Also this one: http://youtu.be/kGEO8qX4LfY An Irish start-up Soundwave (www.getsoundwave.com) hired these street dancers to rep the brand- but the street cleaner dance-off was actually accidental! Only in SXSW…

The question mark guy spends about $3MM of his own money on marketing every year. Hope you grabbed his contact info and some advice.

The question mark guy lives outside of Washington, DC and dresses like that every single day. Seriously, he has a whole wardrobe of those suits. I’ve seen him around town on his own time, running errands or whatever, and he’s always in a question mark suit. So, um, show some respect.

Pic#1 reminded me of Dumb and Dumber, as did the tenor of your last sentence

And here I thought the infomercial guy was cosplaying as The Riddler and happened to be color blind.

The guy in the question mark suit is Matthew Lesko. He does indeed do infomercials (at least he used to). I remember seeing them TV in my high school days. His books are all about how to get free money from the government for all sorts of things like health care, women entrepreneurs, and college loans.
