can I get my cheese in cornflower blue?

 

I just had to buy it!

By the way: I bought Palahniuk's Haunted but didn't read it yet. One of the more powerful arguments for this decision - the buying, not the not-reading, was the rumor that about 5 dozen people fainted at readings of the included short-story Guts. As Wikipedia puts it:

While on his 2003 tour to promote his novel Diary, Palahniuk read "Guts" to his audiences. It was reported that over 35 people fainted while listening to the readings. On his tour to promote Stranger Than Fiction: True Stories in the summer of 2004, he read the story to audiences again, bringing the total amount of fainters up to 53, and later up to 60, while on tour to promote the softcover edition of Diary. The last fainting occurred on May 28, 2007, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, where five people fainted, one of which occurred when a man was trying to leave the auditorium, which resulting in him falling and hitting his head on the door.

Does anyone believe this? I mean, come on, 60 people? Is there video footage of it on the internet? Are there interviews w/ the people who actually fainted available? Plain PR? Anybody know more about this, please comment here.
