| - For Rodriguez, the next five years would be difficult. Before the event, he was considered one of the most promising young minds in his field, and was lined up for an impressive position with military technology developing firm. Afterwards he could barely make it through a day without succumbing to a panic attack and, on bad days, couldn’t dress himself. But after years of counseling, he finally decided to use his terrifying experience to ensure it never happened again. Thus was born, Zaltzman Brand Pants, a semi-not-for-profit company that donates 98 per cent of its profits to public service projects advising everyone to wear underpants in public. Andy agreed to pose for a series of advertisements for the program, as part of the court ordered community service in penance for the incident that spawned the whole ordeal, asking only for a tiger-striped suit so he could match his daughter. The Zaltzman Brand Pants Inc. has subsequently folded due to the credit crunch and using Andy as their principal modal, but the message remains present in the public consciousness in western parts of Estonia and a large section of North Dakota.
