I need a new blogpost to stay on track with the good blogging guidelines from my friend Christine over at A Mommy Story.
I want to write a little bit about SATC but fear I would spoil it for some soul and don’t want to take the chance. The huge atomic blast at the end was very unexpected and who would have thought Samantha’s character would even pass the psych screenings for the sex change. Oh crap, see, I can’t keep my mouth shut.
So instead, I’m going to do another giveaway. Perky, if you are reading, your gas card is finally on it’s way to you! I hope you didn’t leave for vacation yet. Perky was my first celebrity giveaway winner. Perky, take a bow and check your mailbox!
In honor of the shit-storm caused by Dunkin’ Donut’s latest Rachel Ray TERRORIST CELL LEADER RACHEL RAY commercial, I’m giving a $20 gift certificate to Dunkin’ Donuts to one lucky winner.
I thought maybe this didn’t go well with the idea of protesting against the stupidity that lives and breathes amongst us, but hell, everyone likes donuts and Dunkin’ is a national chain so all my readers (that long list of people with insomnia and friends I badger until they read my blog) can probably use it near them. The one condition is you have to wear your most non-terroristish scarf when you go use your gift certificate, deal? We all must do our part for national security.
To enter, simply leave a comment (it’s so easy to do, I leave over a hundred a day sprinkled all over the internet – some of them even get me censored in Houston) and tell me your favorite celebrity endorsement of all time – because telling me your favorite terrorist of all time just seemed to be in poor taste.
Contest ends at midnight on Monday, June 2nd. So enter early and enter often. Or just once, whichever. Good luck and happy accessorizing.
Bonus – if I get over TWENTY responses, I’ll give away TWO gift certificates! That’s right I WILL DOUBLE THE WINNERS!
(Two is my limit, my connection (thanks Gurmit!) can’t score me anymore.)

HI-larious.
BTW, Rachel Ray + scarf DOES = terrorist. That’s awesome.

I will be sure to wear mine through airport security next month! The same airport security that 1) made my then 7-month-old remove her Robeez when going through the line (I’m not making that up) AND 2) neglected to find the POCKET KNIFE I had in my carry-on!
Before the FBI gets all up in my business, it was a freebie pocket knife I’d gotten somewhere, tossed in the bag and forgot about. If I was a real terrorist, you’d know because I’d be WEARING A SCARF. Duh.

I like Peter Frampton for Gieco…especially when he says, “I wanted to pull my hair out”…
If you remember back when he had hair, it’s funny.

OJ Simpson’s Hertz rentacar ads. For when you want to make a quick get away.

My favorite celebrity endorsement? Hmmmm, how about Tyler Florence fr Applebee’s? It’s the only one I can think of right now!

Stories like that give me a headache. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Dunkin Donuts here. Bummer, right? But my sister does, so can I enter for her? If so…my favorite celebrity endorsement would have to be the razor commercials with Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Thierry Henry. Mmmmm….
And you really must tell us what got you censored…I’m too tired to figure it out on my own.

Don’t enter me-no DD around. But RR a terrorist? Only if you find her really annoying, and then the only terror would be making one watch…
So I guess no one is allowed to travel and get something really beautiful from another culture and incorporate it into out own outfits any more? Bummer, because I was really looking forward to a fez, or a kilt, or a burka, or…? Come On!

I couldn’t think of anything but man I want some donuts! So I asked my husband what was his favorite celebrity endorsement and he immediately said “Bob Dole for Viagra” LOL.

I got so excited about RR I forgot to tell my fave celebrity endorsement: Bruce Campbell for Old Spice. Love it!

Thanks for offering this giveaway. I think the Joan Rivers commercial for Geico where she makes fun of all her botox is very funny “Am I smiling? I can’t feel my face”.
The notion that some people think there is a special “terrorist” scarf makes my head spin!

