You, the advertising spokesman.

[Rain Man]

Hypothetical: you're sitting on a park bench eating an ice cream sandwich when you're approached by a middle-aged woman with a strutting, swaying walk, Chanel suit, and large collagen lips.

"Dahling," she says, "you have zee look! You have zee look zat I am looking for!" She hands you a card. Her name is Roxanne Von Zeebera, and her job title is Talent Scout. "I weel pay you $5,000 to make a commercial foor my client. You weel play yourself unt provide a testimonial. Are joo interested?"

"Who is your client?" you ask.

"My client ees __________"


What are three companies where you would most like to provide your testimonial in a TV ad, where you would say yes without hesitation?

What are three companies where you would absolutely NOT provide a testimonial?

I would not advertise any product that would have me as it's spokesperson.

[Rain Man]

Among national brands, I'd provide a testimonial for:


Dr. Pepper
BMW
Jhane Barnes (clothing)


I'm not sure at the moment of any companies that I would refuse to represent. I think my occasional business travails have been more with local/regional companies than national companies.

[alnorth]

Coca-cola

The Red Cross and/or the local blood bank

Aaron's stores (its a chain of lease to own stores, got all my cheap furniture there, and it also helps that the store thoughtfully uses my name)

[Fire Me Boy!]

I'm more intrigued by this lady's obvious multi-cultural heritage.

First, she's obviously German by her accent. But sometimes, it slips.

"You weel play yourself unt provide a testimonial." A German woman of her ilk would have said "veel," since the w's are pronounced "v".

And then, out of left field comes the Cuban... who knew? "Are joo interested?"

[DaKCMan AP]

$hit Rainman. I'd do anything but female or health care products.

You want me to sell crap for Wal-Mart. Bring it.
You want me to do one of the BS Chevy Confidence ads. I got you covered, I own part of the company anyway.

But I draw the line when you want me to promote ED medicine, be in some tampon ad.

I gotta agree with Hoover but I wouldn't let feminine hygiene products deter me.

[Coach]

One thing will come to my mind.... I have 2 options. I can stay and pay the price for the money, or I can get the hell out.

[Fire Me Boy!]

I'm a sell-out. Give me $5,000 and I'll say whatever you want me to say.
