Subject: Jimmy Dean dumped by Sara Lee
Written By: LyricBoy on 01/20/04 at 09:54 a.m.
On the newswires today, a Sara Lee spokesman confirmed that country crooner Jimmy Dean has been dropped as the promotional spokesman for "Jimmy Dean Sausage". Sara Lee Corporation purchased the Jimmy Dean brand several years ago.
Mr. Dean was dropped as the spokesman because Sara Lee feels that he does not appeal to the young housewife demographic to which they are marketing the product.
HOW STUPID IS THAT? You mean that they have a product named after Jimmy Dean, they are paying him for his name and likeness on the package, but he is not GOOD ENOUGH to actually be a spokesman?
Go figure.
