Spokespeople are dropping like flies these days- role models are so unreliable!
Michael Phelps dumped by Wheaties. Hey there Kellogg's, don't you know stoners need food, too? Wake up Kellogg's, your corn flakes are the quintessential net result, or perfect answer, to the symbiotic relationship between stoners and the dreaded munchies! Why fight it, embrace (inhale, if you must- "puff puff pass the pipe") it! If you wanted any more proof how good your cereal is, why not leverage the image of a stoner who is damn fast! Sure, Nancy Reagan may not like the message, but who ever knew of a stoner who could find their way off of a couch in less than a minute, better yet break world swimming records? You just know Gatorade is itching for publicity like this!
Maybe Kellogg's could fill that spot on their sponsorship roster with A-Rod. Yes, jumping on the A-rod bandwagon becomes cliche, especially since Madonna has already been there, and Torre is dishing on him, but "Wheaties" could spin the negative publicity into a new recipe for success, "Wheaties, part of a complete champions breakfast regiment- steroids, marijuana and attorney's fees not included!"
Although the lyrics claim that the flavor of gum is to last "Forever", the relationship between Chris Brown and Wrigley's went stale as quickly as a piece of gum spit out onto the side of the road after a domestic dispute. WTF?! Beating and biting on Rihanna, really? Talk about Disturbia! Fleeing the scene on foot and taking the car keys, leaving Rihanna stuck on the side of the road- classy; where did Chris Brown learn those moves? Apparently the option to shut up and drive wasn't viable.
How to avoid the disappointment of spokesperson who fail us- don't get your hopes up to begin with!
Or, even easier, leave spokemodeling up to the professionals, actors and models (A&M); they won't let you down. No one's shocked by Kate Moss doing coke or Alec Baldwin going off on his daughter- erratic behavior by A&M are part of their intrigue. And, when they do go crazy, get busted or get caught in less than flattering circumstances it's usually going to end up being a publicity win-win for the product and the star, not a blemish! Paris going to jail sells more than Barkley getting busted for DUI anyday.

A-rod is such a tool. Seriously. I watched his interview on sportscenter last night. 5 years ago isn't "back then". Ugh.
Did you watch this last SNL? Weekend update did a "Really?" segment about kellogs dropping Phelps. It was pretty funny.
SM- Not an A-rod fan...but appreciate he admits what he did and that it was wrong. Missed SNL but am looking for it on Hulu.
This post is cracking me up like crazy. You sure have a way with celebrity current events that makes them interesting even when I am not normally very interested in them.
Tori- I'll take that as a thank you! hope you are doing well!
A-Rod sure does mince his words. He twists and turns as if you were eating spaghetti with a fork. He slays me.
All of this baseball stuff is making Jose Canseco look wiser and wiser. The guy came out and said they're all doing it and it seems he wasn't really making it up.
