The promotion of pachinko parlours — or indeed a plethora of other pastimes — by handing out tissue paper and holding up placards may well be worthwhile, or at the very least not just a wearisome waste of time.
However, for those people picked out for such purposes, the only possible pleasure can presumably be packing an iPod.
And, at the same time, desperately praying that the battery doesn’t pack in.

They have people in Bath (the city…) who stand around all day holding “Subway –>” or “Golf Sale” signs.
