everyone is mentioning actors, music stars, etc, but what about politicians?

yeah yeah, we all know they lie and no one likes them, but everyone listens to them. even if they don't want to, they still do.

my idea, maybe get whatever FIRST team wins something big (like chairman's award) they would meet with some big wig politician(s) (doesn't have to be president, but maybe like, state governer, a bunch of senators, representatives, etc). if that happens enough, people will start to see FIRST.

another idea is try and get FIRST mentioned on channels like MTV (yes, i do know that's been tried). imagine a FIRST team as guests on TRL? obviously it'd have to be an exceptional robot, but i'm confident if FIRST, MTV, and some team that made an amazing machine were to cooperate, it'd definitely doable.

lastly, and this is a bit of a stretch, but maybe we can get FIRST mentioned in some movies? someone mentioned several characters from James Bond. maybe figure out someway to incorporate FIRST into the next bond movie?

remember, we don't just need one giant celebrity. we also need lots of smaller ones, because they're just as important in spreading the word.
