Attention all World RPS Society Members:
It is a time for celebration. OPHS Varsity RPS will finally give our dear sport the respect it deserves. Today, we received an e-mail from a representative of Nickelodeon, the national kids television network. They had seen our site, and they want to come to Orchard Park to film a real RPS tournament. Then they plan to BROADCAST OUR TOURNAMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY!
This is a cause of major celebration here in Orchard Park, and I am very sure that the school will be VERY excited to hear the big news tomorrow. A nationwide network, here, at our school, to air RPS! Hey, we can't even get our administration to recognize us, but now we'll be promoting the game of Rock Paper Scissors to children across the country.
We are hoping to hold the recording in early June. I hope to use the school gym for the event, with an audience of several hundred (everybody wants to be on TV, right?). I would not be surprised if all three of our local TV networks are present, along with the Buffalo News and several other local papers.
This is great news. Celebrate!
Viva RPS.
