Nut-job of the Week - No. 2

Here is Dan Aykroyd promoting a brand of vodka.



This is not, I repeat, not a joke. It is not satire, even though it may appear to be. He actually believes this. This is why, in the main, actors should not be listened to. The make-believe they are a part of starts affecting their brain. Rationality seeps out and is replaced by woo woo.

Inspiring the last Indianna Jones film, these crystals were held to be made by Aztecs and ‘baffled’ scientists. Sorry boys, but these skulls have been shown to be products of the 19th century during which the trade in pre-Columbian artifacts was rife. Fakes were abundant.

What a convoluted and crazy way to sell booze at inflated prices. And to think people buy this shite.

So for this, Dan Aykroyd is my Nut-job of the Week.

It seems that youtube have pulled the video, but I looked at it on the vodka's web site.

What a hoot. He's almost funnier now than when he was on SNL!

More importantly, what's happening with the dead pool?

In case it's goin ahead here is mine:

1.Peter Falk
2. Zsuzsanna (Zsa Zsa) Gabor
3. Bernard Schwartz (Tony Curtis)
4. Nicholas Szarkozy
[Finding I'd included 4 people of Hungarian descent it was tempting to continue the theme with Goldie Hawn, Gene Simmons etc, but I resisted]
5. Patrick Swayze
6. Hazel Hawke
7. Steve Jobs
8. Cassius Marcellus Clay (Muhammad Ali)
9. Ronnie Biggs
10. Ted Kennedy

I figure picking mostly the old and infirm will have to get me at least one hit!
