Joey Skaggs' Works in Law | Politics
Maqdananda, Psychic Attorney
For April Fool's Day in 1994, Joey Skaggs wrote a script and produced a 30 second TV commercial in which he portrayed a psychic attorney called Maqdananda to satirize the proliferation of both New Age psychics and ambulance chasing attorneys. The commercial aired 40 times throughout the last week of March on CNN Headline News in Hawaii.
Bodyguard to the Stars
Joey Skaggs and a female accomplice played the part of bodyguards for Paul Newman, Carl Sagan and Mark Green at a couple of New York fund-raisers for the latter's New York Senatorial campaign.
Nose Knows
Joseph Adore (aka Joey Skaggs) was born with an extremely acute olfactory sense and was personally responsible for more drug busts than any DEA agent in history.
April Fools’ Day Parade
For more than three decades, New York City's Annual April Fools' Day Parade has offered the public an opportunity to express, in a comical way, its outrage against the foolishness of mankind. Thousands of participants in look-alike costumes with satirical floats creatively mock the thoughtless, corrupt and selfish acts of the past year. The parade marches down 5th Avenue from 59th Street to Washington Square Park where revelers rejoice and party. The event ends with the annual crowning of the King of Fools.
WALK RIGHT!
In December of 1984, Joseph Virgil Skaggs (a.k.a. Joey Skaggs), had had enough of the outrageous behavior exhibited by inconsiderate, unconscious, hostile pedestrians in New York City. Skaggs formed WALK RIGHT! -- an ad hoc group of vigilante sidewalk etiquette enforcers who published a petition that listed sixty six rules for pedestrians which they wanted to have enacted into law.
