| Kevin Butler actor sued by Sony LINK quote: RIP funny arse Playstation commercials. My Favorite 2nd favorite Reply • Back to Top |
| when was the last time he did a playstation commercial? PS Move? I thought he was long gone long ago. Reply • Back to Top |
| This is Bush League by Sony. Unless there is something in his contract, this is a joke. Reply • Back to Top |
| The very idea that Sony suggests that because actor Jerry Lambert is handling a Wii peripheral (that is not mentioned by nor is it the basis of the ad) would create confusion among consumers is insulting. I know that Sony has to protect their investment but at the cost of underhandedly insulting the market is pretty low. If you have read Sony's release on this issue you know exactly what I am referring to. The idea that if you saw the actor Jerry Lambert on TV with any other electronic device in his hand other than a Sony product, you would become confused. Bull shite. Reply • Back to Top |

| I did get a case of vertigo when I saw Lambert using a Wii, I was so confused and Sony is looking out for me Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Doesn't necessarily mean there is anything in his contract to prevent him from doing what he did. IF there is, I would not see how Lambert wouldn't have known that.  Reply • Back to Top |

| Meh, I think it's a stupid move by Sony. Nobody even picked up on it, and they are losing their best commercials. Reply • Back to Top |
| I mean if it is in his contract i agree, but since we dont know if it is, what is your reasoning? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Not so fast. Nothing wrong with what he did. I bet the contract said Kevin Butler couldn't be in any other commercials. It makes no sense that Jerry Lambert can't appear in any other commercial ever. quote: Reply • Back to Top |
quote: No they shouldn't Reply • Back to Top |
quote: So they are saying it's okay for him to appear in a similar role to Kevin Butler as long as his name isn't shown as Kevin Butler? I highly doubt only the name Kevin Butler was in his contract. Kevin Butler might not speak in the commercial, but Lambert does. Original Commercial This post was edited on 10/9 at 10:16 pm Reply • Back to Top |
quote: so you have someone under contract to promote your product in national advertising and they show up in another commercial pimping your direct competitors system? that's never going to work out well for the actor. guaranteed they had a no compete clause in the contract that probably extended several years past his contract with sony. corporations don't play around with that sort of thing and him and/or his agent should have known better.
