Do you want to be famous?

Are you wondering how you can insert yourself into our reality TV based 'news' shitshow?

Here are some tips!

If you go around, you'll find a journalist doing something like this.

As you can see, they aren't very difficult to spot.

Approach and tell him you have EXCLUSIVE insider information on some famous person, preferably an opposition politician types.

"But why would the reporter trust me?" you ask.

Oh pls. They trust anyone.

Check this out: the same bicycle fellow in the clip above wanted an EXCLUSIVE from a random lady who just showed up and screamed "KALA JADOO KARTE HAI YE!!!"

Another way to do it is to find something linked to an activist/opposition-leader/vocal-celebrity.

Like a public webinar.

Then, you email it to Times Now & say "This is a SECRET EXPLOSIVE EXCLUSIVE CREDIBLE intelligence leak."

They'll carry that shit.

After this, just become a panelist! You gave them the EXPLOSIVE EXCLUSIVE stuff, so why not milk it, eh?

They take literally anyone as a panelist. Like this chap who wanted an FBI and Interpol investigation into SSR case.

Matlab, kuch bhi pel do!

Another nifty trick is to send a simple email to Times Now saying something scary.

They'll EXPLODE on primetime EXCLUSIVELY to show that email.

Here's a test case:

Want more?

OK.

Start a Facebook page and post something really crazy and divisive. Doesn't need any backing or whatever, just kuch bhi pel do.

Our friend Sudhir Chaudhary will find it and make a show out of it. He's done it once, why not again?
