From YKTTW Working Title: Audit Threat
Leaper: This is incredibly minor and possibly unconsciously jingoistic, but is there any problem with the intro being so plainly British (i.e. not American)? I assume not, and it's probably silly to bring it up at all, but just asking.
(Never mind. I've decided that a narrative example is a little out-of-place anyway, and I'm rewriting the whole thing.)
Also deleted two examples for being examples of straight impersonation, not audit threat:
- Jake does this, pretending to be from the Musician's Union, in The Blues Brothers.
- Shrek gets into the Fairy Godmother's factory by pretending to be from "the union":
Shrek: We represent the workers in all magical industries, both evil and benign.Receptionist: Oh, of course.Shrek: Are you feeling at all degraded or oppressed?Receptionist: A little. We don't even have dental.Shrek: They don't even have dental. Okay, we're gonna have a look around. And buddy, it would be better if the Fairy Godmother doesn't know about his. Know what I mean?
