A modest proposal... er, plea

To: news outlets - national & local, major & minor
Subj: Dove Outreach Center's "Burn a Koran" day

A plea: Don't cover the event.
Send no reporters, no cameramen.

Aside: citizens of Gainesville (oh, and rest of the U.S.): don't go to the event.
If you must go, don't take your iPhones, camcorders, or any other visual recording device (this would include your 35mm SLR camera!).

Let Pastor Jones burn Korans.
Give him NO PUBLICITY!!!

[... after all, Gen. Petraeus and everybody else emphasizes that it is the propect of viral YouTube vids and other internet-enabled communications providing images of the event that will inflame the Muslim world. So: generate no images!]

Yeah, I know: this is wildly impractical.
Even if the news orgs decided to not cover the event, and if almost everyone stayed home... there's still Pastor Jones's congregation - and they'll almost certainly film it!
