How Could You, Hootie?
So, this commercial has been bothering me for a few days now, and I wasn't going to comment on it since I'm sure someone else has (yes, in fact, many someones have addressed this evil ad). But just now, I snapped.
It's just WRONG. Cheese bricked streets? Carmen Electra on a swing in her Daisy Dukes? Darius Rucker in a bolo? What is the world coming to?!? Well, maybe this is all normal stuff. Having never invested more energy into the Blowfish universe than whatever I'd happen to hear on the radio (and the use of the word "Hootie" as a code when we'd call Susan Hines at Turtles [or whatever corporation that took over Turtles around 1995]) I can only assume that this is not a Hootie-type message: pay me enough and I will sing country-western jingles in a purple shirt and white cowboy hat.
*shudder*

There's really only one part of the commercial that disturbs me. The two girls dancing with the buckets of goo that slop all over. I don't know why.
The rest of it I watch with the same kind of fascination I had when I was a little kid and discovered how to burn things with a magnifying glass.
Oh, and just so we all have our talentless tv eyecandy straight, that isn't Carmen Electra in the commercial. Nope. Those daisy dukes belong to Brooke Burke.

"talentless tv eyecandy"
Heeeeee!
Thanks, BrYan. Should've known! And your nickname for her is far better than others I've heard. ;)
Tooooo funny!

You're welcome. Any time you need someone to help label the vacuous for you, just let me know. :-)

Hey now...little defensive about calling Carmen "talentless eye candy" cuz she's from the same part of Ohio as me. Terri Jo (her real name) used to shake her moneymaker and belt out songs at the local amusement park now owned by Paramount as a teenager.
Also, anytime you wanna hear some more Hootie, I got the first 2 cds. Darius is a Dolphins fan

OMG! I've been thinking the same thing since I first spotted Hootie's face flying by as I was TiVoing through the commercials. I had to go back and look at it like 6 times, thinking to myself, "Surely that is not him. He can't be that hard up for work. He had to have saved at least a little money." But alas, it is, he is and he did not.

We both also thought the same thing. Actually, what I thought was, "Poor Hootie. How the mighty have fallen. I hope for his sake he's getting a whopper of a paycheck (no pun intended)."
Glad to know it's not just us.
Btw, there's a web site for the chicken that's in the commercial. it's kinda fun. http://www.subserviantchicken.com/
