I recently interviewed the robot heckler who interrupted Bill Clinton's speech at the University of Iowa on December 10th, 2007. He is a professor of communications at the U of I named Kembrew Mcleod.
For those of you who think this is just an attempt by Kembrew to get attention, you're missing the point. As he has been doing since University, he is trying to point out the way that media can be so easily distracted due to their hunger for a "story" that they will miss the story. Do as he did and look up his intellectual forebear, Joey Skaggs. It's not so much about garnering attention for him as it is pointing out and CRITIQUING the short attention span of media.
This guy is a performance artist, that's it. He wanted attention drawn to himself, and basically acted like a crazy person to get it. Meanwhile, some people probably had actual questions for Clinton, or maybe they wanted to hear the President speak, and this clown used up their time. The sad part is that he takes his actions seriously, as some "media commentary." Of course the media is going to be focus on a crazy man so near the President. What a doofus.
Who gives a SHIT about this issue in 2007? I'm all for protesting, working the media, using a gag to get media attention.. hell, I'm probably the only person on the planet who likes "the robot dance". Bill Clinton took some rapper's words out of context to gain some political points over 10 years ago. Wow. Shocker. HOw the hell is this relevant to voters today?
