Spiderman leaves Max feeling forgetful
You may have seen that Alain “Spiderman” Roberts scaled a building in Sydney this morning before being arrested. His PR man is the always ebullient Max Markson. However, the excitement does seem to have played tricks with Markson’s short term memory.
After all, after the climber was arrested, Markson told The Australian:
“I came down here and he just leapt out of my car and started climbing the building – I was shocked.”
Curiously, Markson – an avid Twitter user – yesterday tweeted:
“Alain Robert aka spiderman is in town. He’s the one who climbs very tall buildings + then gets arrested!He climbs tomorrow Tuesday @10.30am”
(hat-tip: Another Advertising Wanker)
Tim, you’re not saying that Max has been a little bit liberal with the truth are you?
There MAY be a plausible explanation. Maybe Max was shocked that he leapt out of the car and started climbing. Could that be because there may have been a few planned shots of Max and Alain BEFORE the climb and the known subsequent arrest, and Max missed out on a photo op?. But lets give Max the benefit of the doubt, maybe he knows just how dangerous leaping out of a car really is – it sure makes climbing buildings unassisted look like child’s play.

I told Max his pants were on fire. He said “I was shocked”. Sticking to his story like a good agent!

Anything that’s “suss” in the news seems to have Max Markson’s scent about it…especially with controversial “celebs”…
I don’t mind the Spiderman guy and reckon he’s a freak for climbing freestyle.
