In-Action Heroes - For Real, part two!

So, there really is no escape from the In-Action heroes, we thought the dolls were the real deal, but then Aquaman from yesbutnobutyes told us:

They did a real-life version here in Midtown New York a few months back. A friend of mine took a picture and posted it on our blog. The agency behind the campaign contacted us and asked if we wanted to interview him. We figured, what the hell? Here you go...

The interview the suck-up man is here. Some poor starving actor had to play the part of the suck-up man stuck in in a box all day, while some poor starving copywriter had to answer these questions. Only in New York, aye? ;)

YBNBY: Describe a situation in which you were able to use persuasion to successfully convince someone to see things your way.
S-U: I like to persuade people to see things my boss’ way. My perspective is inconsequential.

YBNBY: It’s often said that young children have more fun playing with the box the toy came in than the toy itself. After your role as the Suck-Up Guy In-Action Hero, are you hurt by that?
S-U: No, I’m not offended by anything.

YBNBY: You have a choice. You could get “Vote Bo Bice” tattooed on your forearm. Or, from this day forward, the only music you can ever listen to is a compilation of Carrie Underwood’s performances from this season’s American Idol. Which would you choose?
S-U: You are almost as funny as my boss! My boss likes Bo Bice so I would definitely get the "Vote Bo Bice" tattooed on my forearm.

YBNBY: What’s the exact wording on your resume for this “Suck-Up Guy” stint?
S-U: A copy of my resume is on www.in-actionheroes.com -- some of my accomplishments include the following:

Grade School: Teacher's Pet, Apple Polisher
Middle School: Faculty Lounge Decorator
High School: Cheerleader
College: Resident's assistant

YBNBY: An Isosceles triangle has two equal sides. What are the measurements of the three angles?
S-U: The 3 angels of an Isosceles triangle add up to 180 degrees. The base angles are always congruent, but the angle measurements can change based on the length of the legs. I only know this because I tutor my boss’ kids (free of charge, of course!).

YBNBY: There are like 10 different degrees of Black Belt in karate. Sacred ancient tradition or just a scam to make the top performers continue to pay the monthly fees?
S-U: Great question! I’ll check with my boss and then tell you what he thinks.
