- In some countries adulterers are stoned. (So they don't get a chance to do it again I guess) -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 14:08 2
  - To prevent accidental stoning, purchase your very own WardRock(tm) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:08 1
    - Bah, your wardrocks don't work in the rain. -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 14:09
- Nothing's being censored here. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:07
- like Prince Charles? -- nm - peglegpete Dec 8, 14:06

- I imagine there are a ton of old-timey celebrities whose behavior would be plastered all over TMZ and the like if it was going on today. -- nm - Callisto Dec 8, 14:07 2
  - *Most* of them, I'd bet. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 14:08
  - TMZ oughta do a throwback day on one of those guys. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 14:08

So, is there a product that you either bought (or, more appropriately for the discussion, refused to buy) because of the spokesperson? - Agent.Vermin, Marketer Dec 8, 13:59 3

- Noit exactly the same, but I stopped going to a restaurant in Brentwood that OJ owned a large stake in until he had to sell it. -- nm - jnine Dec 8, 14:14
- Joker Toxin. -- nm - Tickle-Me-Diva Dec 8, 14:01
Jeebus! Ho #6 got a huge dose of Joker toxin. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 13:58 1
- I debated between that and the "four out of five dentists" joke. I stand by my decision. -- nm - David Dec 8, 13:59

Related to Joey's b2 wedding joke: Kim knew a couple who picked up a woman for their honeymoon trip. Damn, that's freaky hot in an unsettling way. -- nm - David Dec 8, 13:54 9
- that sounds like a bad movie that was just made. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:55 8

  - ouch. much snow up there yet? -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:54 1
    - 3-4 inches where I live. We've gotten a couple of inches the last 2 nights. That's not really high enough to plow, but some idiot decided to do it - Trish Dec 8, 14:17

    - Henry VIII! Jesus! -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:06
- Ronald Reagan -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 13:59

- Rudy Guliani -- nm - CQ Dec 8, 13:57
- Vince Neil -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 13:57 1

- Liz Taylor -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 13:56
- Dalton Trumbo -- nm - peglegpete Dec 8, 13:55

    - still he sold a lot during the 90s after the first molestation scadal -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:55
- Brad Pitt. -- nm - David Dec 8, 13:52 25
  - what was Brad's scandal? -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 13:53 24
    - He cheated on his famous actress wife with a different famous actress wife. Maybe you heard... -- nm - David Dec 8, 13:53 22
      - perhaps, but not so concrete as this (and not with several mistresses) -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 14:00 9
        
        It's been a magazine cover focus for several years. -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:01 8
        
        everything they print is true! - Guy Dec 8, 14:07 7
        
        Who said a scandal has to be accurate to affect marketability? -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:09
        
        Why did no one remind me I was talking to Guy? -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:08 1
        
        im not arguing anyone's fidelity, im arguing in context of b's question - Guy Dec 8, 14:11
        
        you really think Brad Pitt waited to jam Angelina until he and Jennifer were over? really? -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 14:07 3
        
        of course not. my point is that Tiger was caught red-handed and in the court of public opinion, that matters. -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 14:09 2
        
        all of this Tiger stuff, fwiw, is completely unsubstantiated thus far. He hasn't admitted to much of anything specific. - TFox Dec 8, 14:11
        
        his hand was in the cookie jar! - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:10
      - and now his famous actress ex-wife is jumping into any leading man's bed. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:54 11
        
        poor JaxSean -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 13:55 10
        
        agreed, but with the way her career is going he should have a shot when she's 55. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:56 9
        
        The way her career is going, he should have a shot with $55. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:58 8
        
        The box office analyst in me wants to point out she's doing shockingly well. The JaxSean hater in me wants this to continue for another few boards. -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:00 5
        
        yeah I know she is, but her numbers at the box office are dwindling aren't they as a leading actress? -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 14:01 4
        
        Love Happens was a bomb as expected, but her two previous films were He's Just Not That Into You and Marley and Me. - David Dec 8, 14:06 3
        
        I might argue that she was not the lead for either of those films....she was support... - Remlik Dec 8, 14:10
        
        The dog was the star. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:08 1
        
        Of all three? -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:10
        
        she's got a few years of Lifetime movies left in her. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 14:00 1
        
        She might actually opt for the $55. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:00
    - he cheated on America's Sweetheart! -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 13:53
- Tim Allen -- nm - MDH Dec 8, 13:52

    - I was thinking of the Keating 5. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 13:55 1
      - totally forgot! thanks guys. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 14:03
    - Keating 5. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:55
    - being a maverick? -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:54
  - I dunno if eddie murphy counts. I mean, Pluto Nash is still a pretty recent scandal. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 13:49 1
    - is that what ugly spice named the kid? -- nm - peglegpete Dec 8, 13:51

  - Robert Downey Jr. sort of -- nm - stewie Dec 8, 13:52 5
    - That's a really good one. -- nm - David Dec 8, 13:58
    - definitely -- nm - zork Dec 8, 13:55 3
      - eventually. he was borderline untouchable for a while. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 13:59 2
        
        (like in the indian, as opposed to elliot ness way) -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 13:59 1
        
        no timeline was given -- nm - zork Dec 8, 14:00
- Kobe's rebounded well. Magic Johnson possibly -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 13:46
- marilyn monroe. -- nm - Truman Dec 8, 13:46
- Paris Hilton - con_carne Dec 8, 13:46
- david letterman -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 13:45 6
  - good one! -- nm - b. Dec 8, 13:48
  - [deleted]
  - (And bill clinton ... sort of. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 13:46 3
    - His approval ratings went up, if I recall correctly. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 13:51 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I guess I was thinking of the post-impeachment rise. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 13:58
