...side, it was a useful spectacle. No matter how silly and insincere it appeared, the photo-op also effectively combined message propagation with real action. Sure, the usefulness of the “clean-up” was probably miniscule, but ultimately there was some positive action at its core. They were helping to clean up a park.
