I think I'll be next and start a "Burn the Koran" day in my front yard.

[trumad]

You know---I've always wanted my 15 minutes of fame. AND now I think I've found a way.

I watched as Balloon boy sailed across the sky---I flipped through all the TV channels and sat in amazement as each channel had the picture of a Jiffy Pop bag soaring through the air until it slowly landed in a Colorado Corn Field.

I was equally amazed at how every network covered the event---an event that turned out to be an excellent prank/con.

Years ago I watched a local news cast about a girl who had just won a multi-million dollar lottery. The news trucks were out front and the big haired newswoman was yacking it up about the winner, interviewing the winner, and of course showing the winning ticket.

Problem was--- the supposed winner and her friends devised a plan to manipulate the ticket to look like a winner, and then calling the news stations to report that she had won. Worked like a charm.

And now we have the Koran Burner.

I know that if I steal the idea from Pastor Terry it won't be original---but by the looks of things, I'll be number two in line--- plus---I'm far better looking than Pastor Terry and I don't use words like "tragical".


Oh and the clincher---I live in Florida.

I'm going to be famous----I'm going to be famous....

1. Awesome.

Why doesn't everyone just burn a book that day. A book you've been using to set the plant on, or was in the bottom of an auction box and is complete crap you don't care about. Make a huge sign and have some fun. Advertise in the front yard and burn in the fire-pit front or back yard, make it a neighbourhood barbecue thing after. Sounds like fun to me!

2. You may have to come up with something original

You have to admit all the instances you mention were original and media grabbing.

3. I agree

I'm just taggin on to the Koran thing because I know that there will be other nutcases out there who will do it and our dumbass MSM will follow it.

[lunatica]

4. I know you were joking.

I tried to wrack my brain to come up with something but I got nothing. I guess you never know what's going to attract the media. That or I just don't want fame that much. Even the 15 minute kind.

8. Why stop there!

9. You can use my idea to get your 15 minutes of fame. Make an annoucement that you

intend to dump Bibles into each of the port-a-pottys set up at a big event, like a football game. Have a press conference and show off your pile of Bibles. You probably won't have to actually take them to the port-a-pottys, but you'll have a driveway full of TV vans.
