Marty Robinson, co-founder of the GAA, wears a duck costume in a zap of Fidelifacts Employment Agency, a company hired to perform background checks on job applicants that included whether or not the applicant was homosexual. When the Fidelifacts' founder was asked how he determined this, he reportedly stated: "...if one looks like a duck, walks like a duck, associates only with ducks, and quacks like a duck, then he probably is a duck".
