News Flash: The Media Likes Tits
25 Jan 2008 | Filed Under: Activism + Ireland + Social Networks
Very quickly from what has in the last 24 hours become an insane asylum:
TwoTitsandaVote.com is getting a lot of attention. I owe a serious pint to bloggers who helped get the word out online and to the people who shared their press contacts and who helped prep me for media interviews. It worked:
- Irish Independent - Page 10
- Irish Daily Mirror - Page 27
- The Star - Page 20
I have also had a landline and a mobile pinned to my ear since 4 am yesterday (more on that later!) and have done a bunch of taped interviews, now rolling out live interviews (updating this list as they are booked):
- 9.05 Radio Kerry (Dierdra Walsh was brilliant)
- 10:15 Cork 103 FM (David absolutely smashing)
- 10.45 LMFM Drogheda (Michael a little chilly)
- 11.05 TiperraryFM (Seamus Martin very engaged)
- 11:30 Midlands 103 (Shorter than I’d hoped given region)
- 1.00 Spin 103.8 FM Dublin (Team very clued in, rock)
- Monday at 9:05 Ocean FM in Sligo (note to self: DO NOT forget)
- Tuesday at 16:55 The Last Word on Today FM
- Thursday at 3 pm, Inside Out also via podcast!
Newstalk, who canceled yesterday, are also trying to confirm for Life with Orla Berry for today somewhere from 12 to 12:30 so hopefully that will work out as well! Bummer.
This is nuts. I’m exhausted. I’m also thrilled. Totally, totally thrilled.

You should be thrilled - you’ve achieved something magnificent. More power to you. :)

And deservedly so Sabrina. Well done. I wish there was a more emphatic way of saying it, but wow. :)

Heh - re: your comment on the Midlands piece, they gave the vet (I shit you not) a double segment instead of giving you your allotted time. Some comment about how they got SO much interest and questions, that they’d keep him on a wee bit longer. I was so interested in hearing about dog toenails, much more important than this titty crap! *SIGH*

Congratulations Sabrina, and well done for actually doing something rather than just talking! I love the website and the name is just brill.
