Don’t quite know what to make of this:
For a town-hall-style pitch for phasing out Social Security, G. W. Bush’s hand-selected audience included Josh Wright, a representative of “the youth movement,” who is also a Utah dairy farmer (and son of a Republican state senator.) When Wright started talking, Bush said, “Wait a minute, you don’t need to talk about private conversations. OK, you’re a dairy farmer? Good. Milking those cows.”
For the introduction of its new Tacoma pickup at the Detroit Auto Show, Toyota hired Mike Reid, a 20-year old pizza waiter, ” to skateboard around the truck for three of the show preview days in order to ‘associate the vehicle with youth culture.'” On the other side of the truck was a magician “dressed like an ice fisherman.”
