What is it about this guy that elicits such as a negative reaction? A lot of commercials are annoying, and I’d say his are a lot less annoying than some; he’s got one lousy line, for Pete’s sake. I’ve never heard a single positive comment about the guy. Same with Britney Spears. ---

Same with Britney Spears. \*\* He was busted for buying some herb in NYC. I’m pissed at the cops and DA - and sorry I can’t think of anything positive to say. Banish him, banish me, banish Britney Spears to Uncle **Coldfire** ’s abode in the Netherlands. We’ll work on something positive. ---

I can’t believe no one has pointed out that he was wearing a _ **KILT** _ when he busted. His full garb was as follows. Tuxedo jacket, blue and red kilt, black shoes, & beige knee socks. Maybe he should have been busted for prostitution. 😛 ---

OK, a dude who goes out to score some grass in that get-up has got some nerve. I can respect that. Unless he had already scored some and simply _forgot_ he just did… 🙂 ---

They’re goofy commercials and the dude is a slacker. Big deal. Maybe next they’ll get that menace Carrot Top off the streets. ---

Personally, I think Dell’s current “intern” commercials are far worse than any of the “Dell dude” commercials. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Corbomite \* > \*\* > 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. \*\* Umm…I suppose they charged him will “criminal” possession because (for some stupid reason) possessing marijuana is a crime. And he plead guilty because he was demonstrativly guilty and would have been convicted. No, in fact, being charged with a misdemenor and pleading out to a (sentenceless) violation is pretty much SOP for the poor fools who get rounded up in NYPD street sweeps (well that’s what they did to me 🙂 ) (Damn. I never wanted to have that much in common with the Dell guy. He also goes to my alma mater.) ---

Don’t hold it against “Steven” that the commercials got so silly! Blame the writers. Now **John Tesh** on the other hand, he has no one to blame but himself. ---

I found him briefly humorous, but that temporary error in judgment was rectified when I found out he filmed some of those commercials during a SAG strike. Stupid stoner scab. ---

I can see a theme here that sorta ties into the **Dr. Strangelove** thread: I can just see a casting director saying, “Don’t get me some actor trying to act like a stoner. Get me a REAL stoner!” ---

Somebody tried that with **my** cup, I’d threaten to break his fingers. I don’t **care** that Pac Bell is changing their name, that cup has been with me for years and has sentimental value and might even become a collectors item now that Pac Bell doesn’t use that name any more!
