FYI it doesn't always START with the parents.
When my daughter was pretty young we got this thing in the mail about some 'golden opportunity'
for our kid. All we had to do was commit to sitting through a 2 hour spiel at some downtown hotel.
There was maybe a hundred sets of kids/parents there and some supposed big shot talent agency dude
got up front to speak. Again, SUPPOSEDLY, they were looking for new talent and wanted to test our kids.
They each had to read a short commercial type scene in a silly mock-up of a set with mock camera and everything.
Then it came.
Once all the kids are frothing at the mouth at the chance of being a STAR we get hit with the catch:
Today, and only today (of course) a couple dozen of us were going to be giving a chance at the next step based
on the "audition" of our kid.
For this one time offer of only $1,200 we will be guaranteed at least 4 professional photo shoot cattle calls.
She bargained away a couple Xmas's and birthdays and we wrote the check.
Be willing to bet a few of the parents got hooked and took it past the 4 'freebies'.
TL;DR
Who's first to post a clown?
