[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1178060, member: 22880"] Definition of dog and pony show... This tells me that he had a rehearsed script, and only wanted the employees as 'scenery'. Same thing happens when a political candidate goes on tour, and gives a speech with a bunch of firefighters, police officers or military personnel IN UNIFORM - standing behind the candidate (and being photographed). There is an underlying assumption that those who are 'standing behind' the candidate while the speech is given, SUPPORT the candidate. In most instances, the individuals that are in the background are FORCED by their superiors to appear, and applaud on cue. In this case, MT3 had his speech well rehearsed (he must be spending a LOT of time rehearsing crap for PR use), went somewhere with a screened audience (I'm positive local management was instructed to provide ONLY employees who are either timid, stupid or OD-ed on the KoolAid), then put on his show with minimal interruption from the 'audience'. When the dog and pony show is aired to the wider Express wage employee force, many will think that those in attendance are in agreement with what MT3 said - so they too should be in agreement (group think in action). All carefully choreographed and designed by expert consultants in group psychology - all to get the feeble minded to accept a line of bull.... [/QUOTE]
