People who enjoyed this ludicrously over-exaggerated stereotype also enjoyed the disclaimer at the bottom of Innovate!. Good for them.

A block-headed executive addresses a mannequin in similar attire.
Executive: What a smartly dressed young man. Come, let me buy you a drink. ... What, nothing to say? Please, I must have an answer! ... Ah, I like your style. Well then, I offer you a job!! ... Yes, I see you cannot refuse me.
Kneeling block-headed V.P. addresses executive standing beside mannequin.
V.P.: But sir! I hardly think a synthetic manneckinen makes for suitable managerial material.
Executive: My dear Vice President Grovelson! Can you not see that he is like a god among managers! Look at his profile—so respectful and yet so firm! And not once has he disagreed with one of my proposals. Speaking of which, all of you are fired.
Executive and mannequin stand at podium, addressing press conference attendees.
Journalist: And what of the charges that have been leveled at your collegue?
Executive: Please! My prótégé is one of the most upstanding individuals I know! Yes, it is true his small disabilities—such as paraplegia, deaf/mute-ness, and lack of sentience—make him totally unqualified for this post. But have we not yet learned to move past such petty descrimination?
Voice-over narration appears above a relief bust of the mannequin, followed by notes from admirers.
Narrator: And soon, without the overbearing presence of upper management, the company propsered, and everyone lived happily ever after.
Bust: Manny
Narrator: Once again, the world is safe from overmanagement.
Admirer 1: Thanks Manny! ♥ Your biggest fan! ♥ (call me!)
Admirer 2: My Hero! (And your real biggest fan)
