THE James Frey?

After an initial hehehe, I felt kind of bad for Frey, actually. I never saw the whole Oprah hoopla but definitely heard about it second hand. Here's the thing--Frey submitted A MILLION LITTLE PIECES as a novel--it was the publishing company that asked him to re-describe it as a memoir, because it would be more compelling (i.e. sell better). No, that doesn't let him off the hook for dishonesty, but who is ultimately Responsible for inauthenticity in the published word?
Still, despite my sympathy, I was a bit dismayed to find this random link to six (bad) photos of his dogs. Just because you're a celebrity-turned-faux-celebrity, does this merit boring (not even weirdly entertaining) snapshots of your pets on some virtual literary magazine?
