Dear all,
If you had two minutes (and just two minutes) of time on a national network during prime time...

What would you say?

We apologize for this break in your normally scheduled programs. This is a test of an annoyingly piercing loud noise. If you should hear this noise, you should *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*.

Not a damn thing. Because America would be too busy wondering who was going to win American Idol to care.

You stole my meme!

I'd also have behind me pictures of 2000, 2005, 2007 summer ice-pack on the north pole playing behind me.

I seriously believe, if given the opportunity like this, I would fail to say anything.

I would need weeks to prepare, and much more time on the set to say what needs to be said. And if given that time, I think I could make a difference.

But when just now asked, and not in two minutes -- and that's what is wrong with television news casts :(

I would donate my time to a spokesperson for a cause I believed in... such as www.kiva.org

I get my own 15 seconds of fame on the occasional panel and have given my opinion to anyone interested. I'd donate it to something more important than me.

Having no public speaking skills, I'd freeze up.

If I could overcome that, I'd probably explain what the furry fandom is ACTUALLY about...

"Hi there. Please, be kind and loving to one another. Thanks!"

Doesn't seem to me that much more than that needs to be said.

Don't forget to add, "No, seriously. Actually do it!"

Unless it was NPR, I'd decline the opportunity.

I think I'd quote the most relevant bits of "Thou Shalt Always Kill" by Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, especially the line "Thou shalt think for yourselves."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chqi8m4CEEY here is a little melodramatic and exaggerated, but the point about "Something is terribly wrong in this country, isn't it?" and about compliance I think, is worth bringing up. And might compact quite nicely into a 2 minute time slot.
