I just saw the commercial featuring, who I believe is Marvin Gaye, among a backdrop of Team USA basketball players. I find it appalling that the National Anthem is reduced to a trip-hop back beat to sell gear to ballers.
Do you not know what the National Anthem stands for? Don’t try to tell me that the patriotism angle lies within the Olympic umbrella. The bastardization of our country’s national anthem is merely a continuation of what pop ‘vocalists’ feel is within their rights as - and I’m laughing as I type this - artists.

PLEASE leave the National Anthem alone! If you’ve ever been on a Marine or Navy base when Colors blast at 0800, you MIGHT understand what the song truly stands for.

Then again, maybe not. And that’s the sad part.

At this performance he brought the crowd to a frenzy with just a drum machine backing him. Ten days later he finally won his first Grammys (for Sexual Healing). This was just over a year before he was killed and one of his last performances.

How old is who? Marvin Gaye? Mike Krzyzewski?

Marvin Gay was shot and killed by his father one day before his 45th birthday on April 1st, 1984!

Mike Krzyzewski (aka Coach K) is 61 but I doubt that he’d be on a public dating website seeing how he’s married with kids. That and the Duke Basketball program has enough money behind this guy and his legacy that they’d most likely squash anything that could tarnish Coach K’s “devout catholic” image.

As for the basketball stars? Lebron is 23, Kobe is 29 and J-Kidd is the old man in the group at a 35. No clue (nor do I care) about their personal lives.

If you were asking about the agency folks though, they’re all whores so I wouldn’t be surprised if you can find them on multiple dating websites to better hedge their bets…. but alas, unless they’re lying through their teeth, it would be hard to find any of them on seekingwealthy.com. This is advertising after all.
“You spend the first half of your career underpaid and overworked. The second half? In a different industry, ‘client-side’, owning the agency or in rehab. Pick your poison.”
