Get your fame here

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

15 minutes of fame. That is what we always hear. "Someday we all get our 15 minutes of fame."

How does that work? Are we super famous for 15 minutes or do we just get written up in our local newspaper? 1 week later, does anyone know who we are?

It seems that some people will try anything to get attention, and their due fame, while others could care less. And while there are different avenues to take, it seems there are 2 that get the most wear: Crime and politics.

Commit some heinous crime and get your 15 minutes of fame. Run for office and get your 15 minutes of fame.

Get elected to office, commit some big crimes, and then get all of the fame you can handle!

Kevin~ Getting the 15 minutes of fame by committing a crime or being a politician just would NEVER be worth it to me!  Fame to me has never been on my priority list anyway.  How 'bout you?

I don't understand why people can be content with themselves and be thankful for the things they have.

Call the "CHAMPION" for all your real estate needs

This is famous on America's Most Wanted it's called 15 seconds of shame.  It's funny what someone will do to get noticed.

The thing that some people need...  Good thing everyone doesn't need the same...

Indeed, this is so true, and it seems to be the career path that a lot of people like to take.

I wish it weren't this way,

Kevin - I am going to feature this due the unfortunate truth in much of it. 

Larry - Hand over the syringe when you're done!

Kevin,

The fasstest route is being an elected official getting arested for doing drugs with a homosexual prostitute using money received from a bribe when said prostitute just happens to be an employee of your household who is also an illegal alien for who'm you have not paid social security tax.
