So Martha Stewart gets sentenced to five months in prison, and then, at the press conference afterwards:
 
In the plucky style for which the self-made millionaire is known, Ms. Stewart urged people to buy her magazine, and to encourage advertisers to keep supporting her products. In fact, after her sentence was announced, the price of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, her company, soared, up 29 percent to to $11.20 a share just before noon, yielding Ms. Stewart a paper profit of $355,000 on her stake in the company, according to records filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The stock value had plunged after her conviction.
 
Buy my magazine!  And then her stock goes up and she makes a half-mil.
 
Some days, everywhere I look, I see decay.
