Obama Open Thread

All I want to know is what was up with the Abercrombie models behind him during the speech?

Here’s Obama’s rally speech from last night thanks to MSNBC.

I’m glad you noticed the models. So many people throught they were just frat guys, but we had a hard time finding those triplets. Twins, I should say. We went to lunch and one guy didn’t realize he was alergic to french fries. I mean, he knew he was allergic to potatoes, but he didn’t think they were french fries for some reason. He got sick and we had to find another model at the last second, adn then get him a tan. Sorry for your town, but they don’t ahve a salon open this night because we had to drive around for ever!

Anyway, this is thanks to you. We didn’t spend a lot of money but we had to get the brand out for our clients. I’m glad you say it!

“All I want to know is what was up with the Abercrombie models behind him during the speech?”

Dude 1: “Dude, we’re going to the Obama rally!”

Dude 2: “Yeah, we’re going to be on stage with him.”

Dude 3: “We need to look good cause we may be on camera.”

Dudes 1, 2 & 3: “Let’s go to the mall!”

LOL! Maybe his volunteers were trying to appeal to the douchebag fratboy demographic? (not really; I think it was just the volunteers’ bad and hasty choosing.) I dunno, but your question is a popular one in the internets today.

While I was on the floor near the stage looking on, I tended more to notice the fact that the risers directly behind Obama were totally middle-age white people central, with 2 or 3 token black people, even though that was not too accurate of the demographic makeup in the rest of the stadium (Lots of young’uns under 30, fairly ethnically diverse). However, the “blue-collar white”-ish demographics also where he’s got most support-getting to do. So, from a PR strategy perspective, I see the appeal of choosing most of the folks they did to sit there. Fratboy-douche aesthetics excluded.

I am pretty sure that those guys go to USI. I have definitely see them around somewhere before. Could have been the one time I went to a drag show at “Someplace Else”. Haha.
