I have found it is a common rule that the press will not allow you to endorse clubs/organizations/websites unless the feature is about that specific topic. In all the media interviews I have been involved with, they won't mention clubs, websites, or DCS no matter how hard I pushed.

Guys, I must have mentioned the DMA 37 times during my interview. I also told him that Marc rescued me on the Jersey turnpike and how great DMA members are. Unfortunately, that stuff doesn't make for as interesting reading. I had no control over what they would take from my 5+ hours of interviewing. I had to fight to just get a decent picture of myself. Also, my car did stall the day I bought it. And, it stalled right before the interview and DURING the interview. It was very embarasssing. And, it wouldn't even start before the audio interview. A team of guys from my garage had to jump start it. My car is basically falling apart. Believe me, the NYTimes was very kind in its article. It could have been much worse. The part I was disappointed in was that they didn't capture me getting pulled over during the interview! The cop turned on the lights and made me cross two lanes of traffic on 8th Avenue--very dangerous! And, when I asked him what I did wrong, he said "Nothing, I just wanted to tell you you have a cool car! Can I take a picture??" Now THAT would have been a good story!
