If that person keeps to the same tack, they’ll soon find that they’ve been knocked overboard – all the way into a cornfield.

He gave himself away when he claimed to live in an Italian movie director. A _dead_ one.

Maybe it’s a _Being John Malkovich_ situation.

No love here for **WinterWind**?

There’s a perfectly fine and interesting thread in MPSIMS – “I wrote some music that made me cry” that was going along fine until this remarkable new poster showed up one hour after joining to make the following points:

1. This poster has “made” some of the most recent top hits for Lady Gaga.

2. Despite this pedigree, this poster is looking for a job and publicity and hopes to find it here.

3. This poster appears to be claiming that many of their songs were stolen, though I’m not sure I can accurately parse their English: “I don’t know how SO many of my song, seriously got out, I think cuz I was in danger!”. Which is definitely the sort of writing you’d expect from an accomplished lyricist.

4. This poster has also had hundreds of paintings go missing – presumably valuable art that they also have “made”. Maybe for Lady Gaga – who knows? So, a true _artiste_ and multi-talented polymath.

There’s a continuum/overlap between “troll” and “off medications”

That was such an odd post that I think the latter is the more likely.

Unfortunately, I suspect that poster may still be in danger, just not in the way they imagine.

I’m fairly sure that somebody plagiarizer will claim to have written Gaga’s _next_ hit too.
