Iggy Pop

[garyi]

Sell out!

Thing is would you want insurance as endorsed by Iggy Pop?

 

[Tony L]

He's survived more than most of us!

Tony.

 

[nickl]

Yes, why not?

Still trying to work out what my 17 year old self would have made of a world where both he and Alice Cooper were selling insurance though (probably takem to drugs earlier).

 

[Engels]

probably more acceptable than John Lydon selling us butter

 

[Fox]

I was almost scared to click this link thinking he had died...

Anyway. Sure he's sold out. Saw them on the London Underground -- with a watch or summat? Insurance? No problem with that. Take any one of his classic LPs is an instant get out of jail card.

I'm sure he has got rather a few thousand good reasons to have done the ad campaign.

... and why not ?

 

[dss]

He probably drives a Prius rather then a US muscle car.

Not a good thing selling car insurance is it.

Still, Raw Power + The Idiot >> Saga Insurance

Well I had the guy down as a ****ing mentalist.

I could of course be wrong.

 

[Snufkin]

Well suited to selling insurance then.

I googled it, OK he is pushing insurance, had not seen that, guess an UK only thing

It's shocking, isn't it? Another shameless one I saw recently is a Japanese tv ad for a mobile phone company, complete with Brad Pitt.

When Sir Keith Richards got in on the act recently for a Louis Vuitton campaign, at least he got Annie Liebowitz to take the required magazine snap.
