That's sorta silly. He throws out all kinds of his money to people to promote his book which he hopes those people will buy.... with the money he gave them?

And chance are many won't even buy his book and just gain some money.... exactly how the hell does he expect that to work?

*Reads*

"Rather than spend a lot of money for unsuccessful marketing, better give the money to the people," Sidik said."

^ I guess so....

"Millions of Indonesians live on less than 2 dollars a day and the event comes at a time when the poor are still smarting from rising food and fuel prices."

In other words.... nobody's gonna buy your book, but thanks for the money ya chump.

"In 2005 Tung rode a horse along Jakarta's main streets, dressed as one of the country's most celebrated war heroes, to launch his first book."

^ Hmmmm........ for his next book, he should dress like this guy:


Cuz at first I thought he was crazy, buy clearly I can see he's nutz :p
