Cowboy Caleb Doesn’t Want You To Go Blind From Being In His Divine Presence lah

In a nutshell, BlogTV (some show on Channelnewsasia) asks me to be interviewed to answer some painfully obvious questions. The problem is that I’ve noticed in the past that people (the general public) tend to go blind from being in my divine presence.

Technically, the only way to ensure people remain safe is to make them read my blog or listen to me whisper (if I speak normally, people develop urinary tract infections, hence the hushed tones).

Update: somebody emailed to ask what happens if a blind person is in my divine presence – the answer is that blind males gain another 2 inches of penile length while blind females obtain the ability to ’see’ through male bullshit.

Hi Caleb,

Hope this email finds you well.

My name’s Jacqueline and I’m from the blogtv programme team of ChannelNewsAsia, Singapore.

In an upcoming episode of the talk show, we’re exploring the topic, “is traditional mass media losing its influence?” Basically, traditional mass media like print, radio and TV seem to be losing ground to the advent of the Internet and more recently, mobile technologies like 3G streaming. There has definitely been an increase in the number of people turning to the web for their news updates, on internet news websites, blogs and online communities, newspapers and TV news have definitely been affected. Radio has also been losing listenership to podcasts and iTunes. As the song goes, “video killed the radio star”. Has blog now killed the radio/video star? As a blogger yourself, I hope you’ll be able to join us in the discussion and share your views. I understand that you travel often and may not be in Singapore at that time. In that case, we could do a Skype interview or conduct a short 3G video call if you are in Singapore and unable to travel to the location for the recording. Please feel free to call me should you have any questions. If you wish to find out more about the show or watch a couple of episodes, you may go to www.blogtv.sg.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

Warm regards,
Jacqueline Seng
Producer, English Current Affairs

Hi,

Thanks for this wonderful op. Unfortunately, I would like to remain
anonymous and that means keeping my ugly mug out of sight from the
general public. I don’t mind if it’s a voice recording but no videos,
please.

regards,
C. Caleb

Hi Caleb,

We’ve had interviewees on the show before who wished to remain anonymous. For example, one guy on the show wore a cap low to cover his face, the cameraman would frame the shot just right and we addressed him as Bob. We can also do something similar for a Skype phone call if you don’t even want us (the production team) to see you in person. =)

Would you be comfortable with that? Let me know your thoughts.

Regards,

Jacqueline
