Tug Speedman Named Panda Celebrity Of The Year
Filed under: film-tv, movies — michael @ 3:13 pm
There’s a hilarious bit of online viral marketing going on for Ben Stiller’s new movie Tropic Thunder, in which he plays superstar Tug Speedman (an obvious play on Tom Cruise). Take for instance this site for the Panda Relocation Foundation — which features Speedman posing for a mock-PSA. Then there’s this funny blurb from within, “Though reports show that the numbers of wild Pandas are on the rise, the World Conservation Association (PANDA) believes there is not enough certainty to remove Pandas from the endangered animal list.”
Nice acronym.
Show your love to Tug over on his official site. As he says on the welcome page, “I like to think of [this site] as a rad bridge, that lets my fans walk over all the mean stuff the internet says about me. Then, at the other end of the bridge, is all the cool stuff dudes say.” Well said.
Thank you - Ben Stiller - for this! You are my sunshine! Love you!
