers didn’t help at all.
I know, though. He doesn’t care. That’s fine. Next time I’ll bring gum.
