Always Pick B! Reston: The Multiple Choice Test

Well, Reston Town Center was on the tevee this morning, as the Action McNews Team On Your Side Working For You did what those of us in the media "biz" call a "live shot" in our ersatz downtown. It was all v. v. exciting, especially when they had Congressman Gerry Connolly answer a quiz of Fun Facts about our plastic fantastic planned community.

Our usual plan of picking B on any multiple choice test, which got us into one of the Caribbean's most prestigious correspondence medical schools, didn't exactly pan out as we were playing along. But wouldn't it have been great if Reston had been discovered by Giovanni Restonazzo? Judging by modern Italian architecture, our brutalist masterpieces would have looked exactly the same.

All in all, it was great teevee fun and the best viral bit of marketing on the part of RTC since this great stunt, though we would have enjoyed watching the Action McNews Team On Your Side Working For You trying to figure out the simple-to-use ParkRTC app live on the air before the Action McNews Team On Your Side Working For You van got clamped with a highly telegenic bumblebee, the end.
