Rubik's Cube sightings in media
To my surprise I found cubes in the biggest Toronto newspaper today (Metro), on page #2. Millions of people here read it. Thats the exposure that we need!

It got me wondering about exactly how much exposure it is getting elsewhere. Did anyone see it in the media recently? I wish we had a thread dedicated just for this. It is exciting and interesting to see whats written about us, the "speed cubers".
wow, but Philippine is even better because during the Rubik's Cube Philippine Open 2007, there was a media recording the competition and then later broadcast it. A lot of tv appearance getting a lot of attentions to all filipinos. Wow.
Haven't had much media exposure in my area. Alabama*
Wow that's cool!
Not exactly the same, but i managed to get my cube into South Africa's biggest IT mag. I write for PCFormat here, so i pushed my cube into one of the photos :P
Hopefully, people are smart enough to realize that is a puzzle and not a stand for the plastic you're working with.
Well anyone who doesn't have the common sense to realize THAT, will never be able to solve a cube anyway :POriginally Posted by pcharles93
maybe the speedcubers here can come up with a "record" attempt on the next world championships.. hopefully the media can cover some of that..(guiness record??)
i don't watch a lot of ESPN but i have seen speedstacking a couple of times but never a speedcubing event...True??
Not speedcubing but there is a commmercial on TV right now with some lady designer her loft and turning a rubiks cube with pictures of her fancy pad on it.
about a month ago there was a 1-minute spot on the 9 o clock news about speedcubing competitions.
"some even get times under 45 seconds."
*scoffs* *walks away from tv* *considers calling station to complain* *decides to go cube some more instead*
Nothing much, but on George Lopez, he commented on his friend's cube with one side completed
