Has anyone seen that Gillespie Chevy hired a homeless crackhead (Ronnie Woo Woo) as their new spokesperson? Are you freaking kidding me?

You mean a business trying to possibly cash in on the "lemming'-mindedness of Cub fans surprises you???? I'm surprised it wasn't tried before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 With their prior commercials, it is no surprise they would sink that low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really, REALLY hard not to think triplets are cute. Those girls are like nails on a chalkboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm not familiar with their commercials, and I think I am very thankful for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Their billboard on 294 was a kid picking his nose. Whoever is in charge of their marketing should be tared and feathered. Edited October 5, 2007 by StrangeSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 5, 2007 -> 02:42 PM) Ya'll are talking about it, so it must be effective. It is annoyingly effective. The thing I dont appreciate is that if I owned my own business, i would really respect the image that I project to the public. I want the image of my company to be equal to that of my character and my company's values. All Gillespie is telling me is that they are desperate, weak willed, and willing to hire a crack head to drive up just a little bit of business. Shock marketing like theirs that draws negative attention towards your business is not something I would personally take part in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'd really like to know what Woo Woo does for a living, or where he gets his money. If I recall correctly, he's married and has a child, or two. He can't be a total bum, though he looks like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Since 1990, most of Wickers' income has come from washing windows in the neighborhood around Wrigley Field. He also makes paid appearances at parties and has starred in local commercials.[1] In 2000, two Wrigleyville bar owners organized a much-publicized fundraiser to provide Wickers with a new pair of dentures.[2] per wikipedia.
