Sanjaya Comes At You Fast

Oh, Sanjaya Malakar, I've missed you so. Your creative hairdos that belong more on Shear Genius than on American Idol, the way you can destroy a perfectly good Kinks song like nobody else, your ability to make little Ashley Ferl cry on cue...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
The answer is, apparently Sanj has been shooting his own Kevin Federline-esque "Life Comes At You Fast" commercial for Nationwide Insurance. Except his commercial is waaay better than K-Fed's. He's wearing a fauxhawk! And trying to act! And singing! Kind of!
Somewhere out there in TV Land, Ashley Ferl is crying next to her plasma screen:
Welcome back, Sanjaya. Now all I need is for Danny Noriega to get his own Nationwide ad and I'll be weeping tears of joy, too...
Sanjaya, the commercial is Outstanding 100%
Best wishes!
Go SJYA, go!:))))
The odd thing with all of this is that his "singing/acting" in this ridiculous commercial will be remembered. Can't remember if there was a name to the insurance company. Still, it will be a topic of conversation around that "stupid commercial" and we'll remember that at the end, it was to seel insurance. Now that's pretty hard to forget. The crazier a commerical is, the more we remember it.
In jest or not, I truly don't believe this is a good move for Sanjaya-not personally, not for whatever career he goes into, and certainly not for a chance to be taken at all seriously as a young adult. I clearly don't know him,yet by doing things like this commercial, he appears a lot younger than his age. I doubt anyone would want to buy anything from a sales rep who acts like Sanjaya. I wouldn't have an ounce of trust or faith in his abilities or capabilities. He's playing at life as if it's a game. I believe he has made a very poor choice for himself. I hope for his sake that he comes out of this all right.
Talking from experience, mocking oneself is very demeaning and helps nothing in the long run.
As for the commercial itself, I think it's creative, and kind of funny ( I admit it's also kind of silly. But it's a commercial; what's wrong with being silly?) Being a foreign film lover, I also think it will be the first commercial that catches my attention if played alongside with other "mainstream" kind of commercials at the same time.
Will I switch to Nationwide? Well, I mostly fly, instead of drive. Sorry Sanjaya.
Keep up the good work!
And it will be interesting to see where he goes from here.
Please make him go away.
Please....
I have just the person for them.
My brother,33 years old,has moved back home for like the 4 or fifth time.No woman wants him,.He thinks he is all that and he needs to be put on tv,,so they can give him some money to move far away from the family that is sick of him.
Him and that Sanjaya guy would be perfect together,,NO ONE CAN STAND EITHER OF THEM.
