DaVinci's Diet!
May. 21st, 2006 11:25 amAmusing bit from standing in line at the grocery store:
On the cover of - Woman's World? Womans Day... something. Anyhow, "The DaVinci Code Diet! Lose a pound a day! Secret code within the best selling book!"
Um, yeah. Do you suppose the author would nod sagely and wink if someone suggested he'd embedded these Weight Loss Secrets of the Ancients in his potboiler?
ACat suggests it is "You can eat all you want... but only Communion Wafers! Low cal, high fiber, with wine or grape juice as appropriate to your denomination."
What I'm speculating is, since I would willingly bet there's not a word of text in there about weight loss secrets, even in plausible code, does this rewriting of canon into what the reader wants to see count as fanfic of a sort?
