Almost Famous!

I was just interviewed by some guy with a microphone and a cameraman with a big light.

Microphone Man: Excuse me, how do you feel about people not being allowed to wear anti-Olympic slogans during the games?

Me: I don’t like it.

MM: Could you elaborate?

Me: I don’t think it’s right that we’re not allowed to express what we think. Some of us voted for health care, not a circus.

As I turned away, I heard the cameraman say, “That was good.” I don’t know what station or what it was for, though.

Then I started to worry, because I am woefully apolitical, and am not exactly up on events. Possibly they were going to use me as an example of knee-jerk ignorance of opinion?

But the government telling me I’m ‘not allowed’ to wear something? I sort of want to get arrested for wearing a shirt that says something really offensively anti-Olympic.
