are you sure it's stupidity? you could just make this shit up and sell your story to some media outlet. so many ways a playa can play the game.
Something tells me this guy isn't a master of chicanery.
But then again:
Mr Clatworthy previously made headlines in 2007 when, aged 12, he used his judo skills to catch a drink-driver who had crashed into three cars in Ilkeston Road, Radford

Another conspiracy? Great! We surely did not have enough of those on btctalk!
But I tend to agree. I had tons of quasi-important stuff to share with the media in my life, but they ignored me.

it's kind of funny how ad revenues work really. all you need to do is create content that entertains people. that's what news has become; a vehicle for entertainment and not education.
