While watching my favorite channel (Discovery's "The Science Channel"), I caught a show about a crew being tasked with reproducing an ancient siege tower. One of the carpenters was wearing the Workman's UtiliKilt. The camera work for the show didn't treat him any differently, except for one point during their introductions. They did a quick close-up of his kilt from various angles, and quickly mentioned it was the latest thing to wear for carpenters (they never said the brand name).
A few weeks before that, I was watching the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour". (For those outside the US, just Google the phrase to learn what that is.) The guys went into a pottery shop to cut up, be comedians, and intimidate the earthenware. The proprietor of the shop was wearing a post-modern kilt (not sure if it was an UK, AK, PK, FK, etc.). There was never any mention made of it, the camera work never showcased the kilt, and the comedians never pointed it out -- which really surprised me.
I was really glad to see a kilt in the media, and see it treated as if it were a pair of pants.
