Not only does today’s news of a Pearlman-backed, American version of the esteemed BBC series Top of the Pops raise some eyebrows at Fark, but the story contains one of the most questionable headshots of a recording industry executive ever.
Of course, it could be worse. He could have shot it in front of a brick [...]
