OK, so in the last week, there have been a slew of comments on our “Show of Lies” post way back in January. There are only two commenters, but they are certainly sticking the boot in.
Show of Peace is an initiative by the “social entrepreneur” Rick Garson. We were hugely skeptical when it was first announced and even more skeptical when Garson himself confirmed Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas for the event at a press conference. LG and the BEP’s subsequently confirmed there were no such confirmations.
The postponed date (October 10) is fast approaching and there have been no updates to the official site. However, the commenters have drawn attention to a new producer, Jacqueline Beaudette. Said commenter is less than complimentary about Jacqueline, but sure enough, her Facebook profile features a picture of the Show of Peace logo.
We suspect this one will run and run.
