Tucker Max wrote a book called “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell”, which has been a best-seller since 2006. Max is a graduate of Duke University.
Max’s new book called ” Assholes Finish First” was set to come out in Fall of 2008. But Max delayed it to coincide with his movie for “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” which comes out in 2009.
In 2003, Max was ordered by the court to remove a story from his site which was a “tell all” account of his relationship with Katy Johnson, a former Miss Vermont. It was very unflattering to Katy Johnson, but dismissed due to his first amendment rights.
Now Tucker Max is making an enemy of Gawker.com. Max wants to bet $10,000 that his movie for his book will do better than Gawker has estimated.
Here is what Tucker Max had to say about Gawker:
As you may be aware, the media blog Gawker has, for the last three weeks, been posting about me and this movie. Gawker’s schtick is to be hateful and snarky about everything other than themselves, so of course they are comically negative and attacking in their posts about me. For example:
They seem to think it’s controversial that I’m an asshole, they don’t like that I have hot girls in my movie, they apparently hate the FBI, they accuse me of plagiarizing myself, they think my stories are fake and in the SAME post say everyone has similar stories, they believe clearly made up emails (even when my REAL assistant writes to say it’s fake), and they even criticize me for being professional to actresses and loving my dog. And of course, they think my movie sucks, even though their “source” on set tells them that it’s good.
One of Gawker’s writers had this to say about Tucker Max:
I don’t hate you, Tucker. I think you’re a sad piece of nothing that floated along and got caught on some corner of the net when it was still impressed by college boy antics beyond giving them two minutes of Youtube time. I say your stories are fake at THE SAME TIME (wow, Tuck, caps are an effective rhetorical device!) as I say every frat boy tells those stories, because every frat boy’s stories are mostly bullshit. Most frat boys only try to sell their crap to their friends, and not for money. Even Opie and Anthony called bullshit on you. How often do they call bullshit on anyone? You know most of your stories aren’t true, and that’s part of what makes you behave like a caged-in fucking maniac.
The other reason I would hate you if you were worth the passion: You soooo clearly fucking hate and fear women, brah! My God, can you write one word about them where you’re not demeaning—literally—the shit out of them? It’s not okay with most people that a guy who sells 400,000 copies of a bad book he mostly invented should fucking hate women, should keep telling story after story about how he tricked some girl with not enough self-esteem into a place of lesser self-esteem. Why don’t you at least get creative about it?
Because you cannot. You haven’t got the mind. You are, frankly, quite stupid and dark and a misery to contemplate. If you’ve had all the sex you claim to have had—though I don’t think all the shitting and vomiting you describe actually describes any kind of actual sex—why not be philosophical about it? Why not be Henry Miller?
Why not? Because you, Tucker Max, are a thug, an unimaginative punk, and, at heart, a tiny little vapor.
As for your bet. Nick will deal with that.
This Tucker Max does seem like a complete jerk, what do you guys think?
