The candy company had created a short animation depicting one of the anthropomorphic M&M’s playing a guitar while wearing a white cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and underpants on the electronic animation display outside the company’s store in Times Square. This is close to where the Naked Cowboy Performs, so he obviously noticed it.
