(figured this was the relevant forum)

Considering how this forum actively discusses illegal activities, I am curious as to whether anyone here has ever made the news. I understand posting replies here may incriminate yourself, so for that purpose there is no need to include.. sensitive information.

Please no BS like "I released nerve gas into a university." Don't make stories up, otherwise it might be difficult to distinguish between fact or crap. That said, anything on a forum, particularly of this nature should be taken with a grain of salt.

I have been in the paper for plenty of things, mostly school events but my band has gotten into the paper a few times for "Causing people to become unsettled and causing disturbances" when we were asked to play for this small concert in my town. (We play everything but country, rap, hip-hop, pop, and techno)

Well I had a total of about two gallons of rotten chocolate cafetiria milk in my locker, and somthing I learned is after a few weeks preasure builds up in the container. Enough that the tops started leaking.

For reasons I dont understand I got no credit for for stinking up the second and third floor of my school. Even after putting it all in a garbage bag and throwing it in a dumpster.

It was funny some girl threw up and caused a small chain reaction, The school paper blamed it on the dump.

Been in some local newspapers for playing gigs and winning a battle of the bands when I was younger. Had a couple of magazine reviews aswell.

Did you guys know that Bombshock was on the news? I'm tryng to find the article now, but it was on TV a while ago.

that does sound very interesting

I almost forgot. With a sound recording school a couple of years ago my old band (This will remain nameless as not to get myself into trouble) were one of 48 that did a 48 hour constant recording session in a world record attempt.

I think to qualify as an actual guinness world record at least three copies had to be sold in a retail outlet. Since recording the track that we did, I haven't heard a thing about it, however, the day before we did it we were in a newspaper article about it, also being the only band of the lot to be published in photographs

hahaha I'm a limelight whore

So yeah, If i can make it unidentifiable, I'll upload a scan of the clipping

I was in a small article because I survived a rattlesnake bite. Then a few pictures for placing in a few state competitions. Also a 1/4 page because I was valedictorian at my high school.

If you aren't going to say what you did, why even post?

*I have never made the news.

I got a brief mention in the news for stealing a purse a while back.

Same thing happened to me. I put it in my locker to let it rot and then got suspended for the rest of the school year for something else.

When I was young I caught a Kiwi, yes belive it a Kiwi, I got my photo in the Waitomo Times (sorry can't remember the date)

I've also been in the Cambridge paper a few times for Taekwon-Do; getting into the national team, when our club first started up, and for the reigonals.

Not directly but I've been linked to some things that have been in the papers and on the news.

That's all I'm saying.

I got into one of our national newspapers, 2 full covered pages, with my band/group Lords of the Pimps (lol). We did anoyingly happy videoclips and people actually liked it. Where on the radio and national television couple of times too. I recently was on tv with the kitesurfschool, we had to teach 14 hot O'neill models (o'neill beachbabes) to kitesurf and the camera dude took a full zoom of my drewling face lol.

Also strangest thing happened to me a couple of months ago. I was on a rampage at night with some friends and we where passing by a beachclub. My friends told me to moon the ladies inside and so i did. However, when I had my ass up to the glass they started pushing me and that pressure made the window collapse. So i went straight through a clubwindow with my bare ass. Had a lot of funny hassle with the manager and so on, but it was worth the laugh. Two days later my friends said i was in the news paper with the story. However turned out that EXACTLY the same story happened to some other guy that also crashed a beachclub window with his ass, in another town 1 day later though :S reaaaally strange shit.. And very dissappointed it wasn't me

Ps blacktoothgrin, how was the rattlesnake bite?!
