- That's better than the stock singing one from LA AIR FORCE. Which reminds
- me of what someone did years (about 12) ago at the college station I worked
- at. The person thought it would be funny to remake the EBS Activation Tape
- (Not the test mind you) in the voice of Mickey Mouse. Everything was in it..
- as far as the legally required script goes... of course, about the same time,
- the FCC was making it known that they didn't care too much for the musical
- versions of the test. I'd hate to see what they would have thought of that.
- I'm just glad that there was never any EBS Activation due to the county being
- overrun by an army of mice.

- Another EBS test that always cracked me up... (Don't know if they truely
- meant it to be funny or not) was the one KGO used to run a few years back
- with the oriental style music, and the Mandrian and English script of the
- test being said at the same time.
