Reply #59: GiC, I should tell you about an embarrassing moment

[u4ic]

When I was in grade 9, we went to a taping of "The Great Debate" at CBC.

As it was the first time I had been in a studio, I weaved my way to the front of the line, and sat in the first seat nearest the stairs, in the first aisle.

The topic was "socialism vs capitalism".

I had no idea what either was. :rofl:

I had no idea that Pierre Berton interviewed audience members beforehand on the debate subject matter.

Guess who's the first to be asked? I can't remember EXACTLY what I said, but it was silly enough that the audience burst out laughing; no doubt something befitting of a grade 9er who had no idea what they were talking about.

Later, in between shooting breaks (there were 2 more episodes being shot), a few from my high school came up to me and snarked on the girl who made a fool of herself at the beginning of the show. (they didn't realize it was me)

There we go...I made an idiot of myself in front for the whole country to see. :blush:
