If you'll recall, Screech
wrote a book awhile back about the cast of "Saved By the Bell" and how they all used to snort coke off of each other's privates and etcetera.* Well, after hitting some bumps in the road (i.e., getting dropped from a major publisher) he found some fly-by-night Canadian publisher to release it and
Us Magazine got an exclusive peek at the cover!
When it was first announced in July 2008 that Diamond would pen the memoir, publisher Gotham Books promised "sexual escapades among cast members, drug use, and hardcore partying" that occurred throughout the nearly thirteen years he was a part of the hit sitcom franchise.
But, according to The New York Observer, Gotham dropped the 32-year-old star shortly after he turned in his manuscript three months ago. Behind the Bell has since been picked up by a small Montreal-based operation called Transit Publishing. (Source)
Hey Shit For Brains, I may not be some big city trademarks lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that even in
Canada you can't actually use a copyrighted image from a syndicated television show on the cover of your effing
book. Not to mention a book which purportedly is meant to smear the show in question. Unless you plan on "releasing" it out of the back of a box truck on a street corner in Chinatown, anyway. Oh wait, but who are we talking about here? I predict it will gross upwards $45 in its first week.
* Not actually true.
I take offense to the "even in Canada" comment. On behalf of all Canadians, the majority of us are not complete idiots, and also would not be caught dead reading Screech's book, let alone publishing it.
That is all.
Thanks.
