I mean, again, I say this as a big fan of DFW, it's ironic that he brought up his cruise essay because it was fake in exactly the same way Mike Daisey's monologue was fake and he openly admitted it but nobody cared in that instance because cruise companies are cringe anyway
... A lot of people? That's kind of why it was a big deal when it blew up in his face, because the loss of credibility really hurt his cause It's also why people like Steve Wozniak stuck by him, because "He's the reason everyone even knows the word Foxconn"
