Oh wait, I can make this relevent with books; Diabo Cody not only wrote this movie (and Juno) but she also has a book out called Candy Girl. It is about her stripper days. I have it but haven’t read it yet. One of these days soon.

          Alright so what I want to point out is the questions that she avoided.   I read through some of the comments and some people were taking Megan’s side and other’s were taking the interviewers side.

          Personally, I don’t think this lady was doing her job.  As a journalist, she should have known to ask questions that were important to the subject manner.  You are doing a story on Transformers.  Why are you asking questions completely off topic.

          When I first started college I was focused on being a journalist.  In high school I was on the paper (which future playmate Sara Underwood by the way, lol. ) and took it very seriously.  I studied as much as I could toward it while getting my AA but changed to English for my BA. I didn’t want to move away from Portland and there is better English programs here than journalism.  I’m happy I went that route since I learned from a Marlowe expert and also almost from one of the best known Tolkien scholars.  I say almost because they retired the year before me but my teacher got her lesson plans and many of her points from the previous teacher so I learned far more about Tolkien than I would have at any other college.

          Anyways, one thing I learned in journalism was you have to stay on topic.  You don’t have all the time in the world so if you have something specific to report on, you better get to business.  I could only imagine how much more true this would be in television journalism.  At a press junket, which is obviously where this was happen, you have an extremely short amount of time and it is directed at what the person is promoting.  Obviously Megan is not supposed to answer questions outside of that.  She is being paid to talk about Transformers. 

          For this journalist to put her on the spot with other questions was completely uncalled for.  For this uneditted interview to make it online (to Russia Today’s official You Tube mind you) was wrong.  It seems like they were trying to put Megan in a negative light by showing her avoiding questions.  Her agent did a good job.  I can only imagine how annoying it would be to have to sit and tell reports they are not asking questions within the areas they are told to discuss.  I’m sure that women was told what she could and could not ask yet she tried many times to get off topic.  Very unprofessional.

          I think I need to make one of my life goals to make it to Comic Con.  I’ll admit I’m not a huge comic person but I am enough that I think it would be fun. Plus I love any excuse to dress up.  Yes, I would go in costume for sure. 

          So here is my questions for today.  Are you going to Comic Con?  Do you wish you were?  If you had to dress up, who would you be?

          I would go as Aspen from Fathom.

          Did everyone else hear that Megan Fox is going to play her in the Fathom movie?  I think Fox is actually somehow involved as producer too.  I guess she was a huge Micheal Turner fan.  I think she is going to be perfect for the role.  She honestly does look like the character.    I get told I look like Megan a lot (like this weekend it happened half a dozen times.  Weird) so I could pull off Fathom too I think.
