don't care if it has a hemi and neither should you.
DODGE HEMI
Okay,
by now everyone's seen about 400 different dodge commercials about
the hemi engine. Most of them start this guy to the left, Jon Reep.
I feel bad for poor Jon Reep because he will forever be that guy
from the hemi commercials (except for the Sierra Mist commercial
with the bagpipes). Anyway, some tool is driving his
redneck-mobile, when this guy and his chromosomally deficient buddy
are driving another paragon of the redneck lifestyle: an old Charger
(the General Lee minus the paint job). He drag races the guy with
the truck and loses because... wait for it... wait for it... the
truck has a hemi. Woo-fucking-hoo! There's another set out with
some tool and his coddling, over-protective wife. Their bastard kid says "hemi" in an "it's supposed to be a little kid, but
it's really Ted from Marketing" voice. Then the dude sets himself
on fire. I was hoping he'd be completely burned alive, or at least
hospitalized, but he was fine. I know it was a joke, but it was a
cruel, evil joke to let him survive without permanent injury. I'm
getting a moped and slapping a "This thing's got a motherfucking
HEMI" sticker on the back. Oh, and in case you missed the hidden
message behind the Hemi commercials, here it is:
[Update
4/4/05 - I got an email from Jon Reep over the weekend.
It's short and to the point, so here it is:
(douche-bag washed-up actor from the Hemi commercials?)
Dude...how can i be washed up? I just got started. Take
it easy buddy.
Love,
Jon

Well, hooray
for Google. I'm glad that Google is now tracking this site (or
whatever the techie term for it is) because I'm an attention whore
when it comes to things like this. It also means that all the crap
I wrote on the updates
page (popular search queries that I made up) will bring hordes
of people that like pictures of naked people shitting into someone's
mouth, furry porn, and chicks with dicks to my site, even though
they'll probably be let down that I don't actually have any scat
content. I don't care though because those people are only one
picture of a naked 12-year-old boy away from no longer being human.
Anyway, Jon
(may I call you Jon? Thanks) claims he's just starting out and
therefore can't be washed up. And he's right. You need a respected
acting career (read: be in movies and TV shows, no matter how
stupid they are, and not do crappy Dodge commercials)
before you get to the point in your career where the only messages
you receive on your phone are from the producers of Surreal Life.
So no, he's not washed up and has very little chance of that
happening. My bad. Since he was in a Hemi commercial, however, he
is still a douche-bag in my book. And Jon? It's not just you, man. It's
everyone in those commercials. You're just the guy whose online
resume (that's really tacky, by the way - must be a commercial actor
thing because I've found others by accident) I found when I searched
for the hemi commercials on Google. Speaking of, I'm assuming you
were searching for yourself on Google to see if anyone (commercial
critics maybe? Do they exists?) mentioned you, hoping to
parlay that into another minimum-wage acting gig. Instead, you
found my website and got offended. Not that it isn't
necessarily warranted, but I'm finding it hard to believe that you
give a shit what a guy who watches cartoons and wears a cape during
sex thinks about a handful of redneck-oriented commercials you
appeared in. Even though
my acting makes Natalie Portman's acting ability seem amazing (I starred in three really, really bad student films
when I went to Drexel so my lack of acting talent is well
documented), but here's a tip anyway: if you're really trying to be
a successful actor, you shouldn't care what people you haven't met
write about you on the internet. Look at Stallone. You know
everybody hates him for crappy movie after crappy movie (Judge Dredd,
Daylight, Demolition Man, and on and on and on) yet he still keeps
making them. I personally send him 18 emails a day telling him how
much he sucks since Rambo and he's got his own TV show. (I still
think Over the Top is the best truck-driving, arm-wrestling,
child-custody-battling movie ever made, though.) Yeah, it's a
really stupid reality show about people boxing for their kids
(however that makes sense), but at least I don't see it every
time a show goes to commercial.
Jon did sign
his email with love though, and that fills my insides with sunshine
jelly. And I'd make fun of more commercial actors (like that
annoying cock-head from the Intel
Server commercials) if I could find out what their names were.
But since I'm not getting paid to write this crap last I checked,
I'm not going to waste too much time looking.]
