Well, if the school news counts, then I was in it all the time. I worked for the news studio in my high school. I wasn't actually on camera most of the time because I generally preferred working in the control room, but I anchored the show a few times and appeared in random packages and stuff.

A few years ago our state governor came to our middle school and there was a zoom-in of me in the bleachers.

I was zoomed in on in the stands of the Little League World Series which was on ESPN if that counts. My friend's mom saw me

My middle school a few years back was featured all over the local news for a MySpace incident that resulted in many suspensions...I wasn't specifically featured but some of my friends were.

I have.. sort of. It's not something i'm proud of, but last summer me and a couple of friends got drunk and decided to make some molotovs(stupidest, yet awesomest idea ever). We threw them on the street in front of cars in his neighbourhood, and one guy threw one at a bus window. We kept at it for a good 2 hours. We didn't cause any real damage but there was a small notice of it in the paper the next day. It was so much fun, but still such a stupid thing to do.

I've been in the Lake Geneva and Milwaukee papers a few times for swimming, usually on the coattails of the fast motherfuckers on my team :P

There was also the time where I got into a car accident after running a 3-way stop sign going the wrong way. It was foggy as fuck outside, so like 23521 people got into accidents, but apparently mine came in 2nd place on the Green Bay Press Gazette's list only to the guy who drove his car into the river. I can't find it anymore, though, which is probably a good thing because I don't really want employers looking at that when they google me :P

Also, when I worked for a city hall taping all the council meetings, I would put myself on TV at the end of each meeting and say something stupid. Good times; good times.
