Obama-crombie?

I'm not one of those "blog it as it happens" people. Sometimes things need to settle first in the brain before you can start typing about it. But what's with the 3 Abercrombie and Fitch "models" standing behind Obama in the audience at his speech in Indiana? Check out those hideous shirts! Who did those guys have to beat up to get those seats right behind the senator? A college prank or shameless corporate promotion?!

Well, at least it's good to see that Obama is bringing all sorts of types into his campaign. You can't ignore the jock vote, right?

Anyhow, I'm going to stop typing and pay attention to what Obama's saying. The primaries continue...

They're totally gay. (I'd know.)

These guys were pulling a prank, I'm sure of it. Look at the body language of the guy on the right. They decided it would be funny to spend a weekend coming super-early, waiting in line all day acting like Obama supporters, and wearing a stereotype behind Obama during his speech.

I hope someone can identify them from the pictures. If they pull this kind of garbage on national TV, they're fair game to be identified.

Whatever, you haters. We had triplets to stand back there, but then one of them ate french fries in our van but didn't know he was allergic to potatoes! We had to find the third guy, and he wasn't even tan when we found him.

If you've ever organized one of these on-sites, it's not easy. You think you're going in to a sure thing and then you have to scramble at the last minute. We had three of the same shirt, then we had to find two different ones because we didn't want to have two of one shirt and then one of another, or have three guys that aren't the same wearing the same shirts.

So anyway, it wasn't a prank. We had to scramble through bumblecluck Indiana and find the new guy a spray tan like 20 minutes before the speech started.

@Eric
Who do you work for? Abercrombie or Obama? Where did you get those guys from? Are they college students or professional models? Can you say where they go to school or what agency they're from?
