Looks like the Koch Bros are preparing to fund their very own Project (No) Veritas — presumably with actors of less fundamentally repellant aspect than James ‘Dead Andrew Breitbart’s Dress-Up Houseboy’ O’Keefe. Joe Coscarelli at NYMag has an exclusive:
… In a cryptic job listing that went out today to a New York City improv theater, aspiring comedians were offered the opportunity to be involved in a “travel gig” later this month. “Koch Industries wants to identify current and emerging social and economic issues and the underlying emotional drivers and motivations behind them,” said the vague casting notice, via the branding company Firefly. “This research project will take a cross-section of people, ask questions, and then based on the answers, the improvisers will perform scenes.” Sounds hilarious (and lucrative!)…
The complete ad is at the link; it’s listed as a one-week ‘travel gig’ for seven to eight people, so Charles and David are showing their usual frugality when it comes to The Help. My advice to the lucky applicants would be to get full salary payment in advance, and don’t fall for the ‘buy your own tickets, the HR department will reimburse you later’ stunt, either.
