Dell Dude in Pot Bust
From <a href="http://www.theSmokinggun.com/archive/delldude1.html" target="_blank">www.theSmokinggun.com</a> :
Hey, dude, you're getting a cell! Benjamin Curtis, the 22-year old actor who portrays the Dell Guy in those bothersome computer commercials, was arrested late last night (2/9) on a marijuana possession charge, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to cops, Curtis was holding a "small bag of marijuana" when he was popped on Manhattan's Lower East Side (at Ludlow and Rivington for you Gothamites). Curtis is currently being held in Central Booking and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in Manhattan Criminal Court. Curtis, who lives in lower Manhattan, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Bonnie Shumofsky, the actor's agent, said she was unaware of her client's bust when contacted this morning by TSG. (1 page)
I guess he had to be high in order to recomend Dell products on national TV.

you'd have to be a pot head to do those ads in the first place
Dude your getting a shaft.
flick.
<strong>It never fails to amaze me that some people can't disassociate annoying characters from the actors who portray them. The fact that Ben Curtis is yet another victim of our country's arcane and oppressive drug laws is hardly funny, or deserved, regardless of how much you may want to punch "the dell dude" in the face (and I do, believe me.)</strong><hr></blockquote>
You can't give in and laugh for just a second?

"So I'm sitting there in the holding cell, thinking "oh man, I'm SO hosed". Anyway, my, uh, lawyer comes in to see me and he's, like, got this cool laptop. I asked him what it was and he said 'it's an iBook'. I was amazed. It looked really cool and everything too. He just opened it up and did some work right there. It was righteous! I used to think Dell computers were 'all that', but I don't know, man...dude, I think I'm getting a Mac!
I'm Benjamin Curtis. And, uh, I'm a pothead."
Honestly it would have been funnier if he were actually doing something wrong!
he was caught by a police officer buying pot. That is illegal. He was arrested doing something wrong. What part of illegal don't you understand?
