WIBCI Post #86

WIBCI ‘Stars’ of the big and little screens weren’t such sellouts?

Per The Urban Dictionary: In the words of zefrank, a sellout “doesn’t have to do with actually having money, it has to do with the perception that your pursuit of popularity and potentially making money has caused you to sacrifice your core values.”

Why is it that I’m seeing more and more successful actors hawking the wares of online streaming services, internet providers, and games?

Are they starving for attention or do they need the money? Because, if people who have been in movies find it fiscally necessary to make embarrassing ads that damage their reputations as artists, what position do they think the average American finds themselves?

When ‘Actors’ have jumped the shark:

  • If you say the phrase ‘no ads’ in an ad
  • If you are singing and/or dancing in an ad
  • You won an Academy Award
  • If your presence in an ad causes an eeesh reaction in its viewers and conjures up concern for how you have invested

WIBCI those who have made millions found it irresponsible to promote things that waste the time and money of lay people worse off than themselves?
