Hmmm, I'm in two minds to be honest. Yes, its probably the Observer to blame in having a big splash with "exclusive interview" on the cover. And yes Coupland's was honest, and not un-entertaining.

On the other hand, I can't help but think its a bit of a waste having Coupland travelling half way round the world to write an article he could just as easily have done without leaving his front room.

As for the head comment- you come outside and say that!

There are so many “journalists” passing off stage-managed PR twaddle as “interviews” these days; at least this is honest. I don’t think Coupland would presume to describe this as an interview, but maybe some dullard Observer section editor did, for reasons of tidiness and taxonomy.

And yes, the Blessed Moz does have an impressively massive bonce, doesn’t he?
