MTV cameramen at NJ Regional

[Elgin Clock]

Well if you all recall during Kickoff, we were having Science and Technology (NASA Mars Lander) competing for media attention with the MTV Generation News (Britney's Wedding).


Maybe FIRST has finally realized that the target audience for the participants involved in FIRST are the MTV viewers of the nation and the world, and thus invited them for some PR work!!

according to the event coordinator's assistant (thats right, volunteers got all the connections) they were doing it on one student/mascot so my guess was that they were filming the knights of fury's mascot

I think the real question here is when did MTV (if you could call it Music television anymore) become so interested in doing documentaries!

I really dont watch MTV, partly for what Woodie said about Jessica Simpson, and the fact that it is so hard to actually find music/videos on that channel! Besides, when would I have much time during these last weeks to watch TV.....

*drone voice* drill more holes.......................check rules..........................go to Chief Delphi.........

The only show I can think of that can even be close to being a documentary is True Life. Though the shows topics can range from anything. Though some of the topics are pretty much lessons in what not to do with your life. In all honesty it is a fairly decent show though Im generally not the type to watch those shows.

altough i hate mtv, i would like if there was something like a true life about FIRST. This is becuase first seems to only effect the people directly related to it, and to those people it has made a great impact. It would be great for MTV to show that first really is "cool" and fun and not just for nerds like most people think

For those of us who weren't there...

What DID Woody say about Jessica Simpson? There are all of these references to it, but I haven't found the quote anywhere yet...

[teno121]

He was talking about what we are interested in and what's happening in the news, then he said that a big headline last week or month or whenever was that a riot was started by people who were mad because they couldn't get Jessica Simpson autographs.

[Forsaken85]

If MTV was doing something, I hope that they would tell F.I.R.S.T and then tell all of us. I hope that they bring it main stream, and do one of those documentries, about FIRST having this big impact. If i could ask, would someone email MTV and ask if they sent someone there. Then we could know for sure and if they did not send someone. Then email them and talk about FIRST and the impact it is having on the world. Sound good.

Something along the lines of "Jessica Simpson is getting all the attention for being ignorant and stupid"
