wingsuits on fox news

Recommended Posts

Yeah, is there actually a requirement for American newscasters to have ADD?



Best I can guess is it's the MTV effect. Casters figure the average viewer has the attention span of a hamster so they cater to it by shoving a bunch of OMG-FLASH-VIDEO-QUESTION-FLASH-FLASH at the viewer.

I mean, the interview was sort of like

"LOOK video!"
"So Justin, do you do this crazy insane sort of thing like X."
< Insert normal sane adult response from Justin >
"LOOK video!!"

This being FoxNews, it's ADD with the knob turned to 11.

I love the "it would work until I hit the ground, and that would probably hurt..." line.

Good job, Justin.

Justin,
I am so upset you didn't plug SLUM U --
Stay tuned. I'm sure SLUM U will have a spot on FOX NEWS after the PR boogie!!

I personally would have worn the Pepprill CASA BOOGIE T-shirt -- a bit more peronable....maybe next time eh? haha

Good stuff though sir....carry on...
see you all in PR!

Good job dealing with news casters who act like society has the attention span of a hummingbird on speed.

Flock-U's website must be getting inundated with hits... SkydivingMovies.com has been getting a bunch of hits from Flock-U's page. Never noticed any referrals from there before. Also getting a lot of hits from searches for various wingsuit-related phrases. Unfortunately most of them are "wingsuit mishap" or "wingsuit deaths" but some are for "wingsuit flocking university." :)

Its privately owned through Dreamhost which is serving as a proxy on it. Dreamhost will not release the details on the registrator. Good news is the domain lease is up in 2009 if they don't renew it.

Yeah.....we looked that up too. Was kind of hoping someone could somehow break into the Dreamhost servers and figure out who this squatter is. :P Anyone know someone who works there? Maybe I will try to find someone on LinkedIn and get friendly with them. ......or maybe we will just cross our fingers and hope it becomes available in Dec. '09

I'm sure this is Justin's first flock!
First flock

This is prob the same person since the the domain was registered about the same time as the '2005' date

The trail leads to Robert Battaile most likely. I'll PM you a possible number
but could be
Bonnie Zimmermann near Pope Valley, CA

Again, all this happened in early 06 so it's probably one of those two.
I'll take the tickets in PR:P

look them up on zabasearch.com and give them a call if the number/email i sent you is bad.
