Your 15 Minutes of Fame

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_minutes_of_fame

I've been quoted in newspapers, but that's about it. I've never been on TV or in a movie.

Have you ever had your 15 minutes of fame? How did it happen? Do you crave it and try to get another "15 minutes"?

 

Ive been on TV. I didn't think it was fame lol

 

I've been on TV and several newspapers for basketball when I was in high school.

 

Same here
And when the mountain I lived on lit in flames.
Thats about it...

 

Nothing exciting for me.

I won a little miss model pageant when I was 2

 

The police have my photo on their wall?
Does that count?

 

I've had a photo in the local newspaper when I was a kid.. had to do with my school collecting money for charity. I was probably 5-6 years old back then.

 

Yes, you are getting recoginzed and your name is in their system

 

I was on a reality show about 4 years ago on the discovery channel. It was a tame show where friends and family of someone help them find a relationship. I was a friend. It taught me that "reality" shows are anything but. I remember doing several takes for the same thing.

 

I've had my opportunities. But decided against it.

It would end up like this ......

I took part in a weekly radio program in our local radio station when I was 13.and my pictures came on several magazine and advertising stuff

 

I was on TV, newspapers and in several brochures but that’s not fame.

 

I was on the Jumbotron at a hockey game during the Delta Dental Kiss Kam, does that count?

 

For 15 minutes?

Oh, I suppose it counts.

 

TV, Radio, Newspaper, Radio... been in all for so much time...

as a worker, does it count?

 

Haven't had my 15 minutes yet, I just hope if/when it happens its something positive, a lot of people's 15 minutes seem to happen under bad circumstances, or something humiliating happening to them.

 

Good point!

So, the lesson is; don't go on a killing spree or do anything particularly stupid for your 15 minutes.

 

I won several spelling bees and went to regionals if that counts. The wall street journal also cited my blog as a source for one of their articles.
