I don't know, I wouldn't use Glengarry Glen Ross as an example of something you'd aspire to. The play/movie is a criticism of the sleazy "sales animal" culture where the product doesn't matter, closing sales is equated to virility, and the players are so desperate for a sale they'd lie, steal and ruin other people's lives for it.



Bingo. This is about as amusing as Reagan using Bruce Springstein's "Born in the USA" in his 1984 presidential bid.

Do some people just not understand how to interpret literary, musical, and other artistic works? Or are they being deliberately ironic?
