    If you get a chair you should be able to get on the T.V.

    :D Ha! The state pathologist is always on tv, so if you follow her around the country you'll certainly get on tv! Buy yourself scrubs, a face mask and a briefcase and walk beside her when she's on tv.

    If you are mentally retarded then you'll have no problem getting on a reality TV show.

    Wait around outside on of the tribunals at around 6PM, then jump around behind Charlie Bird, waving your arms around. Presto, you're on the TV.

    Glas Vegas

    Easy peasy way in the door right there. Have they still got Eoghan Harris knocking around on that show? Absolute tosspot.

    You'd get on tg4 no problem with the cupla focal. Two or three of my teachers popped up on that channel over the years.

    You could always join FF/FG/Labour and go on Questions and Answers, and have your 25 seconds of fame.

    The people on those shows are very carefully vetted by RTÉ and FF.
