I was recently seen on TV during coverage of a local museum program for fifth grade students. The program takes groups from urban and suburban schools and pairs up calsses (this program is part of a settlement regarding racial integration in schools.) They learn about Mars and the Moon, and the program ends with the construction of "Marsville," a city of plastic domes in the gym of a local university. I was in the background helping a group of kids, and trying to hide from the camera the fact that my pants were falling down. This is the third year in a row that I was seen in the background during coverage of the program.
This winter, I was visible the same local news station when, during a between-classes walk to get food, I noticed a camera set up with a reporter talking, and assumed that the quality of the broadcast would be improved if I jumped into the camera's view, yelled, "I'm on TV!" and continued walking.
