Poor Gary Coleman
Because apparently things like food and shelter and clothing still cost money, Gary Coleman swallowed up the last of his pride and posed for this ad campaign for New York Fries 25th anniversary. They even got him to wear his little Watchoo Talkin' Bout Willis outfit and 1984 'fro and everything. The company's reasoning behind the campaign? New York Fries marketing manager Alyssa Berenstein:Zig wanted to look at celebrities from the era of New York Fries’ birth “that are no longer all that relevant,” Berenstein said. (Source)
Wow. I wonder if they won him over with that alone or if they had to send him a fruit basket, too? Unless sperm banks finally start accepting midget sperm, I think this is might end up being the most degrading thing Gary Coleman will ever do for money.
At the Tribeca premiere Of "Midgets Vs. Mascots" in April:
While Mr. Coleman is an adult and can make his own choices, I agree - this is utterly degrading. One really does have to wonder about the marketing geniuses who came up with this: at what point is something just wrong because it's wrong? I dunno about you, but nothing about this feels right.
easy with the wise cracks on midget sperm please...and i feel that society is too blame for blatently taking advantage of a human of color with short stature due to an illness. it is a sad sad world because o one ever took Coleman serious as an adult because of the way he looks. sick. true he has a choice but what does he have to work with..he obviously has been brainwashed to laugh at himself..i pray for him to be loved right in this picket fenced gross ego world!
