Officially, it was embarrassing...

Unofficially, it was still embarrassing! And somewhat annoying when all's said and done...

Well, perhaps the proof isn't always in the pudding, or in the viewing if you've just watched tonight's evening news here in Vermont.

For the 10+ minutes of filming that took place yesterday only a couple of snippets from our interview made it into WCAX-TV's 'The Real Deal' feature, which sought to dispel or explain various urban myths, including the whole "are pigs smarter than cows?" thing.

And, oh my gosh, how did the editor in all his/her wisdom come to pick out that clip we ask ourselves?? Groan...

THE one and only moment when Adam chose to crack a joke (oh yes, we know all about those moments!) is aired, over and above all our other nuggets of expert opinion and scientific fact on the matter. And then, if it wasn't bad enough, one of the pearls that Jayne had dropped into the actual interview about pig intelligence being proven by some to be beyond that of a three year old child, was spewed out on TV by the reporter herself - smashing >:/

15 minutes of fame? You can keep it. 15 seconds is already more than enough for us!

Ah well, Adam has learnt much from this... ONLY if he has something he wants to say about his work, ONLY if he has thought about what he specifically wants to say AND ONLY if he doesn't drag his wife into it should he ever agree to do any TV interview again! Oh, and he should try very hard to avoid cracking jokes about cows and maze/maize ;)
