Celebrity for the day.

“Using his real first and middle name, and with the help of just a few staged people, tons of people believed Thomas was a famous actor, including mall security. The mall assigned us a security detail who escorted us everywhere and helped close stores for the supposed celebrity. They also took us through private corridors to avoid the frenzy.”

“In the case of one Occupier arraigned yesterday, all the indicators pointed to an ROR.
