Hi there,
I hope all is well with you and
I apologize for writing to you direct but I am trying to contact as many
people about this exciting new show we’re currently producing for TLC.
We’ve been commissioned to produce a brand new series
for the network that taps into the real-life experiences of Americans
– the funny and the embarrassing moments that we all have been through
at some point in our lives!!! This is a massive series and the channel
is extremely keen to launch it with a bang – it’s their new baby!!!
It really is a fantastic opportunity for all viewers and contributors
across America and across all ages to share a common sense of human
frailty and comedy all in one go!
We would love to hear from everyone who has had a ‘Bridget
Jones’ moment or been in an excruciating situation like in ‘Meet
the Parents’ or the ‘Fockers’ and wondering
if we could, in any way, contact/spread the word to any of the
young people that have written in to your amazing site. Any point of
contact with people whose experiences have encapsulated the embarrassing
moment we all think about and just go ‘oh my god’ would be great.
We do have a very small budget but are hoping to be able
to offer something for the best stories that come through that might
then hopefully be used.
If you can help us in any way, I’m sure it will be a
great programme and a link to and from TLC might be a good
thing for you?? let us know as soon as possible if you have any ideas!!!
Thank you so much for your help and looking forward to
hearing from you at your convenience.
All the very best,
Irene Antoniades

We receive about 7 to
800,000 monthly visitors and hope a few kids respond to your
request. I'm sure they will be delighted to receive a gift if their
embarrassing story is used on your program. I do have a few ideas
but let me first post your letter asap to help get the word out.
We look forward to the
link exchange.

ICE " stands for In Case of Emergency.
Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's
identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they
are trying to get everyone to adopt ICE.
If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under
ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person that the emergency services
should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have your
loved ones contacted quickly. It only takes a few moments of your time to
do. Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately.
ICE your cell phone NOW! PLEASE PASS THIS ONE ALONG.....
