[Artemisia] TV shows - They Got One <grin>

[Dame Rachel (Thaya Shaeffer)]

Greetings List,
  I also was simply expressing my concern for the reputation of the SCA, folks are certainly free to participate in anything they would like to do.  That being said, This Friday the episode of Wife Swaps that will air appears to involve an SCA couple.  From the preview teasers I saw (during breaks of another show I was watching) the producers already have their subjects.  The teaser clips showed both the wife and husband in full armor (nice armor I might add) and one of them mounted doing equestrian SCA style lance target tilting. Thus it appears the show found some SCA folks already - FYI.
  Fondly,
  Dame Rachel

  I appreciate these comments, and I apologize if my original message sounded like I was trying to tell people that they could not participate if they chose to. I wrote my original message in haste, and realized that what I was trying to convey came across in another manner. 

My concern was that this production company has made a point of seeking out SCAdians. People that have dealt with them said that the production company intended to make the individual's SCA participation a main focus if they were on the show. And I really just did not want anyone to go into it unaware.

As I stated to someone who sent these same concerns to me off list - I really have no opinion if someone goes on a reality show and says "I participate in a medieval recreation group" or something to that effect. I have somewhat of an issue if that person goes on the show, and through their choosing or that of the producers of the show, and the SCA is portrayed as a bunch of wierdos or something similarly negative.

Again, my apologies for a poorly worded post. I sincerely only intended to look out for my fellow Artemisians and the reputation of the Society we all enjoy.

Take care,
Thea
