Seriously, Lay Off This Chick

I must have seen this face a few thousand times in the past year or so. And sometimes with that blonde gonad who is supposed to represent the handsome popular guy at school: "They ended up together!?!". Beside the fact that it's just kind of mean and shitty as an ad, we've seen it for-fucking-ever it seems. Either come up with a new CONCEPT, or pick a new uglychickposterchild for your pic.
And classmates.com, PLEASE let up on the Spam YOU BASTARDS!

After reading this...... I take massive pride in the fact that I flunked calculus in College....I want no part of the High School Re-Union "Where are they now?" theme.....If anything....I ran as far away as I could from this shit.......

I think that chick is Brian Warner AKA Marilyn Manson. Don't be hatin'!

*clapping* Thank you Steve! And ditto on the ad and the spam.

Bra-va!! It makes me wonder... where do they get these pictures and who in their right mind would want to be the "Ugly Poster Child"?
Posted by: LadyM | August 23, 2006 09:05 AM
NICE!!! You must of been reading my mind Steve!
Posted by: John | August 23, 2006 09:07 AM
I think Steve needs to put his H/S pic on that site, someone please photoshop that pic and email it to them...include a caption.
Crap back to work and I thought you were supposed to be working Mr. Isaacs. By all means your tour manager needs to. :P

Woah, I just came over here from myspace where that picture was glaring at me. I was confused for a second. Hope everything is going well Steve! You guys looked and sounded great on Kimmel, I'm glad I decided to go =)

OY! Picture Day, I knew I shouldn't let Isaacs and Navarro drive me to school today. Pass the Visine and Binaca.
Dorothy Hamill rocks!

Maybe the woman let herself get "uglied up", and gets residuals every time that ad pops. If she did, she'd be a kabillionaire.
Nice to see you the other day, you guys sounded stellar!

I couldn't agree more! Or the one where the dude had the rocker spikey hair and is now bald!?
Sigh...time to find a new campaign.

You mean, you don't think she's smokin'? That's one serious, sumptuous, hottie...
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

Must "have" not Must "of"!
Does that make me anal? Or drunk?
Sorry for wasting space...

LMFAO!

dude you are spot on... classmates.com ads are all over the fricken place, you just can't get away.
Myspace is terrible with the same ads over and over...
that darn "Scoop Back" ad and "Mate1 Intimate Dating" and the "True" dating site ads. Are they trying to tell me something or what?
Posted by: mortisha | August 23, 2006 09:28 PM
I saw an ad for the highschool I went to on myspace once....that was scary!!! I thought I was hallucinating, so I took a screenshot for proof (to myself).
Posted by: Abby | August 24, 2006 01:02 AM
Crap. They're using my HS picture AGAIN? Those bastards!
Anyhoo Sue, Kristen and I had the listening party at Snitch last night! It was great, made some new friends and saw some old ones! We had a trivia contest for prizes and played (One) over and over.
Let me tell you, the place was getting calls like crazy ALL DAY thinking you guys were coming to play. Though the stage is perfect for a nice acoustic set ;-) Ask VR, they all fit up there.
Anyway is was great! And I want to thank you very much Steve!!!! You are the BEST! :-D

Yea these are fairly annoying I must agree. My old highschool friend is actually the blond spiked-hair guy in these ads which I think is fairly amusing as well
Posted by: Brent | August 24, 2006 04:21 AM
Thanks to all that came out for the TPC Listening Party in NYC last night--we had an AMAZING time!!
Even Dave & Steve showed...sort of...see?

We made our own fun, let me tell you, the Asylum is aptly named!!
More details later, tired and at work.
Soo good to see all of you!
Love,
Sue
***STEVE***
A special thanks to you, we all agree you are the MAN!

Hey Steve, just got the record off itunes, would have been nice to buy the actual thing but for some reason it's taking a while to come to Australia. Anyway the point is I love it and wanted to say good job buddy, and any chance you guys are going to come to Australia at all??
P.S - You have to!

mother?!?!?!
Posted by: kevin | August 24, 2006 07:22 AM
on further inspection...
I really think that picture is the woman who sits in the cube behind me. For real.
If it is her and classmates.com have been using her picture in spam then I say "good"! Because she listens to my personal phone conversations and told me ouiji boards were evil.

Isaacs, you are a Web slinger, are you not? What beyond HTML/XHTML should an aspiring designer learn? As a designer yourself, what core skills do you recommend acquiring?
Posted by: Brian | August 24, 2006 06:56 PM
You totally know that chick ended up on Jenny Jones on one of her "I used to be a geek, but now i'm super chic" episodes, where basically the ugly girl just bleached her hair blonde, got implants, and became a total slut.
Posted by: Six7Six7 | August 24, 2006 07:10 PM
Haha! You're cute when you're angry.
Posted by: Jenn | August 25, 2006 07:42 AM
Hey Steve...met ya last night at MTV!! You are one fine man!! Personality, talent and Looks!!!
You mentioned your girlfriend and that sweet Digital Camera....don't worry I'm sure you've made it up to her since!!!
Tell me though..whats your birthday?!?! How old are ya??
=)
Got a sweet pic of you my friend and I...will gladly send to you if you like ..although the girl that took the pic wasn't still as it was a tad blurry!!!! BOO

Steve - ya legend!!!
Saw you at MTV and at the Edge. You've got a heart of gold and the voice of Sweet Jesus!... can I blaspheme here? (hail mary, hail mary, hail mary - just in case *wink*)
I thought the album was great but seeing you sing acoustically was beyond my expectations. Simply STELLAR!
I say this on behalf of all Torontonians - PLEASE come back soon!... ah heck, put us down for two shows!
P.S. I agree with Tracy ^ - wouldn't mind seeing your mug photoshopped in that Classmates ad -ha!

Hello from Brisbane, Australia Steve. I love reading your blog and am wondering if we will ever see the Panic Channel Down Under? The songs are kick ass buddy.

hahahaha "Tommy meets the shaggy dog" hahahaha
You cracked me up!
Posted by: Robin | August 26, 2006 03:19 PM
Hi I'm a newbie here but wanted to say a) I love the CD and b)thanks for coming up to Toronto. I saw you at the Edge and was really impressed with the amount of time you spent with people during the break. Looking forward to seeing/hearing more.
Posted by: Caroline | August 26, 2006 08:17 PM
I saw you guys on Much Music and MTV up here - when did you get the new tattoo (or did I just forget entirely)? Looks awesome - you guys HAVE to tour up here once you get going on that (especially to the city of Calgary - you definitely won't regret it!)
Posted by: Dave | August 26, 2006 09:47 PM
Crying with uncontrollable laughter!! Glad to see someone's sticking up for her finally - she's your biggest fan now Steve :D !! And remember, she's HOT now!
Posted by: Shell | August 30, 2006 01:43 PM
I totally agree! It was eerie to see it especially because it looks like one of my aunts. And so, it started a very strange thought process...Poor girl! Hope she's not alive anymore to be experiencing this -and THANKS for calling him a gonad!

Robin: blonde spikey haired guy in ad=Ryan?? I have been seeking validation on this issue all over the web. Its driving me crazy. He was my boyfriend in HS!
