Media Great Moments in Celebrity Endorsements

Remember when The Sopranos introduced the character Vito, the New Jersey gangster who also happened to be gay, at least until his fellow mobsters sodomized and fatally beat him with a pool cue?
Well, now you buy your very own “Vito” Signature Cue Stick, endorsed by Sopranos actor Joe Gannascoli himself.
Thanks to Towleroad, which also reports that GLAAD has asked cue-producers Rockwell Billiards to banish the phrase “A Cue to Die For” from their advertising, and apologize for ever having done so. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, I look forward to Jodie Foster’s line of The Accused pinball machines. “You can’t say no to pinball!™”
That, sir, be a funny-ass joke. I commend thee.
Remember when you hadn't yet seen the episode where Vito got killed, at least until a Stranger writer sodomized your hapless sense of surprise by dropping unannounced spoilers in a random blog post?
Nah, I don't remember that either. It seems so long ago.
Aw come on, Evan. Not only is the series over, the fact of Vito's death and sodomy at the business end of a pool cue is so much a part of the public consciousness that they've released a SIGNATURE POOL CUE.
Next you're going to tell me who won the 2000 election. Have you no shame?!?
I have more than enough shame.
P.S. Rosebud is a sled.
