Would it not be more apropos for the talking heads to rotate a full 360 degrees and then vomit pea soup? |

I never really understood the problem people have
with teleprompters. Some people have a tough time
speaking in public for hours upon hours and staying
exactly in the moment, sounding like you mean every
word even when you do mean every word, and
having one side of the media or the other just
waiting with baited breath for the next gaffe
opportunity. Do that, day-in, day-out, for a few years.
The reason most people only seek out 15 minutes of
fame is because at 30 minutes it becomes hard to
keep the crowd from turning on you. |

I like speakers who use notes. I get to see how much
they can remember and get an idea of when they're
improvising, actually thinking about what they say
etc. Just a matter of taste. |

Plus if they're really bad, and trying to pretend
they're good at speaking because they're got that
projected scrolling
script they're reading like a robot it's distracting. To
me anyway. |

// why not make it obvious in an entertaining fashion? |

Because no one would use them. |

I'm a horrible public speaker. I freeze up and rattle on
about nothing in circles until I can find a way out of a
catastrophe of a sentence. Doesn't mean a thing
about my thoughts on a matter. |

Tat, it wouldnt be up to the speaker. You could
make your speech from memory or do the twisty
head thing, and this would be for people hosting political debates that had a sense
of humor. |

Ray, but you're not a politician so you wouldn't be
required to use the tele-twist-omatic. This is for
politicians only. |
|
|
That's not my bone, by the way. |
