A location on the North side of town had five people dressed as the Statue of Liberty swaying and jumping outside. The only thing that would have made it better would have been them busting into choreography.

People standing outside in freezing temperatures and wearing Statue of Liberty costumes signifies this. They wave to people passing by to entice them to use Liberty Tax Service to prepare their taxes.

Some of them are quite mechanical looking: slowly moving one hand back and forth and rotating their bodies as if they are lawn sprinklers. Others are quite enthusiastic about their job: jumping sporadically to make sure they catch the eye of everyone that passes by. Usually, I’ll chuckle at all of them, but the over animated ones will get me to laugh out loud.

None of them, unfortunately, will get me to use their service. It doesn’t work for the people advertising “Hot ‘n’ Ready Pizza for $6″ either.
