Misdirection

[anonymous]

When asked "What is the trick of getting out of that straitjacket with everyone watching?" Harry Houdini supposedly replied "The trick is not getting out of the straitjacket. The trick is to get you to look elsewhere while I'm getting out of the straitjacket." Illusionists call it misdirection.

Think of that when Pops tells you what a wonderful thing buying Rodin will be for all of us. It's misdirection trying to distract the investors from what a mess this company has become. Based on today's market reaction it seems that the Papa Pops bag of tricks is not working this time.

"Rodin"...are you sure we didn't buy "Rodan"? You remember...that monster from the 1960s Japanese horror flick that did battle with Godzilla. I'm thinking the Rodin acquisition will leave Waltham in ruins the way Rodan did to Tokyo!

Nope. It is RODIN not RODAN. Rodin is the cousin of St. Patrick. Unlike St. Patrick, Rodin could play three flutes at once but only after drinking 12 pints of lager and getting into at least 4 knock down drag out fights at at least 2 different Irish pubs. Rodin will probably to our Ireland HQ's what RODAN did to Tokyo.
