Too bad he won't be serving any real time. Hopefully this means we won't be seeing him on any commercials anymore.

NEVER in public,............... NEVER!,...... dumb-ass

That's fab! Not that I would want to wish jail on anyone, but those ads were sh**e. And to think that Dell thought they could just bring them over to the UK and we wouldn't HATE his cheesy football-idiot grin!

 

[Matrixhasu77]

somehow I doubt there is any factual evidence in that. unless it came from a site like cnn.com or msnbc.com i'm inclined not to believe it. It's funny though.

 

[Acid X]

Thats pretty funny.

This guy was awesome! Too bad he got busted with the pot

Atleast they have those Intern Commercials.(Which i think are very amusing )

 

[Acid X]

Anybody think this will hurt the sales of Dell, or boost them?

Thanks Punk! I'd been searching for another source, but was unable to find one.

"Curtis, 22, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor that carries a prison sentence of up to three months if he is convicted, a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office said."

Does the sentence fit the crime?

I don't think it will hurt them, but if it does it probably won't hurt them very much at all.

Well, if the whole "Dude you're getting a Dell" thing was helping increase their sales... then I'd say this is going to hurt their sales seeing as how they probably won't want him representing their company anytime soon.

That is sick and pathetic. That'll get rid of drugs.

It might if he wants a job

 

[Acid X]

Maybe so.

 

[rjensen11]

Good, teach him as well as the other potheads a lesson!

 

[milefile]

Heh. Yeah. We all know that works.

I hated the ads until now - he's an New York University drama student. Sounds like a stand-up guy.

No no no... he's a criminal!

Fair point - all who do drugs are criminal pigs that should be shot!

Interesting though that he was arrested for buying such a small bag - this extremely minor offense'll probably end his career.

I'm just glad they caught him... he was probably on his way to rape some twelve year old boy and kill his own mother.

Yes, and much better than you've written it.

 

[Pupik]

Everyone has a purpose. Mine is making sure the unwritten jokes are better than the written ones.

 

[Matrixhasu77]

Now that I've seen the story on TechTV later in the day, I believe it. Good ridence.. One less annoying ad on tv now. Except for those Dell interns. Now we have to put up with them.
