Now, I think the war on drugs is pretty... well, fucking retarded. But this makes me giggle.

From TSG:

Hey, dude, you're getting a cell! Benjamin Curtis, the 22-year old actor who portrays the Dell Guy in those bothersome computer commercials, was arrested late last night (2/9) on a marijuana possession charge, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to cops, Curtis was holding a "small bag of marijuana" when he was popped on Manhattan's Lower East Side (at Ludlow and Rivington for you Gothamites). Curtis is currently being held in Central Booking and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in Manhattan Criminal Court. Curtis, who lives in lower Manhattan, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor.


My guess is that Dell will kick him like a bad habit.

Come on guys ... we all knew, deep down, that the DellDude was blowing weed ... was there ever ANY question?

Steven had too much weed, the interns don't have enough.

The interns are obviously all on Adderall and Ritalin.

It's not working.

I think the blonde's smug, know-it-all demeanor takes away significantly from her overall attractiveness.

Of course, this IS a straight woman's perspective on the situation.

(Before anybody says anything here ... I will admit to the know-it-all demeanor, but I am NOT smug about it).

the nice thing about being a man is the ability to separate attractiveness from personality. (sexist? yes, but rest assured that im in for an asswhupping when my wife reads this)

Eh, she's just acting anyway. I'll assume, though, that she's half that annoying in real life.

As a fucktoy, I don't care about her personality. :)

Any type of meaningful relationship, however, would come to a screeching halt. Jenni sometimes gets a hint of smugness, and it's the one thing that makes me feel like strangling her. Luckily, this only happens about once every eight months.

Well, he's only been in that one commercial recently, so he was at the end of the line probably anyway.
dave • Feb 10, 2003 10:45 pm
They had more plans with him. Or so they said a few months ago. We'll see...

Perhaps a relative slipping a Dell notebook inside a cake...

I just heard on the (shortwave) radio that Dude will not feel the wrath of The Man for this "offense" if he stays clean for a year.

I'm kinda envisioning DellDude trying to use a Dell Laptop to either fend off his new special friend Bubba or to use to bribe him to keep him from bending him over a cot.
SteveDallas • Feb 10, 2003 11:15 pm
oh THOSE interns... hmm.. reminds me of the kind of thing that would've been on yahotties.com.

Someone on Fark made this comment today:

"Doesn't he know marijuana is a Gateway drug?"

I was LMFAO 'til Sunday over that one.

Just had to share :D
