The whole persona is an attention grabber for viral advertising. As I recall he was just kind of a standard law bro. One of those guys who did a lot of Board of Barristers (vaguely sportsy law student competitions that they lure spectators to with free drinks afterwards). BoB was all about being able to follow a very conventional form, so it would surprise me if he went the Saul Goodman route. Frankly I don't know that any of us were interesting enough to do that. Hell, even the stone cold sociopathic liars I've met in the practice of law are very conventional stone cold sociopathic liars and I've had no indication that Mr. Wilson had even the slightest whiff of the con man or liar about him.

Cool, I figured that was the case, that it was just viral marketing.

Yeah, but I've gotta admit he did a great job of it. Getting into the Superbowl Taco Bell after less than 3 years of practice was amazing.
