    In reply to George Clooney Would Be Dead Right Now…
    Aw, man, what if John Malkovich really was an Archangel? That would be weird.

    I was watching Man in the Iron Mask last night (shut up, it was on TV and I was cooking) and Malkovich seemed to be in a very different movie than some of the actors. Leo DiCaprio, too, Also, Peter Saarsgard was there. And then Hugh Laurie walked through. What a weird, not very good movie that was. And the most confusing melange of accents I've seen in a while. #georgeclooneynespressocommerca...

    A horrifying indictment of the criminally negligent piano-moving industry, the failures of which have plagued this great nation for TOO LONG! #georgeclooneynespressocommerca...

    @Dodgergirl: You have to let the free market take its course. You can't regulate piano moving. What is this, the socialist republic of Pianofortestan? Before you know it, the government will be telling you when you can move your piano and how you can move your piano and then they'll make your piano go before a piano death panel because it's out of tune and has Down Syndrome. Is that what you want? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

    Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure John Malkovich is actually the one who guards the Pearly Gates. And then once you get in there, Morgan Freeman is waiting for you.

    That's my religion and I'm sticking to it. #georgeclooneynespressocommerca...

    People always claim that advertising trick x doesn't affect them, and they are pretty much always wrong. I expect to continue to see celebrity spokesmodels.

    I pretty much feel about this as I do about popular actors constantly being used for animated features.
    Yes, as an actor you are probably atypically attractive. And, yes, as an actor you can probably emote vocally better than most people.
    BUT, there are models and voice actors who are one million times better than you at their respective jobs.
    Let them do their jobs; you do yours.

    Seeing as the amount of photoshop used in celeb ads renders said celebs unrecognizable, I'm not surprised.

    My buying preferences have totally been celebrity affected, if Jessica Simpson shills it, I refuse to buy it (seriously, I wanted Proactive but I would never buy it as long as she's a representative) I don't want some marketing team thinking she had anything to do with any sort of sale.

    @hortense: It is very Barbie.
    I think using celebrities can actually backfire - I have no feelings whatsoever about an unknown model, but am more likely to have feelings (one was or the other) towards various celebs who are consistently in the public eye.
    For instance, I have a SEVERE case of Irrational Celebrity Hatred regarding ScarJo. Hence, I now shit on L'Oreal.

    Someone SAYING something doesn't make it true. Sales numbers would be a better indicator of whether or not celebrity endorsements are successful than self reporting.

    @LaComtesse: I was just about to post the same thing. People always think they're rational purchasers. Scientific evidence says we're nothing even close to rational, easily swayed by the smallest things. Corporations, whose only goal is to make money, and they have the resources to research exactly the most efficient way to do it, wouldn't spend money on celebrity endorsements if they didn't make financial sense. Sorry, 78% of people interviewed, you're deluding yourselves :)

    I prefer celebrities who are famous BECAUSE they are hawking stuff. Billy Mays, you will be missed. Vince, you're a total dick but I have to watch that video at least once a week. You've almost got me sold on the SlapChop.
