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. Bonnie Shumofsky, the actor's agent, said she was unaware of her client's bust when contacted this morning by TSG. (1 page)
Did it ever occur to any of them that some people are opposed to federal involvement in substances on constitutional grounds? Or because they see that the WOD is an abject failure? Or because they don't want to spend tax money on prosecuting people for activities which do not violate rights?
Or they just want to do dope themselves?
I like it. It's a twist on Pete Townshend's plea that he was downloading child porn from the Internet to know how better to combat it.
Whatever their other aims may be, they come across as dope being at the top of their list, and that anything else is just cover for that.
Oh, when one avoids a question it usually means they are afraid of how the answer will be perceived.
What I am lampooning is your no-so-hidden agenda in asking the question.
I have no hidden agenda. I am in favor of rights, in all cases and on all subjects.
Let's get to the point: your question doesn't help you one little bit in your obsession to get dope legalized.
I'm not obsessed on the drug issue at all. I hate dope. I hate tyranny. The WOD doesn't work and it's unconstitutional and it's just one subject where government oversteps it's bounds in it's quest for power.
Oh, I don't know. It looks like the Dell Guy has taken a bullet in the bong.
Maybe it just seems that way to folks in Wyoming. Maybe they should give some thought to the points I raised about why people feel as they do about government involvement in the issue. There were quite a few of them. You didn't address any of them, I hope the people of Wyoming do.
And that made the WOD a sucess?
Now there's the Tom Jefferson we all know and love......
See #241
Well, that does it, they arrested the last guy who will seek and find ilict drugs. No more drug usage and no more need for the WOD, it is a success! LOL
Wow, I'll bet the pro-prohibition people are happy to have you as a resource. LOL
The difference between you and I is, I was kidding. Maybe you can start a campaign to make the death penalty mandatory for dopers. Another source of pride for the WODers.
Comes with an expansion port?
