Levi Johnson: Let "Wonderful Pistachio's" Know How You Feel About Using Him.

So I'm watching the football game and I see this ad come on for "Wonderful Pistachios". Levi Johnson comes on camera with a big bodyguard. The announcer says something to the effect of "Levi Johnson does it with protection now".

So I emailed "Wonderful Pistachios" this:

Just to let you know I'm never going to buy any Wonderful Pistachios ever again. The day that you use a bottom feeder like Levi Johnston in an ad for your product is the day that I decide your company is not worth supporting with my patronage. You've alienated at least half of America by employing a person who has already proven that he'd sell his soul for publicity.
Oh, I'm also making it my mission to Facebook, Twitter, Email, and personally tell every single person I know (and people I don't) know and am urging them not to purchase your product.

Nice move...

Here's the address:

Wonderful Pistachios
11444 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 310
Los Angeles, CA 90064

Here's the email:

Get cracking and let them know you feel....

I haven't seen the commercial. OTOH, I haven't see much football this year either LOL.

They also have an ad with a dominatrix, and she hits the pistachio with a whip to open it. They’re not shooting for high class, I don’t think. But it’s good to let them know about Levi anyway. That jerk.

[ReneeLynn]

I’ve never bought their stuff anyway. This is beyond tacky.

Here is the video.

The marketing department and management must have room a temperature IQ, which is on loan, from the second hand store.

I wasn’t aware you could use pistachios for a condom.

Well, I learned something new today.

[Elkiejg]

Thanks for the mail/email info. I couldn’t believe the ad when I first saw it. What a piece of trash - Levi and the company!! Yes, I emailed them.

[chris37]

Listen, thanks for that info. I haven’t seen this commercial, but there is no chance in Hell I will purchase this product as a result of their use of this skid mark as a spokesman.

[VastRWCon]

I got craken too:

WTF is wrong with your company? Using a low life like Levi Johnston to pimp your nuts? Thanks, but no thanks, I will never buy your product(s) again, and will tell everyone I know not to buy because your company is just nuts and foolish for even thinking about using this low life scumbag.

Prior wonderful pistachio lover,

These people have ruined me on pistachios. I will buy marshmallows. They remond me more of Levi’s brain and my desire for his, um, private parts.

"They also have an ad with a dominatrix, and she hits the pistachio with a whip to open it. They’re not shooting for high class, I don’t think. But it’s good to let them know about Levi anyway. That jerk. "

Then here's the line:

Dear Sir/Madam;

If you pick the NUTS for your product like you pick the NUTS who do your commercials, then you're NUTS if you think I'm going to buy your NUTS.

Levi Johnson is - in my opinion - scum, and NUTS of a feather, "get crackin'" together.

Enjoy your sales slowdown.

Signed.

Maybe they sould hire Carrie Prejean.

Seeing as how we have tens of thousands of brave men and women putting themselves in harm’s way around the world in an effort keep the scum of the earth from rearing their ugly heads, the least I can do is send a simple e-mail.

I happened to be watching the 1st Season of MadMen on DVD this weekend. In one of the episodes, they discuss the VW "Lemon" ad from 1959. They point out, that no matter how poorly an ad is perceived, as long as it generates buzz, the ad men are happy as the ad has accomplished it's intended mission - get the people talking about the product. Until this particular ad aired during "The Mentalist" on Thursday night, I had never heard of "Wonderful Pistachios".

Levi shilling for Wonderful Pistachios, just like a Lemon in describing your car, generates buzz. I'm guessing that the pistachio company would LOVE a loud and energized boycott of it's product. It would be worth far more in sales than a boycott could ever dream of costing them.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Levi has the brain of a pistachio.

[ASOC]

THank you - I did, thanks for the link.

Good afternoon,

I rarely write advertisers about their broadcast efforts – the US does foster free speech and all.

But I must say that two of your recent advertisements stuck me as patently offensive.

The bit with the sexual deviant (whip cracking good, eh?) and the one with L Johnston, recently of Alaska.

I must say, these do not speak well for your product; you might want to consider changing agencies for your next campaign.

You have most certainly lost me as a customer.

Best of luck in your endeavors,

SIgned XXXX

Ok I emailing this: What do you think?

Using Levi Johnston in an ad for your product is the ultimate low. The message is cheap and I'm emailing everyone I know to alert them of your callous, distasteful ad. I will urge them to also notify everyone they can, not to purchase your product. "Does it with protection now", is the ultimate slap in the face to his young beautiful son and your company should be a shame for such a disgraceful attempt in stooping this low in order to make a cheap buck!

[browniexyz]

Doug, I emailed them — but perhaps we should look at this another way. The dude needs to earn some child support somehow! And it won’t be because of his brains, let’s face it!

[SolidWood]

I’m boycotting “Get Crackin wonderful Pistachios” and “Sunkist” beverages. Both pay Levi Johnston.
