This isn't working. If it did it would be an ok solution. However i'd prefer
not to have to say that so i added a experimental line to 
Maypole::Model::Base's process function right after getting the class and $r. 

# make a dumb class obj to call methods with in templates.
$r->{template_args}{dumb_obj} = bless {},  $class;
#

Well when , i print [%dumb_obj%] in the template i get "MyApp::Customer" which
is the class i want but working on but calling 
calling a method with it doesn't work. Any ideas, please :) ?

My real maypole question here is Why not have a dumb object by default? 

The other why the hell doesn't what Simon said work for me. I think there's a
plugin i may need.  Let me go look for it.
