JJ in a Rolex Advertisement?

What do you think guys? With his loyalty to the brand... no make that

BLIND FAITH

No one on the web exudes more love for the brand than the bald kiwi loon.

So I say we all petition Rolex's head office with letters and emails ordering their marketing department to create an advert featuring JJ.

Who could say no to a Rolex with this guy as the spokesperson?

Yes! JJ, I'll become your agent, just sign on the dotted line please. No need to read the fine print, trust me.

Um, Frans, you'll have to get in line. Since it was my idea, I get to manage JJ's career as the Rolex spokesperson. But don't worry, I'll make sure all the guys here get a Rolex as part of JJ's contract. JJ said he wouldn't mind bypassing on payment in lieu of watches for all his buddies.

It was your idea but I thought it out. Step aside 'buddy'. JJ, now is a good time to remember who your real friends are. We'll discuss my fee at that fine restaurant and drinks are on me!

Frans.

P.S. For the meal we'll go Dutch, OK? And restrict your drinking please, one glass of tap water per person should just about cut it.

Don't forget, I worked for him for a short time before getting sacked. He doesn't pay his employees.

That's true... lets put him out there as spokeman, don't give him even a SD screwdriver... but we all get watches.

That's fair and that would likely be the Rolex way of doing it too.

The amazing thing is... no one has voted NO.

I guess we're all hoping to profit from JJ's appearances.

Hey you monkey, I was answering the gentelmans question that started this poll. He is mad that more people don't want him to get off crack.

I voted yes. Hell, if they can bring forth a monstrosity like the leopard Daytona into the world and still sleep at night, having JJ in an ad would be easy.........

In other words, they can get away with all kinds of shite, so no problem!!









Well JJ, you can't say we aren't talking about you now.......

Well, all depends on how you define "manage" I suppose. You just put him in one of those kitty-carrier boxes, point the door in the right direction before unlatching it, and then stand well back.

I'd like to say that I wasn't giggling myself stupid when it did it, but I'd be lying.
