Joy!! Joy!! My day is made!! I caught the segment Michael quotes, and was pleased to see Ritz mention Zimbardo's study.
This morning, CNN ran a seven minute segment with Zimbardo as the sole interviewee. AND I GOT IT ON TAPE!!! Thank goodness for UltimateTV! I sent CNN an appropriately altered version of my earlier post to TIPS. I don't know if it had anything to do with CNN bringing Zimbardo on, but the important thing is that they did. (Truth be known, I hope to maintain the delusion that I at least helped, so please, please, please do not tell me otherwise.) Now, I am off to make suggestions for a future CNN Presents special. (Hey, when you can be delusional, why not go all the way? Why settle for a cookie when there is hope for a cake?)
