Personally, I'd take the porn-star option. But that's just me.
In New York city, an acting teacher who is also in the US National Guard ( who was first called up to duty on September 11th 2001 ) has been suggesting to his acting students that ways of getting onto television ( and therefore to become famous ) are to become a porn-star and to "tell the government you're a terrorist".
"Tell the government you're a terrorist ( it WILL work )" -Those are the exact words of Monroe Mann, the founder of 'The Unstoppable Artists Business School' of New York City....
Quite frightening is the discovery that his suggestions were not made before 9/11 happened, but in January 2004. -Monroe Mann, an American soldier who was mobilized the day of the September 11th tragedies suggests inexperienced actors go out and tell the government they will do similar terrorist acts in order to become famous. Appalled? The few people who know of this minor internet legend certainly appear to be so.

I know of him vaguely - he's a loony - which is probably why he's an Intel Officer (as I'm currently an Intel NCO - we have to keep our eyes on these guys!). His material is part put-on and part tongue-in-cheek serious (weird huh).
He's OK - don't read too much into the newswire piece.
Hey! This is NY! There aren't too many conservatives around here, so we tend to get a lil' odd sometimes. (yeah - he's passable for a conservative). Believe he's back home now from Iraq tour - some of my E8 buddies were hooked up with him in Tikrit - think most of the 42nd has rotated back.
Intel joke-
Intel Officer say to Intel NCOIC ...
Hey! If I'm in charge, how come you have all the keys, the combinations to the safes, n' get to keep two full 9mm magazines in your desk draw?
Intel NCOIC ...
You say something Sir? Cup of coffee? Its fresh.

How can u say "don't read much into the report"?? He said you should be a terrorist. That is only a small part of the article. In the full article which is linked to at the top, it gives a link to his old site and I loaded it up and his list which said "By Monroe Mann' on it at the top said you should be a terrorist, become a pornstar, get arrested and some other stupid stuff just like the report said.
He doesn't seem to be "OK" like you suggest. Youre just sticking up 4 him as he's in the army like you. I've never heard anybody tell people to be terrorists or criminals to get ahead. Evn if it was meant to be tounge in cheek (which I doubt it was if you read up more about him) then it is still an incredibly stupid thing to say, especially coming from an army person.
What sort of person in New York city would go around telling people to be terrorists? He should be locked up.

Put on? Check it out! It is real. Monroe Mann exists. His suggestions to actors exists. His own website monroemann.com has a big banner saying "Oscard bound" on it.

I don't get it - what's your point? I told you his comments were a gag.
