Tim Robbins’ “Controversial” NAB Speech

April 16th, 2008

It reminded me of his speech in The Player. Also, the NAB organizers telling a room full of journalists to turn off their recording equipment was probably the best way to ensure that the message made a decent sized plop in the memepool.

There’s a lot of news this morning, I don’t want to get bogged down with celebrity speak.

Even as he came on stage to give the keynote address at the National Association of Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas, it was obvious that Tim Robbins’ remarks had caused controversy backstage. The Academy Award-winning actor and critically acclaimed screenwriter, director and producer first indicated to the audience that he would not be giving his speech. Then, floor agents of the NAB organizers ordered journalists’ video cameras turned off. Mr. Robbins changed his mind and started talking. Listen to the six best minutes of the speech the NAB didn’t want you to hear.

    I listened to it but am none the wiser. What was he rabbiting on about? Can anyone cut through the waffle and tell me the point he was trying to make?
