One of these “mechanics” is sporting a gold watch, manicured hands, and a brand new shirt. That’s because he’s not a mechanic, or even an actor.

He’s Washington lobbyist Rick Berman.

Berman is a gun-for-hire—nicknamed Dr. Evil—who specializes in creating nonprofit front groups to push corporate interests. His clients have included the likes of Phillip Morris, Coca Cola, and Tyson’s Foods. But you wouldn’t know it hearing the names of the organizations he starts. The Employment Policies Institute? They fight minimum wage increases. The American Beverage Institute? They go after Mothers Against Drunk Driving. And the gem of an organization linked to the Super Bowl ad is the Center for Union Facts.

Not to be confused for the man who worked on Star Trek Richard Berman is truly a sight to behold.

The Center for Union Facts (CUF) argues that unions are corrupt and bad for workers, as shown in the Super Bowl ad.

And that, everyone, is why you never believe everything you see on TV or read in the paper or the net. People have an agenda. The fact that it was advertising to the Super Bowl should've been suspicious by itself.
