just commented over at the reader, and then watched the commercial over at beachwood, but the thing is ... i had only seen the last *second* of the commercial a day or so ago. and even then i was like ...oh, that's weird and gross. spade shouldn't be doing that.
but now seeing the WHOLE commercial? super creepy. like giving me the chills creepy. i didn't see the whole thing before. oh, david spade, you fucker.
Totally agree. It's always such a disappointment when stars sell out like that. I always thought that they were good friends too.
Yep...David Spade = fucker.
I understand everyone getting pissed at Spade, but I find it even more unbelievable that Farley's family would sign off on allowing his likeness to be used. No winners anywhere on this one.
