A former politician in southern India has reportedly launched a "rent-a-crowd" company to recruit people to cheer at party rallies and said he has been deluged by would-be recruits.
It almost sounds silly until you think about the fact that we hand pick and screen crowds for our political speeches. Smoke and mirrors.
this reminds me of my days in college. a few of us made extra money by hiring ourselves out as protesters-for-hire. i'll have to include this in a future post regarding my college days. :-)
