Joachim de Posada sells 2 million books

Posted by Gomez and Co. |



Gomez is naturally skeptical of "stories" sent to us by public relations wires. But we did find the following claims made on behalf of a Puerto Rican motivational speaker and writer named Joachim de Posada pretty intriguing.

To wit: The very impressive and well-educated De Posada sold more than 2 million copies of his book, Don't Eat the Marshmallow Yet. He's doing a major book tour in Korea, where his book has been on the bestseller lists for more than a year, and where he has outsold The Da Vinci Code and the latest Harry Potter installment. Gomez thinks we should begin to publish The Gomez Report in Korean.

Gomez, forever honest, must confess to having watched this video of de Posada in hopes of getting motivated. It didn't work. Gomez had a hard time understanding anything de Posada said. Then again, Gomez doesn't live in Korea. Gomez assumes de Posada is in South Korea, but one never knows. Perhaps Kim Jong-Il likes da marshmallow. Perhaps Kim Jong-Il thinks marshmallows are something that squirt out of underage girls gone wild. Nothing would surprise Gomez.

Gomez would be a great motivational speaker ourselves, if only Gomez would get off our collective arse and say something out loud other than, "Yes, we'd like fries with that" or "Who dat Joachim dude tink he be, mehn?"

Envy does not look good on Gomez, but it probably looks better than Gomez's old Jordache jeans. Peace out.
