Is it OK to say what you have?

I say it's unethical because it is a tourney. In a ring game it would be fine. In a tourney different rules apply because each hand affects everyone else in the tourney, even if they are not at your table.

BTW, the reason this example is unethical is not because he spoke about his hand (which is perfectly fine) but rather that the rest of the table colluded with him so he wouldn't get knocked out if they hit.

This is your answer. In a ring game, each hand is an independent trial and this kind of thing is fine. In a tourney however, not so much.

Saying "Please fold is fine" saying here's what I have (telling the truth or showing the cards) is getting a little boarderline, which is the way I voted.