I am new to your blog, but it is great. I like reading your reewivs and giveaways are an added bonus.
Thanks for all of your hard work. I do happen to have a Dunkin Donuts near my father so when I visit I can stop there. Chellenewmommiez at gmail dot com

Dick Cheney for Match.com…or did I dream that. Crap, I really wanted the donuts.
Now that I’ve seen the scarf, I realize my mother must have been a terrorist. That explains all of the “eat your asparagus or else” threats I guess.

So many great celebrity endorsements, so little space in your effed up comments box.
Pamela Anderson for PETA? No
Paris for Carl’s Jr? Naw…
Will I get extra bonus entries if I say Tom Hanks’ endorsement of Obama? It’s all political n shizz, and you like politics!

No DD here, just saying hi. And, I love that William Shatner does a local lawyer’s ad in my hometown. Cracks me up!

Funny post, and I think I have at least three terrorist scarves in my closet.

Hmm…I don’t know!!!! Someone already said MJ for Hanes, but I love his Gatorade commercials (If I could be like Mike).

I can’t believe that this all started at Fox News. Who knew?
I just found your blog on All Mediocre and I am loving it. It’s comforting to know that there’s someone out there who has the exact same thoughts I do (though you somehow make them funnier).
Favorite endorsement: David Beckham for Giorgio Armani underwear. As my favorite terrorist Rachael Ray would say, “yum-mo.”

Hey, I am an Aqua Velva guy and so is the Hit King..Pete Rose
Not sure is Pete was ever accused of being a terrorist but I am sure he was accused of having a bad head of lettuce. (hair)

You guys are great! Donuts for everyone!
Just kidding – donuts for two of you!

Great! Giving away donuts when I’m on a diet. Oh well, the office would scarf down $20 worth of donuts in 20 seconds flat.
Endorsement: Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy & Private Practice). Love her ad where she says, “When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?” I want to drive up to Dunkin’ Donuts in that car.

So many good ones have already been mentioned — Joan Rivers was going to be my first mention. However, I’ll go with Jennifer Love Hewitt for Neutrogena. Or I could go timely with Sarah Jessica Parker for criminey I can’t remember the hair color company — Clairol? I guess I’ll have to stick with Jennifer Love Hewitt!
by the by, just turned on to AllMediocre, and I love the concept!

Hmmm. this should be an easy one for me because I work in marketing… but I can’t think of favorites. The ones that annoyed me the most would have to be poor dead Fred Astaire dancing with the vacuum cleaner or James Dean for the Gap… they just did not deserve to be pimped out by his heirs like that..
If I won that $20 I would seriously be your bestest friend, for life.

Found you through AllMediocre and since you cracked me up, I’ll be back again.
For the contest, I’d have to say Peyton Manning for…… everything. He’s in so many commercials, but I love them all. If I had to choose a favorite I guess I’d choose Gatorade, the one where he is in the rain because he looks HOT!! I’ll try my best to find an outfit that doesn’t scream terrorist. It will be hard, but I’ll do it for the good of my country!
If you can figure out a way to not spoil SATC for everyone, head over to my blog on June 3rd to participate in my Movie Madness carnival. I’m actually doing a giveaway for it right now.

Tiger Woods for Buick. The ads always play during the FBR tourney in Phoenix. And Tiger refuses to play in that tournament. I think he got booed one year and now he is insecure or something. Still a good pitch man. And the print ads he did with his wife and baby are adorable.

Got one! Michael Jackson and Britney Spears for Pepsi. Train wrecks… you can’t stop looking!

I’ve got 3: (1) the woman who plays a psychiatrist (Dr. Marlena whatever–Deidre Hall) on Days of Lives trying to sell medication. Anyone who believes she is a doctor in real life gets a free sample of Prozac. (2) Gary Coleman for one of those money lending services. How broke is he?? (3) Jamie Lee Curtiss in those Activa commericals. Wasn’t she, like, the pinnacle of fitness in the 80s and now she hocking yogurt that makes you poop? Priceless.

I think there’s a fair bit of irony that I entered for a giveaway (at AM) by selecting a post of yours about a giveaway as my favorite. Then again, maybe that’s just Alanis Morrisette-style irony, I don’t know.
But that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Loved this!
