Longread #54 -- Shark in the Kiddie Pool -- 4/18/12

This is an intriguing story from Vanity Fair about "the most hated 21-year-old" in Hollywood -- a child talent agent who has stirred up a number of complaints about questionable promotional practices. It seems that there's a lot of exploitation going on in Hollywood (shocking!), and this particular agent not only took things a bit too far but also drew attention to himself unnecessarily. This is a good read for anyone interested in the entertainment business and knowing more about some of its darker elements.
