I'm outta the loop. Has Alex been making lovey eyes at Autism Speaks??
Joint-sponsorship deal with Autism Speaks for his Autism Talk TV project. But knowing how business works, this is a 'foot-in-the-door' moment.
Surely you mean 'foot in the mouth' project.
I guess that depends on perspective.
But seriously, the fact Alex is accepting money from Autism Speaks for a single project, opens the path for a eventual buy-out of WP. Autism Speaks have probably being eyeing such an opportunity for a while. Imagine combining WP's popularity with Aspies with Autism Speaks' current popularity and ideology. Alex will sell out WP if Autism Speaks makes a good offer to further his own interests, it's inevitable.
