Image you're the type to buy a "celebrity owned" Range Rover from Craigslist. Man, is your life fucked up! What is wrong with you? Do you think that just because a Seattle celebrity owned that thing before you that it somehow makes your life more interesting? Is it alpha to own such a vehicle, to sit with your ass in the seat that was occupied by our most embarassing athletic figure? Is it going to help you get laid? Is it going to help you close some kind of deal? Is it going to pay for itself in new accounts inside of year? Or are you going to take a bath on it and not even care because you got to be the guy who bought and sold and took a bath on Brian Bosworth's Range Rover? More power to you. Drive proud. Enough about you. In this Craigslist ad and the accompanying eBay auction, why is the fact that Bosworth owned the vehicle a selling point? And more importantly, how is Brian Bosworth still rolling in a Range Rover? Apparently the old rock star linebacker to classic 80's poster material to movie star to best-selling author to (big drop here) speaker at corporate events career path still pays out after all these years. We'd 'a thought he'd be in something a little more...practical by now. We'll let you know when that one appears on Craigslist: "2001 Civic / Celebrity Owned."

Here's another entry in the categories of "Until There is a Portlandist" and "Seattlest Has a One-Track Mind." An AP article making the bloggity blog blog rounds has dug up a swath of indie bands telling Hummer to go stick it in their 10MPG gas pipe and smoke it. Hummer ad execs, while drinking designer vodkas and wondering how they could be as hip as that Cohen kid on the O.C., must have picked up on the recent trend of using less well-known "indie" songs to sell shit these days. Unfortunately for them, they are much, much dumber than indie musicians, and Seattlest is thankful for that.
