dont cry anymore when I have to take a
bath.
She has to beg me to get out thanks
to Big Bird Bubbles.
Now if I could only figure out why I
come out so wrinkly
Ages

PRODUCT: DOUBLE
BUBBLE
Have
you ever seen someone blow a bubble 6 ft.
wide?
Of course not, you just met
me.  I can blow a bubble so big it covers my
entire face.
Double Bubble is thick and juicy and
helps you create large bubbles,
with a lot of training of
course.

PRODUCT: NOXEMA
If
theres one lesson Ive learned in skin care, its
that you must not ignore
blemishes.
I use Noxzema blemish
treatment.  Stop using your mothers blemish
cream and try
Noxzema.  Your skin will thank
you.

PRODUCT: SUBWAY
Im
a great kid, but I do run my parents to
death.  They are constantly picking me
up,
dropping me off, helping me study,
attending my games.
I keep them busy.  So when Mom
wants to stop at Subway for
dinner,
Im all for it.  So when were
on the go, Subway is what we pick
up.

PRODUCT: PONDS FACIAL
WIPES
They
say new is always better.  But in this case,
Im sticking with what works.
Ponds facial wipes.  One wipe
and your face will feel clean and
refreshed.
It doesnt leave any soapy residue
on your skin.
Ponds, why buy anything
else?
 
Male
Ages 18+
 
PRODUCT: CAMPBELLS HEARTY BEEF
STEW
Ill be honest.  I dont know
how to cook.  So when Im in need of a
delicious meal,
I just heat up a bowl of warm beef
stew from Campbells Soup
Selections.
With big chunks of beef, savory
potatoes and carrots, theres nothing more
fulfilling.
So to satisfy my taste buds without
the mess of trying to cook, I just heat up
Campbells Hearty Beef Stew.

I recently attended one of their auditions. While there is a ridiculous amount of evidence that you are getting ripped off by these people, they also clearly state during orientation that you are not guaranteed a job at Disney, Nickelodeon, or other businesses.

This is a business that runs a convention in which agents do actually attend. The convention does exist and happens on an annual basis in Los Angeles.

The problem that people have with this is that if you're paying $2,000+ to get a spot in the convention, some think that you're *entitled* to become an actor. WRONG.

This is just an opportunity, much like American Idol. And I'm pretty sure people think American Idol is a scam, too. It's still in existence. It's been going on for 10 seasons now.

So, while it's not fair that you have to pay to get in, you also have to pay MUCH MORE to get into acting school and pass the courses there. Here, you just show your stuff and *hopefully* you get noticed by execs attending the event.

This is my view.
