So does this mean he won’t be in any more commericals? Please let it be so. Ironic since I think pot should be legal, but that kid annoys me so much that I’m willing to suspend that sentiment for now. ---

Dell had been phasing him out of their commercials lately (past few months) anyways. But c’mon, if this was a ‘dime’-bag buy (not unlike David Lee Roth in Washington Square Park about 10 years ago) the “criminal” posession charge was way out of proportion. I imagine it was trumped up as a this-will-get-me-a-promotion once the cop recognized him. I’d have rather plead not-guilty to both charges then at worst pled guilty to one violation (less than a misdemeanor) and paid the $50 fine than the ‘be good for a year and we’ll forget this happened’ deal he got from the judge. ---
