commercial i just saw

[davideo]

although it should be fairly obvious to even the casual observer that the recent commercial featuring the General Motors CEO (?) and Snoop Dogg playing golf and talking cars is pretty much the bottom of the cultural barrel, it somehow only makes me like Snoop even more. Yes: clearly he's "sold out," but clearly he's so far beyond caring about

If Saint Hicks were still alive today he'd probably be whoring himself too.
Bob Dylan did a Victoria's Secret commercial last year--does that mean he's forever off the list? John Cleese has done lots of commercials--is he consigned to artistic oblivion too? Hicks liked speaking in absolutes, which can be refreshing but ends up being dogmatic. I wonder what Snoop will say to Hicks when they meet up in heaven.

Hicks qualified that remark: he said it goes for everyone except willie nelson. so not quite an absolute. besides: IT WAS A JOKE! I'm sure Cleese laughed when he heard it, and nodded sagely about Leno.

snoop dogg is way too baked to care. and i can't fault him for that. oh no, not me, no sir.

i agree that commercials can be "high" art. bill hicks was right to be wary about them, but you gotta admit, some of them are some pretty fucked up shit to watch when yr. hella stoned.
