11. I watch very little sports programming...
but that doesn't mean I think there is anything wrong with sports. What's up with people assuming facts not in evidence?

26. My favorite sporting event ...
The red carpet at the Oscars.

It IS the gay mens Super Bowl.

17. On one hand they are used in schools to instill irrational attitudes of submission to authority...
By encouraging the gladiator mentality/violence solves problems/unchecked competition is healthy/jingoism/chauvinism - yes, even among females. On the other hand, I apparently was born without the gene that enables one to become inordinately enthusiastic over watching people toss and chase balls around while knocking on one another.

21. LOL naw, ya get more outta the whole 'alienation' experience by going it alone
And of course my wife has always enjoyed this as well. Whenever we encounter anyone unfamiliar with us, and invariably at some point they bring up "The Game," we get a sort of perverse thrill in simply stating that we have no interest in sports at all ... there's practically an audible thud as the conversation crashes.

6. How is it going to be shown?
Remember the Corpmedia has (?) second delays for just this sort of thing. It'd probably help to know where the cameras are ahead of time.

8. I don't know; I don't usually watch it, though imagine it's on a network
channel. And you can bet they will go out of their way to not show this banner.

13. I'm thinking the cameras stay in one area throughout the parade . . .
. . . your best bet is to be in the crowd when they do the "Today Show" style shot - anchors with a crowd behind them with signs. Find wherever that is going on and get it on!



Make us proud, sister!

19. Cool! Will look... I'm watching HGTV ... no commercials
But I'm in and out of the TV room. I'm up cleaning and playing on DU in my office away from the TV.

29. One thing that was very cool
The LA Mayor Vilargarosa came by, he pointed at the protesters and flashed them the peace sign!
