Update: T-Mobile Fav-5 ft. Charles Barkley…no more?
Thursday, January 15th, 2009jtherkal: It appears that the T-Mobile Fav-5 ads featuring Charles Barkley will be pulled from the air. At least for now. It’s a sad day when a man can’t go out, have a few drinks and head off for a blowjob without losing his endorsement deal. We’ll miss you Chuck.
Remember the day when Dwayne finally got in!?
“That’s why I don’t eat shrimp.”
While I understand T-Mobile’s actions, you have to think this whole thing will blow over. If you’re not a serious sports fan, you probably didn’t even know about Chuck’s DUI. And if you are a serious sports fan, you probably still like him. We’re quick to forgive our athletes their flaws, especially when they’re hilarious. I think T-Mobile could have found a way to use this to their advantage, like having Charles at the bar, six or seven drinks deep, calling Dwayne for a ride to some girl’s house to get “taken care of”. Bring some of those socks. You know the ones.
Don’t drink and drive. Call someone in your Fav-5.
We love you Chuck. Get your life right.
