huh?

By way of reddevil, comes this on informational picket lines at Walmart in Nevada... seems the folks outside picketing are not Walmart workers... and they're not demonstrators in the traditional sense of the word... but rather paid to "protest".

Now this is new to me. I am still trying to wrap my head around it. I guess it's a reasonable marketing (is it marketing?) move on the union's part... and Hey, it's a free country.

I really cannot wrap my head around what it means... if anything...
