That whole presentation was awkward along with the videos.  I think they made it a point to include the "on the go" and "I'm so busy" themes in all of the fake actors scripts.  Also, the presenters could use a little more practice so they are not so obviously reading from the teleprompter.

I have a friend that's an actress and companies pay her to speak at trade shows as if she's part of their company. After, she tells people to direct questions to the sales people then disappears. Makes you wonder, are all attractive people at trade shows just actors? (Although, I can't think of any examples right now in the wireless industry...)

You could feel the whole room cringe when Zoll was front and center. But at least they gave us popcorn. JB

Ugh, I had forgotten about that creepy little kid from CES. Thanks for the reminder! Samsung really loves its actors. Real people in videos would be so much less awkward. (This doesn't apply to Kim though - he's a great MC and demo giver...unless, is he just acting too?!)
