Adama at the UN

So say we all!

[frookenhauer]

I couldn't take it seriously...I love him in Galactica and he beats Lorne Greene or whatever his name was at Adama hands down, but at the UN...Nah!

[Aptorian]

A bit longwinded but a good point. He had that audience in the palm of his hand.

[cauthon]

@Frookenhauer The point he made remains valid. He just powered it up a bit.

I love how Mary McDonnell immediately reacted in a slightly surprised way when she agreed with 'Adama'.

Here was me thinking Mary McD's facial expression was shitty acting, it seems a permanent fixture.

But that aside, A reasonably well thought out speech with a good message behind it

[frookenhauer]

The point made was fantastic...so say we all and all that, but really...I would much preferred Bob Geldof to have promoted the idea. But that's just me and I was not the target audience and he did indeed have the audience in the palm of his hand. And if it gets the message out there...great.

[Macros]

Bob Geldof simply couldn't deliver that message in any way that wasnt completely ridiculous.

"Look, you dont FUCKING understand, .............

[Aptorian]

Seriously, nobody who doesn't watch reruns of the making of liveaid actually knows who the hell Bob Geldorf is. Worlds most overrated mediochre celebrity.

Only slightly less annoying than Bono.

[frookenhauer]

You weren't there man!

[Aptorian]

I was probably 2 years old back then

[frookenhauer]

Indeed...Frikkin youth of today

[Illuyankas]

I last saw Bob Geldof in a bank commercial.

Bob Geldof, last seen Judging

So say we all indeed! He was a little fantastical and long winded but the message was spot on! He did have the attention of everyone in that room! Extra props for tying Battle Star Glactica into a message of such relevance and not having it seem out of place. I agree it wouldn't have been the same coming from Bob Geldof. That was fantastic, thank you for posting it.
