Everyone I work with at the bakery is a weenie, so whenever a news crew comes in to do a story about whatever Obama cookie we have on hand, I’m the guy who gets to talk to them. But I guess I’m a public figure and all (um, sure I am) so I’ve got the media savvy.
I don’t know how long these links will last, but here’s the news segment posted by KVUE this evening. You only have to watch the first minute or so, the part with me in it. Whenever I see media of myself, I’m always shocked by how much I sound like Grover.
Also, note that I’m wearing my "You may be a zombie if…" T-Shirt.
If this extended text article works, Ms.Tuma obligingly quotes my delirious ramblings about the semiotic transgressions of decorated cookies:
"I think that there’s a special relationship between cookies and what they represent, or the symbolic appreciation of how a sugar cookie can take on the aspects of the things it has printed on it," he says. "Like a Valentine’s cookie in a certain way represents love, and an Obama cookie in a certain way takes on attributes of Obama."
In related news, I’m already sick and tired of the Obama administration.
