She's in an ad for dog food, she used to be in ads for e-surance, and she's on the treadmill in the Metamucil ad.<br /><br />If you look her up on You Tube you'll see that she's part of a sketch comedy troupe.<br /><br />I think she's getting so much ad work because her looks make her seem familiar, but she's not so overwhelmingly memorable that she gets pigeonholed in conjunction with just one product.1st Republic 14th Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527557395529372165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-46254626810237172032011-08-14T21:13:52.652-07:002011-08-14T21:13:52.652-07:00This whole ad campaign is BS.

-----
On December 3,...I'm calling BS on Ford.<br /><br />-----<br /><br />On December 3, 2008, Ford Motor Co.’s CEO, Alan Mulally, applauded the assistance the federal government extended to General Motors and Chrysler, while also declaring, “Ford is in a different position. We do not face a near-term liquidity issue, and we are not seeking short-term financial assistance from the government.”<br /><br />Two years after this pronouncement, Ford remains “the auto company that did not receive a government bailout.” So pervasive is this legend, that tourists in Dearborn, Michigan can be seen wearing T-shirts like these: "FORD: Built Without Your Tax Dollars."<br /><br />Ford relishes this public perception and uses it to its economic advantage. Kudos to Ford. Now let’s look at the facts.<br /><br />Just one month before Mulally declared, “We do not face a near-term liquidity issue, and we are not seeking short-term financial assistance from the government,” Ford Motor Credit had borrowed nearly $4 billion from the Fed’s Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF). And just two weeks after this remark, Ford Motor Credit borrowed an additional $3 billion from the CPFF. In all, Ford borrowed $7 billion between October 27, 2008 and June 17, 2009.<br /><br />http://dailyreckoning.com/the-half-truth-and-nothing-but-the-half-truth/1st Republic 14th Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527557395529372165noreply@blogger.com
