"Then there's Subway's Jared, an everyman thrust into celebrity via the ads themselves, which does not seem to count as true celebrity status."
Okay, so I'm watchin' football over the weekend, and, sure enough, there's Jared. But I noticed that Jared's standing behind a table with a bunch of stuff in front of his gut. No reason to do that unless, of course, Jared's gettin' sloppy.
I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Jared switched from the low fat turkey on wheat to a foot-long meatball with double cheese. I'd bet he's gettin' two choclate chip cookies's in the combo and he's not gettin' the diet drink; it's the 44 oz. Big Gulp. I'm bettin' that Jared's got a big flabby ass again, and that his days on TV are numbered.
He thinks he's gonna end up on that stupid hillbilly show, Dr. Bill or whatever. Dr. Bill doesn't want any big fat people waddlin' across his stage unless they're gonna cry or somethin'. Jared 'll be on the cover of the Weekly World News with an empty whisky bottle and his arm around Bat Boy first. I got five bucks; who wants a piece of this actions? Huh?
P.S. Jared's got a fat ass.

Celebs do ads for the bucks. They sacrifice their image for cash. The reason celebs aren't doing so many ads these days, is because advertisers are putting their money elsewhere.
As for a working celeb with high profile image... I nominate Tiger/Buick.

The can-you-hear-me-now guy is Verizon, and Mrs. Michael Douglas is T-Mobile.

Apple should do a Def Leppard iPod, so Rick Allen could show everybody how easy it is to use one-handed.
Ba-dum-bump!

If I ever meet that "can you hear me now" guy I'm going to kick him in the balls. Sure, those TV commercials are tedious and extremely irritating, but recently it got really personal. I ride the subway every day, and at my arrival station in the morning there WAS a print ad of a totally hot broad in a tight shirt and short shorts. Totally hot. Buuuut.. they took that ad down and put up that Verizon dork.
I swear to christ.. square..in..the..balls..

Geat stuff Jeff. But I wanted to see a pix of Heidi and all they had was a dumb ad for something else.
Seriously, this kind of stuff really helps make this website what it is.
BTW, any idea why I only get Reason Express approximately every other week?

Buy who's the bald guy in the Reason.com sidebar ads? When's his movie coming out? That's what enquiring minds really want to know...

The Japanese still seem to appreciate the living celebrity spokes-person.
