Being on TV means nothing

Sign in to disble this ad
The only other TB member I can recall who has been on TV is MakiSupaStar. I was on TV recently, also in California, and I despise the backroom wranglings of High-Speed rail and Clipper Card Chareletons...'

But in fact, I was on TV myself this month, talking about Caltrain and daily commuting without owning a car. http://www.ktvu.com/news/26868162/detail.html

So imagine yourself on TV. Would any cause for which you stand and live have any voice in this day in age? Speak.

Cool, an "I've been on TV" nyah nyah bragging thread!
I've been on tv several times as well doing stuff for the History and Discovery channels. It was more as an extra in historical settings and whatnot so it wasn't a situation where I was being interviewed or asked an opinion.
In regards to your last question - I think that the Internet has overtaken TV as "the voice for which you stand and live". Look at what's going on in the Middle East. Apparently most of what you see over there was organized via social sites and such, with the local television in those areas just pumping out pro-gov't trash.

I'm quite sure there are plenty of TB'ers who have been playing on TV..

That's the only thing I can come up with that is somehow linked to what the OP might have been on about.

I've been broadcasted live from wednesday through friday night, during a web design/development competition à la Iron Chef.

I woke up on saturday and I still talked like anonymous people were listening to me.

That was a good news segment.

My 15 secs. of fame was on a local kid's television program in the early 60's. I was asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
My response, "A Lumberjack."

I was on TV when Close Encounters came out and a Boston news crew came to the ARP synthesizer factory to interview the dweeby engineer who played the note sequence in the movie. They showed me doing QC testing on the production line, talk about star power!

Before my pop-warner team went to the national championships, the local news interviewed the coaches while all of us players goofed off in the background, never got to see it though.

I was interviewed in college for a local news piece. Unfortunately, they showed up to do the interview at 6:30 am and I was still half asleep and rambling. I'm on the cutting room floor and was never aired, but my colleagues were.

Being on TV can still get you laid by sexy asian chicks. It's at least good for that much.
