Now if I could only figure out why I

come out so wrinkly

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.
