15 seconds of fame...

In 1968 Andy Warhol made the statement that "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." In 1979 Warhol reiterated his claim: "...my prediction from the sixties finally came true: In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes."

Warhol may turn out to be right in principle but wrong about how fleeting fame might be, courtesy of CBS Interactive.

If you had 15 seconds to tell the world whatever you want to, what would you say? Well, now's your chance to be seen and heard on national television, courtesy of CBS Interactive. Post your 15-second video on YouTube, and CBS Interactive will select one to be broadcast on TV! The first selection will air on Sunday, February 4, 2007.

This has the potential to be fascinating.
