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)

Re: pot should be legal.

Funny comment! Pot is and has been illigal for a looong time and should stay that way. More addiction isn't a good thing.

No justice, no peace!

I heard him interviewed, and he sounded surprising normal and dare I say level-headed.

That's crazy. Don't you know he is an enemy of the state? He's a drug crazed criminal who has violated everyone's rights. He's an actor to boot so he's probably a fruit. So let's kill em.

The "lets have fun with this" crowd.

If you buy a Dell, you are supporting terrorism.

More addiction isn't a good thing.

Then we should ban alcohol, which is much more addictive than marijuana (according to Institute of Medicine figures).

Yeah imprisonment and anal raqpe seem like a punishment commensurate with the crime. The crime being he spent his money on unregulated stuff instead of BUD or MO.

Never, ever think you can outrun the long arm of the dollar.

[McCloud-Strife]

Dude, I plead not guilty

[Guillermo]

Rofl! witty

Special offer, this week only with your Dell desktop!

I didn't know it was legal to sell this stuff but I guess it is....

Ever notice the way that the Dell dude talked? Sort of like Sean Penn in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. You know what I mean, people that go "Hey dude," and then giggle at the end of every sentence. I know people that use this voice inflection in real life and without exception, they are all stoners.

So I guess I can say that I'm not at all surprised. Looks like the Dell dude is going to get, like, a permanent vacation from his advertising gig. Like totally, dude.

The "lets have fun with this" crowd.

Cool. I'm in that group too.

I guess we have different ideas of how to have fun. I think it's fun to pimp the WODers.

Remember the Apple commercials last year, using real people?..One teenager was so stoned..she could hardly talk....
