Your point being that nobody else ever sold crap to make ends meet?

I agree, FUD, everybody's endorsed something sometime, it's the American way.

That said.... that New Testament thing is one that Cash did believe in, I'm sure. He got religion after Folsom, Momma and June got done straitening him out.

All that said... there will be NO bad-mouthing the Man in Black least I cast a curse of a thousand camel's fleas upon you down unto the 5th generation.

He was not ashamed to make his money hawking stuff in the US, unlike most movie and tv stars who do it overseas. Tommy Lee Jones comes right to mind doing Japanese commercials, but there are a good number of 'big stars' who do it.

What's so out of place about these endorsements? A man's gotta buy gas, have a drink, get gifts for the kids at Christmas, eat, go to the bank, and get right with God. I suspect that most celebrity endorsements are pure bunk but The Man In Black was probably sincere about what he endorsed.

I think the JohnnyCash Machine is a great idea! Were any of them located in the bathroom? :lol:
I also liked the Taco Bell ad with the "Little Cash" tag! :lol: :coolsmile:
