Is There Marketing Life After Reality TV?
“Two different entities sought to solicit his services [for Super Bowl ad spots], but in my view, they were scared of TLC,” says attorney Mark Heller. “In my view, it was a mean-spirited act on [TLC’s] part.” (E! Online)
So far, it’s looking like the answer is no. Or at least, there’s no life after spending 3 years gaining a loyal and interested fan base, then ticking them off beyond comprehension by running around like a teenager experiencing mid-life crisis.
Yup, Jon has that formula down.
However, Jon has managed to get a couple takers wanting to slate him for Superbowl ad spots, but TLC moved quickly to block those deals from becoming reality. Jon’s shot at Superbowl fame went the way of his Ed Hardy children’s line and TV concept Divorced Dads.
Yesterdays dispositions went without a hitch. Kate Major was able to fill us in on the sad details of Jon’s hopes and dreams to promote motorcycles and stackable furniture, along with the clothing lines. I get the motorcycles, given the “bad boy” image Jon so desperately wants to convey, but why the stackable furniture?
Because nothing says “domestic convenience” like a teenage wannabe d-bag with multiple girlfriends.
BFF Michael Lohan told all in his deposition yesterday, much to the detriment of Jon’s case. He had plenty to tell regarding all the contract-breaching deals he and Jon made over the summer. Lohan himself already has put his money on a different horse, saying that he thought that TLC had a “strong case” and that he “definitely [didn't] think they’ll lose”.
Glad to know Jon has friends standing by him.
