Everybody Needs Media Training

Over at the company I help run, we sometimes do media training for our clients. This involves preparing them for interviews, explaining common journalistic tactics and generally making them more comfortable when talking to the media. This isn’t part of our usual spiel, but I’m thinking of adding another caveat: do not massage your ass on national television. Even if the credits are rolling.

I know that celebrities often have little visual signals (like grabbing an earlobe or whatever) for friends and family watching. Is there a secret message in Andrew Sullivan’s backside?
