TMZZZ Exclusive: Did Beatles Endorse Robert Bacal's Book Decades Before It Existed?
In an extraordinary picture released by TMZZZ, The Beatles are shown with their gold records, and displaying the cover picture of If It Wasn't For The Customers I'd Really Like This Job: Stop Angry, Hostile Customers COLD While Remaining Professional, Stress Free, Efficient and Cool As A Cucumber By Robert Bacal
TMZZZ reports that the picture was take in the sixties, just after the Fab Four received their first gold records. (see below for the picture and the original cover photo).
The Mystery?
The book displayed by John, Paul, George and Ringo was published in 2011, and is intended to assist those in customer service to deal with angry, abusive and threatening customers. Unfortunately, TMZZZ, while still investigating, has no answers to the obvious questions about this picture:
- How could the Beatles be holding up pictures of the book, some decades before it came into existence?
- Why would they be endorsing the book in the first place? Perhaps Robert is related to a Beatle? Or that the Beatles were in customer service as a sideline? How did this come to pass?
When approached by TMZZZ, a representative for one of the Beatles, who wishes to remain anonymous because he is not authorized to speak on this issue, said: "I can't tell you anything because it's as much a mystery to me as to you. So the speculation that the Beatles were actually time travellers (hint, hint), is just that. Speculation."
Investigations continue in this ongoing story.
Breaking News Update: TMZZZ has commissioned Agent Mulder from the X-Files to investigate this strange mystery about Robert Bacal's book. Read about it here.
