The definition of selling out...

[Al Neri]

I think an ideal definition of selling out is the David Carridine Yellow Book commercial.

agree?

disagree?

 

[DainBramaged]

no idea

people need to work

The what?

Gary Coleman. He's the ultimate sell out. The success just went to his head.

Selling out implies that either he stood for something or he said he would never do something. Since I don't recal David Carradine accusing Yellow Book of being an evil corporations, I'm gonna go with no, not a sell-out.

Actually, I saw a David Carradine Yellow Book commercial, and thought it was kind of funny.

 

[BooGiMaN]

how is he a sell out?

from what i understand to be a sellout you compromise our morals and principles for money....

then again i havent seen the commercial tell us what its about

 

[dartworth]

its called working...

maybe you should try it sometime

Carradine in those Yellow Book commercials makes me cringe. It's kind of pathetic.

 

[LookingGlass]

He jumped the shark.

I mean, it's not like he was bruce lee or something. he's an actor, it's a job... wherein lies the problem?

 

[T9D]

I thought it was cool to see him after all these years. He actually looks quite good for his age.

 

[Darthvoy]

he probably got paid what you do in a year to do that 30 sec commercial

 

[llamajizz]

It's not like his career was going anywhere spectacular... he was on a disney show for like 5 years.

 

[fustercluck]

He probably didn't get a whole lot from Kill Bill and wants to get work while he still can. I see nothing wrong with it...though i do change it whenever i see that commercial as i like to think of his as Bill

QFT those saying he is pathetic must be kids as he has most of the baby boomer buy in.

A lot of older performers avoid performing since the young today (and in a way more vocal) bash them.

If you know what Carradine was about, then the commercials would be entertaining to you. If you think you are really grasshopper and he is dissing your alter-ego; try lithium.

he's not exactly in high demand. Kill Bill was the first legit thing he'd done in a LONG time. after the first Kung Fu series, he was pretty much a washed-up coke fiend. Kill Bill proved he can still act (better than ever, probably), but no one has been casting him. I feel bad for the guy.
