Alec Baldwin does voice-overs for anti-meat ads *and* SUV ads?
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 11:52 PM by WilliamPitt
On Bravo a few weeks ago, this incredibly graphic commercial about the horrors of meat processing was in heavy rotation. They showed all these animals - pigs, cows, chickens - getting butchered in the kind of graphic detail you get from reading 'Fast Food Nation.' The commercial then went on to advocate for vegetarianism.

And then I hear Baldwin, just tonight, do the voice-over for an SUV commercial. Am I wrong in thinking there is an odd lack of consistency here - going from a really hardcore lib/left/progressive message (and this argument does fall on the left end of the spectrum; I've never met any righties who think meat is murder) that you'd think meant he was on board, to selling SUVs.

It just struck me funny. I'm trying to think about anything besides poll numbers, turnout and swing-state weather forecasts. Once this Baldwin tangent loses its powers of distraction, I'm probably going to sit down and read the Rules of Poker at the top of my lungs until I pass out. It's either that or relentless masturbation, and I bruise easily.

7. Are you sure it's not another of the roughly 742 Baldwins?
Like how Martin Sheen's soundalike brother did a VO in a commercial of some sort (I'm being lazy, but it had someone ripping the stripes off the flag... was it an NRA piece?), very obviously meant to fool people into thinking it was him.

If it's not Alec, I bet it's Daniel, who probably needs the work (coke habits ain't cheap...).
