I do apologize for making a joke in bad times. Yes I was within 50 meters during the blast. Yes I was in the gym and using the bench press at the time. No I was not lifting 165kgs.
The joke was supposed to lift the mood for those of us directly affected and involved in the tragedy. Due to little preparation and nerves of live TV I took this a bit too far without thinking. I do apologize to those I offended and now wish to make good of this. On the bright side: negative news spurs attention and creates publicity. It seems I have unintentionally succeeded in this and want to make good from this situation.
What now?
Here is what now. For all the people following these threads and using their energy to voice themselves, here is your chance to HELP!

For anyone that watched the whole interview you will see one important point was made at the end. We don't want Andres Breivik to be remembered! We want his pictures removed from the tabloids!
Please please channel your energies here:
Massive appeal to world media by email
Perhaps this sounds stupid but this is the power of negative publicity. Use your noise for the better cause. and sacrifice 5 minutes of your time to write to these tabloids and help us.
For any that think I didn't care about the recent tragedy, please note:
I am a Norwegian resident who has lived here for more than three and a half years. I speak the language, have family here, work and pay taxes in Norway and even been lucky enough to play sport for Norway.
Hvor mange av dere kan si det samme?
My apologies and regards,
Cameron Wickham Leslie
