I don't even want to think of what a fur fighter might be.
It's a product for removing pet hair from upholstery, hard surface floors, auto interiors and clothing.

Okay, where do I go now?I think coach should assume the identity of Dr. Martin Van Nostrand.
Contact this Miller guy, does one suppose?
By the way, anthropology's serious business, and I don't want to mess with anyone's academic decorum.
On the other hand, the primitives, who have no decorum, deserve all the messing-with they get.

Daniel Miller (born 1954) is an anthropologist most closely associated with studies in material culture and consumption. His theoretical work was first developed in Material Culture and Mass Consumption and more recently in his book Stuff. This is concerned to transcend the usual dualism between subject and object and to study how social relations are created through consumption as an activity.
With his students he has applied these ideas to many genres of material culture such as clothing, homes, media and the car, through research based on the methods of traditional anthropological ethnography in regions including the Caribbean, India and London.
His work on material culture also includes ethnographic research on how people develop relationships of love and care through the acquisition of objects in shopping and how they deal with issues of separation and loss through their retention and divestment of objects.
He was originally trained in archaeology and anthropology at the University of Cambridge but has spent his entire professional life at the Department of Anthropology, University College London which has become a research centre for the study of material culture and digital anthropology.

From wiki:
"social relations are created through consumption as an activity."
If a form of "consumption" can be "political activity," and I don't see why it couldn't (i.e. the primitives consume liberal/progressive ideology), then the primitives would certainly warrant a study. At least the methods used by Dr. Miller in his former studies might lay the groundwork upon which to build the study of Skin's island. Definately worth a try.
What'd we do, sir--hit the same buttons at the same time?

That's one angle, the primitives as consumers of political pablum.
But one can go all over the place with this; how about the primitives as consumers of other people's money, for example.
You're right, too many to even try to list. However any specific formula or technique he uses would be of interest, because if you find him worthy of taking up our noble cause, but he is unable to do so because of existing obligations, information from him might assist us in undertaking the study ourselves as a service to the human race.
