I'm never hppy with the "jokey" aspect of things like this but ya gotta face the fact that it IS gonna happen and the best thing you can do is to let them have a faint laugh and carry on...the joke will get old pretty fast.

Warning their broadcasters that they might offend someone? Might happen for some other groups but not for us, I'm afraid. If we threw up a kilted picket line around the station carrying signs that said "Unfair to Celts", they'd just video it and make a feature story out of it knowing that it would elicit a chuckel from the public at large...and that's what the media does best: turn it into a sound/video bite.

One encouraging thing that was laid in there was the comment by one guy that he was always looking for an excuse to try a kilt. That rings pretty true...there are a lot of guys out there who would love an excuse just to give it a shot to see if they like it. We can only hope that these dudes get the encouragement and summon up the motivation to give it a shot and maybe become at least part-time kilties.

Best
