Amped Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 So some bluejeans company spotted me running or some junk recently. I get a letter in the mail stating they'd like for me to be their spokesperson for their eufiber enhanced jeans. All I have to do is run a bit and say something about them being comfortable and durable enough for me to wear them.Anybody have any experience with this type of stuff?Totem, you've been a spokesperson haven't you?

Wakinyan Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Spokesperson? Well sorta. I can't drive The Dodge Gryphon HyperHemmy but they use some video of me flying over the Rockies (Sure you've seen the ad) to help promote the thing. (They made me go with the Bald Eagle look for the shoot, I guess to promote the whole patriotic angle.) It's a good paycheck I don't have to do much and I get fan mail. (For a commercial WTF?) So all in all it wasn't a terrible idea. I am sure the Terats consider me a Whore of Babylon for it but since I still gotta use the human monetary system I gotta make ends meet just like everyone else who goes by it. It's pretty easy money really, just consider getting an agent before you agree to anything. Plus the free truck they gave me drives really nice according to Granddad.

Amped Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 I think I'm going to go ahead and go through with it. Eating is taking a toll on my money reserves and I've gotta do something about it.Any thoughts on a good agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Well, all the big nova agencies have departments of people that handle these kind of things (and work actively to get you more work). On the independent front, there is this nova, Christian Novelle (no kidding, that's his real name) who is starting an agency up.I don't know how good he is. Like you, he is relatively new to the node and you would be his first nova client.Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey as far as I'm concerned a fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place. Milk 'em for all they're worth if that's what rings your bell.

Timeslip Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Timex made some initial contacts with me some time ago regarding the possibility of a sponsorship. However, when (1) I made it clear that I wasn't going to wear a logo and (2) certain politically incorrect dietary needs were brought to their attention, they stopped calling. Just as well, really; I'm not exactly thrilled with the concept of corporations, let alone corporate sponsorships, and frankly I am just do not have -- or display -- the overactive sense of altruism that would make a sponsorship truly valuable to a sponsor (and thus, to me).

Amped Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 Lemmy, I lost my mortal soul the day I erupted. IF you want part of it you'll have to find whoever is holding it and take it up with them.I think I'm gong to do it though, I need finances. I eat way too much and my metabolism is way too fast.

Dreamer Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Amped, note how it's cost was your soul. Not your mortal soul.As for the rest of this thread. I will have to tell you this, money can bring a lot fo good things, but it will bring a lot of bad things. So as always becareful what you wish for. You just may get it.

Amped Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 HAHA, Oh this is great. So, they wanted me to claim that their jeans could hold up to even the rigors I give them, so what do I go do. I call them up, ask for a pair, and tell them I'll make my decision after I try them out.First thing first, I can't move in those crappy jeans, I rip both knees out of the jeans within my first few steps, second thing, the crotch of them starts smoking from movement.Now, if I wasn't over here laughing my butt off, I'd be thinking about a way to sue them for lighting me on fire in my sensitive areas. I couldn't help but throw them back in their face, looks like this deal is down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy Horrorshow Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Fair to Substantial amounts of coin are involved. Easy money. I'll send some info in your direction and see what you think of it. On a side note, I looked at the "Flame-Retardant briefs" myself and turns out there's an XWF logo on the tag. For the life of me I can't remember who needed a non-flamable crotch....Which is weird because I'm pretty much the trivia king when it comes to crap like this.:runs off to find Max: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
