Get the fukk outta here 24 hrs ain't enough time to prepare for shyt. If you were working the register at McDonald's let's say you worked from 7am to 3pm, they come to you saying "we've chose you of all McDonald's employees to go to the international conference go home and pack the plane leaves at 6pm. You go home get on the plane fly to where ever get off the plane @ say 6 am get to the hotel 'try' to sleep for an hour then shower. Get up go to a big breakfast, followed by some seminar and presentation, lunch from 12-1:30 another presentation then they call you out and ask you to speak as a voice of McDonald's in from of thousands of employees including ceo's, and other execs. Your ass would be stuttering and stammering, your world would be spinning less than 24hrs ago you had glove on getting fries out.

:what:

Terrible analogy. That would have been the highlight of that McDonald's employees professional life. He would have spent a ton of time preparing for that presentation.


That was just another speaking engagement for Bay. Dude looked like he just showed up ready to collect his check and had not previously put any real thought into how Samsung's curved screen would enhance the viewing experience of his movies. That teleprompter broke, and he knew he had no thoughts on the subject so he panicked.

He's a director. Not a screenwriter, not an actor. Most people like 95% can't go on stage and talk without prep of some kind. He doesn't get paid to talk but paid to show.

You're copping crazy pleas for this dude.

:what: are you talking about? He literally did get paid to talk. Without prep? This wasn't some spur of the moment shyt. He was a guest speaker for Samsung. They didn't pull him out of the crowd on some "freestyle your thoughts on our product". They paid him to read a teleprompter, it broke, he should be able to function as a human being without a teleprompter. I'm not saying he should've delivered some kind of incredible monologue or anything, but to just completely :whoa: because a teleprompter broke is pathetic. He even said he was embarrassed by it on Twitter. Stop making excuses for him.

Fred.

I'm not copping pleas this is blown out of proportion. He didn't have the prototype or gadget for for a week so he could test it out and share his experience. They paid him to read a teleprompter. When the teleprompter broke his job was done.They probably loosely told him what it does or can do, they wanted him to endorse it so consumers buy it. The most he knows is "it's a new way to experience media"

"But how"
":yeshrug:"

You think shaq uses tough actin tinactin? You think he can explain how it works to foot patients? Other than "it heats then cools".

You think Joe Montana can explain how Dr Scholls works other than say "they're comfortable"

i guess it's samsung's fault as well. they should have made him very aware of the tv's features so he would be able to feel comfortable flowing off the top of his dome in front of an audience if need be. even if the teleprompter worked, it's possible he could get hit with a journalist's question about the tv, and he would at least need to be able to expound on a couple talking points.

:deadmanny:

Why are you acting like they pulled him straight off the set of a movie and thrust him onto the stage with no notice at all breh. That analogy was terrible to begin with, now you've managed to make it worse :heh:

Do you have any idea how endorsements work? He wasn't a part of research and design. This dude knows no more than you or me. Thus why he had a teleprompter that he was supposed to read. Like I said the most they did was brief him on what this new gadget does. He wasn't given one to use or tryout. If it wasn't him on the stage it would have been someone else.

Is that hard to understand?

It's one thing that he's a an introvert and actually speaks to audiences through media, his movies. Had he be an actor or had a better personality he could have utilized improvisation to keep it goin or cracked some jokes "this device works way better than this teleprompter "

People who do endorsements are paid to say what the company says. IE shaq with tough actin tinactin, Joe Montana with Dr Scholls, even Foreman with the fukking grill you name it they are coached or read from cue cards during the commercials/infomercials or a teleprompter. If that shyt goes off...that's it.

I have faith that foreman has actually used the grill and can carry a conversation about the motherfukker but if you ran into him on the street and asked him about the newest one would you be surprised if he said "anywhere between 15%-20% of the harmful fats drip into the tray and cleaning is easy because the grill plates come off and are dishwasher safe" like 6 different times and 4 different ways?

This really isn't a hard concept to grasp.

Dipped out like he saw Tyrese in the crowd



You could put me and 85% of this thread on that stage right now and we would do a better job than that. Thats a man whose never had to go on a job interview..

Most people would get butterflies/anxiety and a bad stutter but, they'd get through it anyway. Homie just ran off the stage :russ:

I used to do alot of performances back in the day, so that helped me tremendously with public speaking, especially when I got to college. After you embarrassed yourself in front of a thousand people, which tends to happen after enough times on stage, you tend to get really thick skin. But yea....You would think being rich and powerful would make him more confident. Nikkas wouldn't be able to tell me sh*t if I had 200 million. So what that I'm rambling and not making sense, shut the fukk up :childplease:

If you were working the fries at McDonald's and they pulled you up on stage to speak you wouldn't have shyt to say. Most fry cooks can barely take an order when their short staffed and you think they can speak to an audience?
