E-Dog Night Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I for one applaud Michael Jordan for showing so much courage in coming out of the closet, though I was a bit surprised to see that his catcher is Kevin Bacon. no matter; clearly, this is no one night stand. If you have seen their Hanes commercial, dripping with snugglish jocularity, you know that Bacon, that omnipresent everyman movie star six degrees guy, has recently moved in with one of the better 2-guards during the 1990's, Michael Jordan. It's so cute to see their sweet love. They live together in perfect homo-erotic harmony. Kevin tosses some clothes towards the hamper and MJ comes out of nowhere and says 'Not in my house!' and deflects his dirty clothes to the floor. He tries to toss away some garbage and, once again, out of nowhere, MJ playfully slaps the garbage away from the can, giving his best gay smile. I guess those earrings were not just for style after all. No wonder his wife wanted to leave him. But I say "You go girls!". Jordan loves the smell of Bacon in the morning. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I saw that commercial last night for the first time in awhile. I remember thinking to myself what a lame commercial it really is. Jordan has had a ton of stupid commercials, though. I never expect any of them to be any good. He is a perfect example of a guy that should have stuck to playing sports. He is a terrible actor.

Skins247 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 You're rating acting jobs in commercials??? :doh: Well I meant everything he's ever done...commercials, movies etc I just think he comes off as being cheesy in everything, especially that stupid Hanes commercial. I don't know what it is, but Mike just comes across as a dork when he's doing something other than playing hoops. He's also terrible at running an NBA team. Don't get me wrong, I like Mike. But he should have just stuck to playing hoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 You're rating acting jobs in commercials??? :doh: That post was particularly moronic due to the fact that MJ was probably the most recognized athlete in the world and at a greater level than kobe or Lebron RIGHT NOW because of his endorsement EMPIRE built on his charisma, looks, achievement and persona.

Never said he wasn't one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. Still, that doesn't mean he comes off well in the commercials he does. He has some really stupid facial expressions in some of those commercials. And some, like the Hanes one, are just plain dumb. Quit sniffin' Mike's shorts, dude. He was probably the greatest player of all time. But he isn't great at everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, that doesn't mean he comes off well in the commercials he does. He has some really stupid facial expressions in some of those commercials. To be fair, most of MJ's commercials have been pretty good, but when you take a basketball out of his hands, things get a little dicey. That Hanes commercial is difficult to watch. I just can't imagine the folks involved in the making of that ad being especially satisfied with the outcome. "Yep. Lots of banal, goofy glances executed in an awkward manner between two people that should never be in a commercial together. Just what we wanted. That'll sell some underwear."

Chachie Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I don't even think Jordan and Bacon had to shoot their scenes together or even on the same day. The whole thing looks like blue screen and editing. MJ may not have even known who was going to star opposite him in the commercial. (Totally off the point, of course.)
