A sandwich-board wearer hands out coupons of a Broadway show at Broadway around Times Square in New York May 8, 2009. Walking the sidewalks at Braodway, wearing a sandwich board advertising a Braodway show and handing out coupon fliers, these cash-strapped sandwich-board hawkers get a lot attention. The pay is about 17 dollars an hour, plus a 5 dollar commission. The coupons the sandwich-board wearer hand out are color-coded so that box-office staff can see who sold what. Not since the economy crises have so many sandwich-board hawkers strid up and down Broadway, promoting various shows. [Xinhua]
