Iggy Pop & Johnny Rotten

[Brian Fantana]

I can't help but think the younger versions of these two would kick the crap out of their older selves. Selling car insurance & butter? not very "punk" is it...

[scotal]

but it is lucrative.....

[DrTre]

Was very very surprised to see Iggy doing that, thought he had more "integrity". All rather puts me in mind of Bill Hicks' observations.

JR, less so, he does whatever he wants and doesn't care...but has never really professed to has he? He'll take whatever's offered and bite the hand that gives it to him...it ain't big, it ain't clever but he is funny.

Nice pot of cash for their retirement. Can't say I blame them. Little disappointed in Iggy though, but not going to lose any sleep over it.

Wish someone would pay me to talk a load of crap whilst prancing around half naked on TV.

one of those "over 60" adverts would be more understandable. It's just wrong to have a man of his age, top off & covered in body glitter.

It does not want to make me buy insurance....but maybe invest in some body glitter.

He's not selling car insurance. He's selling time, man. So he can riiiiiiiiiiide.

Johnny has always been a great guy. Met him twice.

He probably thought "what the hell."


Good for him!

[lord summerisle]

and lemmy in the Kit Kat advert?

and i'm sure i've seen Biff Byford in the Ford advert

I've always enjoyed how his status changed from "Punk" to "Grand Elder Statesman of Rock".

I suspect he enjoys the irony.

And...Good for him! (+1)

Iggy does not endorse Swiftcover any way - he's merely stating how he's got better things to do than look for documents that get lost

Same way as Clooney never mentions Nespresso in the ad he's doing.

Or Kidman doesn't say how great Chanel is

etc

Good luck to 'em

[Steamer]

Okay - so we've all got to make a pound or two to stay in the life style that we have become accustomed too.

But quite honestly that Swift Cover / Iggy Pop advert is just fking cringe worthy!!...

...does he share the same management baffoons as Lewis Hamilton?!?

[Darth Paul]

I thought they were anti drug adverts. Do drugs, end up broke, do crap adverts to pay off debts.

It's a feck of a lot better than the god-awful service dished out by stCover - proof (if it were ever needed that you get what you pay for).

• Online claims process that crashes. *Impossible to contact by phone*. Maximum £12 per hour labour rate for London*information lost etc etc

They are as bad as his singing.

"Here's the deal, folks. You do a commercial - you're off the artistic roll call, forever. End of story. Okay? You're another we at the capitalist gang bang and if you do a commercial, there's a price on your head. Everything you say is suspect and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd falling into my drink." - Bill Hicks

a pair of 'sell out has beens' desperate to stay in the public eye.

Sad and quite embarrassing.

[Beefmeister]

I can't fecking stand the Iggy one. It actually makes me turn over, especially the " Just time to RIIIIIIIII. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE" bit.
