Ketia0 0 #1 March 30, 2010 Here is a copy of an email I recieved from the public relations people in the company I work for. QuoteHi, Austin! Hey, would you have time this Thursday to do a quick interview on employee sports activities for the TCTV newscast? I know you're trying to start a skydiving group. I thought we could do a general story on sports activities, and include a brief "soundbite" (cut from an interview) from you specifically on the skydiving portion and why you're involved in the activities, and why others should participate, as well. It would be great if we could get with you on Thursday morning. I have been trying to convince the company to sponosor a skydiving team... They sponsor industry football, industry soccer, indusrty basketball.... So know I may get the support!!! Im stoked!!! I get to be on TV and all!!!! I will be singing autographs later... This only adds to the publicity the billboard got me. "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds.

shah269 0 #13 March 31, 2010 OK I've been on TV before......and here is my advice. 1) Go get a facial so you will look super sexy for the soccer moms who are watching TV at 3pm.....which odds are will be the time your spot is shown. You know between Ellen and Prancing With the Stars. 2) Ware clothing that is at least one size too small, it's all about proportion and you want to look down right huge! Don't forget to place cucumber wrapped in aluminum foil in the front an not the back. 3) Smile and say strange things such as "gravitas" and "existential" and "yes I am just this good looking" 4) If you get stuck just pretend you are Kerk and ask your self "What would Kerk do to this green chick!" Oh and don't think about how if you screw up this video will be downloaded and viewed by millions if not billions of people for all of time! Extra points shall be given if you ask the reporter out do brunch. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baksteen 84 #20 March 31, 2010 Quote Yea! I may not be the smartest guy alive.... But I get to be on TV talking about skydiving!!!!!! Scratch that from the bucket list! Speak concise sentences and take a moment to answer their questions. Otherwise you risk getting cut off in mid sentence by the almighty editors. Don't use sarcasm. If you say something like "Do you think we sit around and drink beer before the jump?" the bolded part is the only thing they'll broadcast. You know how the media like to twist stuff... Now. Let's have that popcorn."That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
