so, all I’m doing is getting out of my car so I can go inside my house, and here comes the news wagon…of course they snag me and want to hear what I have to say about west nile and mosquitos. i say, “no, no, no this is too embarrassing”. but, they insist (and the guy’s name was Lance, so he broke me down and I agreed
thank God I have on a sun hat and sunglasses so I’m a little incognito…very embarrassing!!! and funny! lol. i’m sure i sounded like an idiot…hahaha!
You think that’s embarrassing - well listen to this!
Many years ago a friend was getting married but instead of having a stag a bunch of us decided to take him out to a strip joint and get him wasted, get him on stage with the gals, etc. We were all the types that normally don’t hang out in strip clubs but this was a special occassion. In fact a couple of the guys had never even been in a strip bar before.
As we were leaving the local TV news truck was out front complete with reporter and camera man wanting to do interviews of patrons since they were doing a TV news blurb on strip clubs.
A bit embarrassing to see yourself on the local news walking out of a strip club.

It could have been much worse … the could have asked you “So, at what point did you suspect that your next door neighbor had chopped up his first wife?”
Did you start describing the sound of the tornado? Or you could start screaming "Oh no!..they found us…they found us…RUUUUUUNNNN CLETUSSSS ! SAVE YOURSELF!
That’s not as bad as what happened to me when I was getting out of my car and a camera news team came up to me and asked me what I thought of the drive by shooting that happened earlier in the day. I was not even around for it and the newsman kept drilling me to recount the events. Of course, they broadcast the clip of me on BCTV prime time 6 o’clock news which shows me pissed at the reporter saying “Look buddy, I was not even around for it!” It made me look like I was the drive by shooter because I looked so pissed off. I was pissed because he was asking me questions like “how do I feel about this community going downhill?” which is completely bullshit. I told him it was not a reflection of the neighbourhood and a drive by shooting can happen in any community within a mteropolitan area. 'nough said.
I’m always amazed at what they decide to use. I used to be a sort of public official and got a fair amount of air-time. They would interview me for about 10 minutes then end up using about 15 seconds of some obscure detail while ignoring the most important issue.
