Lighten up DUDES. He was merely doing research for the role, besides when the cops nailed him they thought they were busting him for puffing on a Winston.

My prediction: This will end his Dell career and insure at least a trial run with Hollywood. I happen to like the kid. He is funny and his run of commercials was certainly successful.

And he ends it all by being caught with a bag of oregano...make that grass..or whatever. Bad bad boy. Carrying around a bag of dead weeds. You are a threat to society.

Yeah, it's marijuana now, but that inevitably leads to arson, rape, axe murder, cattle rustling, and genocide. Or worse, he might end up shilling for Microsoft.

Well, another squeaky-clean media icon turns out to have feet of clay. Oh, well. At least we still have Snoop Dogg...

It is worthwhile for self-proclaimed "conservatives" to consider the fact that in 1919, Congress and the nation thought it necessary to pass a Constitutional Amendment to ban alcoholic beverages.

That Urban Myth again?

"National prohibition took effect at midnight, January 16, 1920, one year after ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment. BUT, the Lever Food and Fuel Control Act of August 1917 banned the production of distilled spirits for the duration of the war. The War Prohibition Act of November 1918 forbade the manufacture and sale of all intoxicating beverages of more than 2.75 percent alcohol content, beer and wine as well as hard liquor, until demobilization was completed."

The Prohibition Amendment was enacted because Temperance forces saw it as less susceptible to repeal than legislation.

"An amendment to the Constitution obviously appealed to temperance reformers more than a federal statute banning liquor. A simple congressional majority could adopt a statute but, with the shift of a relatively few votes, could likewise topple one. Drys feared that an ordinary law would be in constant danger of being overturned owing to pressure from liquor industry interests or the growing population of liquor-using immigrants. A constitutional amendment, on the other hand, though more difficult to achieve, would be impervious to change. Their reform would not only have been adopted, the Anti-Saloon League reasoned, but would be protected from future human weakness and backsliding."

The old one? I think his first commerical he was doing a Eddie Haskell routine, getting parents to buy a Dell for their kid, if I remember correctly. I saw Cavuto interview him once, and he was quite different away from the commercial script. He had bigger and better things in mind then besides Dell. But not getting busted. Ha.

[Redcloak]

Dangerous criminal, he should be given life.

Aaaaw... The soft-on-crime, it-isn't-their-fault, society's-to-blame left has chimed in. Life? He should be SHOT!

HE'S A MENACE TO SOCIETY!

HE SHOULD BE PUT UP AGAINST A WALL!!

KILL!! KILL!! KILL!! KILL!! KILL!! KILL!! KILL!! KILL!!

...cuz drugs are dangerous. Drugs kill.

I'll bet you're a National Merit Scholar, judging from your command of both logic and state-approved curricula.
