Friday Villainy - December 17, 2004
Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has learned some disturbing news. This news is positively villainous. It is fully deserving of becoming this week's Friday Villainy update.
You Maximum Leader reads that Lisa Marie Presley is selling 85% of Elvis Presley Enterprises to Robert F.X. Sillerman. At least so says Billboard Magazine and the Reuters News Wire.
For $100 million, Robert Sillerman gets pretty much all of Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE). What he doesn't get is Graceland itself, the contents of Graceland, and "Elvis' personal effects." Lisa Marie retains 15% of EPE as well as her father's home and personal effects.
How do you tell someone that this could be a very bad idea? Lisa, Lisa, Lisa. Your Maximum Leader would love to have you over to the Villainschloss to discuss this. How does one put this gently? You're no Elvis Presley. You've got some talent. You're sorta cute. And your Maximum Leader is willing to forgive you the whole Michael Jackson & Nicolas Cage thingies. (And while your Maximum Leader is fessing up about things... Your Maximum Leader would have dated you hard, even married you; if it meant he could get to go upstairs in Graceland. There... Your Maximum Leader has been more honest with you than was Nick Cage.)
But really Lisa... Do you think it is a good idea to sell off your dad's likeness, imgae, movie rights, and music portfolio? Your Maximum Leader doesn't think so.
So, loyal minions might we wondering to themselves, "What makes this so villainous?" Let your Maximum Leader explain. Robert Sillerman now owns the exclusive rights to GREATEST AMERICAN ICON EVER!!! How much more villainous can you get?
Really now. Think about this. Robert Sillerman "owns" THE KING. Possibly the most recognizable icon in all of Americana. And he can market "E" any way he wants.
Absolutely. Friggin. Brilliant.
Your Maximum Leader hears that the first major move will be an Elvis themed casino on the strip in Vegas. If that materializes your Maximum Leader will never set foot in Ceasar's again...
Carry on.
