alexparker Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 :? I feel useless. I would really love for the 20/20 thing to happen. I think it would mean a lot to all of us, but I'm a minor and I'm just not sure there's anything useful I can do. Is there? Link to post Share on other sites

The Evil Cashew Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Tanwen 20/20 is uhm er.. well A relevision show. and the do reports and interviews about special topics. er.. kinda like news... but more like a talk show sorry .. that was horrbile... ~Cashew Link to post Share on other sites
Goonie Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 have you heard of 60 minutes or Dateline? It is similar. It is like a "special" new show where they go "in-depth" on a topic for an hour or so. Link to post Share on other sites
bard of aven Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 http://abcnews.go.com/2020/ A sort of tv hour-long popular culture magazine thingie.

Goonie Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 hehehehe :lol: alright it is a smut channel that goes with whatever is in the tabloids. Better boa? Link to post Share on other sites
winter Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 *raises hand* *support to all the others* i still have to email her a photo. curse my not having a photo of me. curse my not having internet access where my computer can be useful... i'm willing to go on the show and told her as much. i guess this means i really do have to tell my parents now....*thinks on all the evenings spent watching baba wawa with mom* Link to post Share on other sites
Goonie Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 it will be interesting if she gets the story... Link to post Share on other sites
winter Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 well, despite some of the quirky (to be polite) stories covered by the show recently, barbra is still is pretty major journalist and as a girl trying to break into the field, the women is a sort of icon (being polite again). i think that would be filed under my list of surreal experiences...(how long before we're on "the view"?)

bard of aven Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 hehehehe :lol: alright it is a smut channel that goes with whatever is in the tabloids. Better boa? No. It is what it is. Neither news nor smut. It reflects the popular culture to the popular culture in a way that makes money for the shareholders. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't think that makes it, or any of us being on it, a bad thing. Or a good thing. It is what it is. It is there to serve its own interests, not ours. If it can serve ours while serving its own, so much the better. boa Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Nook Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 This is unbelieveable! I never thought we'd get so much coverage! Any word yet on air dates or how long it'll probably take? edit: YAY, I FINALLY reached 400! Link to post Share on other sites

Cate Perfect Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 yeah [edited]... it will be interesting if she gets the story... though, I think if she were to do it, I wouldn't be able to stop laughing And let's hope she doesn't look at the site to do research and see us poking fun...

Cate Perfect Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Sorry, cartoony one. I wasn't picking on you, really. It's just that sometimes I think we all forget that AVEN is viewable by everyone, not just asexuals. Though, that would be cool. If only asexuals could see the site we'd never have trolls. We also wouldn't be able to point it out to sexuals who need enlightening. Cate Link to post Share on other sites

Orbit Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 (how long before we're on "the view"?) From what little I've seen of that show, sex is quite celebrated and to have someone 'asexual' on would probably bring out a lot of :shock: and :? . Sort of similar to when the Sirius guys were just plain mystified and shocked that anyone could enjoy their life void of sexual attraction. I'm really curious to see if the questions asked on 20/20 will be all the same one's we've heard before, or if there will be any fresh ideas discussed. Of course - to be fair, the questions are all normal and natural to those who have never heard of asexuality - so they should be discussed, as the audience will most likely be wondering it too. I'd just like some reporter to get past all the 'are you sure you can't fix it' questions and get into the discussion of what is it like as an asexual in a sexualized world - and what benefits are there to being asexual in the way you view social situations. As soon as the world can come to grips that asexuality exists, maybe they can move on to (what I find) more interesting aspects of asexuality. It's not just about - we don't like what everyone else likes - it's also that because we don't have that sense, we have a unique perspective on the potential of human interactions! hawke Link to post Share on other sites
