Rudolph Valentino's Magic Python! Those Loony One-Star Online Reviews

David Bret committed the 'carnal sin' of writing 'Valentino: A Dream Of Desire'wherein he stated the actor had been gay. The book remained in the best-sellers for 15 years. Championed by film director, Ken Russell, he lectured on Valentino's sexuality as part of Chicago's Humanities Festival. Radio, television and film appearances followed-as did a blistering smear-campaign against him. All because of Rudy's willy! None of these attacks occurred in the press, but on the Internet within which there is little control. Many are illiterate and unintentionally hilarious; some are homophobic and downright nasty, penned by supporters of rival authors. Far from being detrimental to sales they have an opposite effect. Not one word has been changed, there has been no formatting, and if locations are there it is because these reviewers posted them there! And to balance the equation, included are few nice reviews from the 'unbiased populace'
