I’ve spent way too much time thinking about this post…Richie is truly a legend, the commercials probably affect how I view him.

Read this sentence again.

We don’t begrudge anyone their moment in the commercial sun. Like everything it’s a question of execution.

It’s not that he “sold out”, that concept died years ago. It’s that the commercials themselves are so bad.

Apparently taking on revenue to pay for servers is against the rules now, I had no idea someone had to run themselves into the ground to be “authentic.” Thank you all for clarifying,

Yours always,

I think that It’s a bit strange to attribute some ‘connection’ between Wilson and Tenenbaum…intimating that Wilson has tarnished the name and image of Tenenbaum by ‘selling out’ to AT&T…what? And it’s patently ludicrous to praise Wilson for his performance as Tenenbaum in a movie, which he was paid for…then in the same breath criticize him for getting paid to portray HIMSELF in an ad for AT&T. He’s an actor…who would not have played the part of Tenenbaum for FREE…does THAT make him a sell-out?

I think this takes the cake for the worst ACL post ever.

From the mind to the mouth.
Glad to see someone throw this out officially.
Been entertaining an audience of one (the wife) on this very topic since the spots dropped.
Mr. Wilson has been given his fair share of attention on this thread therefore,
I’ll start the pity party for AT&T and more specifically the marcom team who imagined Mr. Wilson to be an architype for the brand.
Oh the poor things. Like a wet kitten you just HAVE to feel sorry for.

I had a lot riding on that match. Personally and financially.
