Corporate America usually steers clear of controversial pitch people, but pistachio grower Paramount Farms is plowing a different path.

The unit of Roll International Corp. has signed Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor who was convicted of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, the MTV star who recently made headlines after being charged with disorderly conduct, to appear in its new $20 million ad campaign that begins Monday.

Nuts!

[GeronL]

I hope they go out of business making people throw up like that.

[Impy]

Pretty weird. They make the perfect couple though.

The fact that corporations are using Snooki as part of a $20 million ad campaign speaks volumes about the state of this nation.

Am I the only one who avoids such businesses? Surely this cannot generate much in sales.

Why are you picking on Snooki, Blago is the crook.

[jiggyboy]

They’re already running some of these ads in Silicon Valley, I forget which programs or channels.

no nuts just ta tas

[ConservativeStatement]

There are plenty of commercials that are offensive, many anti-male. I find myself watching TV less as each week passes.

[Osage Orange]

Is this someone in a costume?

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, the MTV star who recently made headlines after being charged with disorderly conduct.....

Strange. Unless you actually watch MTV, you never would have heard of Snooki untill she “made headlines after being charged with disorderly conduct”.

How is it even possible to be famous just for being charged with disorderly conduct?

Also. While I’m chatting about trivial BS.... did anyone else see Snookie Halloween costumes this year?

Bizarre world we live in these days.

[I cannot think of a name]

Just what we need on TV - two giant boobs!

Oh yea, and the guy with funny hair also.

For the South Park audience:

[mmercier]

Pistachios and cheezeballs have the same properties that generate addictive behaviour patterns in individuals as another manifestation that shall never be uttered in this nonsensical fiasco...

Cocaine.

[Southern Partisan]

Already seen “Gunny” R. Lee Ermey doing an ad. Pretty funny.

[Maverick68]

A slightly more skanky version of Christina Agulereiareaaa (spelling?)...

[Osage Orange]

I doubt it....but I'm not certain.

They’ve tried to say it’s a small, small world. How can it be small when there’s so much room for weirdness?
