I would absolutely not allow myself to be used as part of a dog and pony show for the media. If this event was truly what it was presented to be, it would have been done privately.

It was as private as it was possible for it to be. They werent recorded -- their conversation was private.

I thought it was a nice, good-humored gesture and Im glad it went well. Wonder if Gates and Crowley will change at all as a result of this episode.
