Feel like following some links for this?
First, in case the name Mike Rowe doesn't ring a bell: "Mike Rowe, star of Dirty Jobs, narrator of Deadliest Catch and other TV shows, spokesman for Ford and supporter and promoter of the skilled trades .... "
Second is this guy, who wrote a piece with a poll: Question of the Day: Are bad jobs good for the economy and people who work them? (poll) (http://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/index.ssf/2013/07/question_of_the_day_are_bad_jo.html#comments), and had to correct the error of using Mike Rowe's picture without permission.
Now, the fisking, found here (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=645614772115336&set=a.151342491542569.29994.116999698310182&type=1).

The whole thing is funny and filled with many excellent points, but this little bit was hilarious -
First of all, Steve, the Dirty Jobs Code of Conduct contains a Damnation Clause that clearly and unequivocally states that my photo “can not be used in conjunction with any satanic reference, including but not limited to Lucifer, Hades, Old Scratch, Hell, Perdition, Beelzebub or Honey Boo Boo.”

Twice now in the last week, men (one from whom we'd least expect it) speaking of no job beneath them/opportunity looks a lot like work. Should I be encouraged .... or are we being taunted?

I had heard before that Mike Rowe was a Republican (I think he was even at the convention in Tampa), so I wasn't too surprised. Who is the other one?

Ashton Kutcher Acceptance Speech - Teen Choice Awards 2013 (High Quality) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuBSRC1zpHw#ws)

Even though what Ashton Kutcher said was spot-on, it has cossed my mind that it could also be viewed as softening the ground for lower expectations and lower aspirations.
IIRC, he has been a staunch Obama supporter. I seem to remember a video with a bunch of celebs early on saying how it was now our duty to help Obama accomplish his agenda.
I may be misremembering.

Can't say, IDP, as relates to Kucher specifically. What I heard was a condensed, "Teen Choice Awards" version of Mike Rowe's words, pitched to the Entitlement minded young.

I impress myself:
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher 3:52: "I pledge to be a servant to our president and all mankind."

Well, you impress me too. A word: these people immerse themselves in a world of make believe; they become the characters they portray. I suggest that Kucher delved into the world of Steve Jobs due to the job and came away with a new understanding of free-market principles, albeit temporarily, until the next role. I'll take it, however small and temporary because the young heads full of mush tend to hang on these folks's every word and until the word changes, it is the word. Savvy?

Every time I hear or read anyone use "Savvy?" I have to think of the movie Tombstone. Even though it came out 20 years ago I only recently saw it. It was Ann Barnhardt's frequent referencing of it that prompted me to watch it. Great movie.

For me, it was Pirates of the ____ ; Johnny Depp. Savvy?

Best part of the whole thing:
MR- Well, Steve, I’m no expert (and the Hubris Clause of the DJCC forbids me from pretending to be one), but after a lot of careful reflection, I think we might have our head up our ass.
And yeah, Tombstone is epic. Terrific work by Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot and many others. Stomped the Costner wannabe film, "Wyatt Earp" into the ground. That one is in my top 10 best westerns of all time.

Excellent.
This country pretty much values work only if it comes with enough perks and benefits.
