Be the guy on the front of the star who fell asleep in a swimming pool during his leaving cert night.

A proper night of drinking.

I called Charlie Bird an orange bastard. Thought i was on to a winner and hired an agent. Didn't pan out in the end though.

Without going on a mass killing spree what is the best way for someone who doesnt have any stand-out talents to gain fame. I'm not talking about being famous world-wide, just for example, the level of fame that Breffny now has in this country!!

You know I always assumed this would be the easiest way to get yourself known too lol :pac:

1) Become one of these so called "models".
2) Suck off some semi known socialite ballbag.
3) Pose in the middle of the street in your underwear.
4) Break up with said ballbag on radio or TV cos of row about posing in the street in your pants.
5) Tell everyone that you DONT do drugs.
6) OD of a drug overdose at a cocaine party!

Simple!

dye your hair blonde
use the Irish version of your name, but string it out a bit so no one, even fluent Irish speakers can't pronounce it
hang out in the "Right" clubs
get a job on RTE

Oh yeah, have a very rich Daddy, preferably one who is a Fianna fail TD.

Apparently TV3 run a show called "I'm a celebrity...." and even though no-one in it actually is one, they get known that way.....at least to brain-dead tabloid-reading plebs who like to watch "reality" that involves people sticking their heads into buckets of - unfortunately DNA-adjusted-so-they've-no-poison - tarantulas...

You could try that.

Pretend someone called 'Mary' talks to you but no-one else can see her...:pac:

congo_90 · 18-11-2009 02:45AM

See how many forums you can get banned for using unique reasons for each forum.
Then you will be famous.

Endorse products like rashers or cattle feed during the ads at half time of an All-Ireland Final.

When I first read that, I thought to myself 'Who the fúck is Mary Jordan?!'.

You just have to be half-decent looking and wear little clothing and have a name like Jenny Lee Masterson and you end up in the Metro and Herald everyday promoting "Dogs in Distress" or Mobile Phone Recycling or something stupid like that. Then you start banging a celebrity barrister or a rugby player.

That'd be the O'Connell St in Dublin, then ?

That would de[end on how famous you want to be. You could do it on O'Connell Street, Mars, but it's unlikely to be reported and therefore unlilley to gain you fame.

If you do it on O'Conneel Street Limerick, chances are no one really notices.

NothingMan · 18-11-2009 10:52AM

I am so happy I have no idea who most of the people you're talking about are.

I would say the quickest way would be to bring out a cleaning product with a stubid name and make a cheap TV add and scream like a mental patient down the camera.

HI, I'M BARRY SCOTT!

Get yourself two modeling contracts. Then everytime someone opens something get your face in the photo, think of Twink she's there if you open a pack of Tayto,

There's no "O'Conneel" Street in Limerick.

But my point was simply that there's more than one O'Connell St.

Now that you've apparently raised the usual rubbish, it's probably true from past experience that if it happened in Limerick you'd still be famous in 20 years time when some tabloid rag decided to use it in "current" stats.

Really? I mean, that's not a tyop - I genuninely thought there was an O'Conneel street somwhere in Limerick...? Fancy that...

The point being: if the intent of the action is to gain fame, one would choose the most public area and populated area in the country. Which is, in Ireland's case, the main street in the capital city.

No argument there in general.....which is why I made that option the assumption in my reply.

But saying "O'Connell St" could be O'Connell St, Ennis for all I know, and it could be argued that something like that in a small town would be so out of character that it'd hit the headlines quicker.

So the bottom line is that it makes sense to specify which town you're talking about rather than assume "O'Connell St" automatically means "Dublin".
