Benjamin Curtis, the 22-year old actor who portrays the Dell Guy in those bothersome computer commercials, was arrested late last night (2/9) on a marijuana possession charge, The Smoking Gun has learned. According to cops, Curtis was holding a "small bag of marijuana" when he was popped on Manhattan's Lower East Side (at Ludlow and Rivington for you Gothamites). Curtis is currently being held in Central Booking and is scheduled to be arraigned later today in Manhattan Criminal Court. Curtis, who lives in lower Manhattan, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Bonnie Shumofsky, the actor's agent, said she was unaware of her client's bust when contacted this morning by TSG. (1 page)

[Pyrion]

Lock him in a room and throw away the room, for the love of all that's holy!

[UnBlinkingEye]

Dude! Your gettin a Dell Cell!

Funny comment! Bad law, pot should be legal.

[FoxGirl]

Dude! Your gettin a Dell Cell!

Clever! But, rats, I liked him. Sorry.

[Protagoras]

Dangerous criminal, he should be given life.

[Snowy]

Clever! But, rats, I liked him. Sorry.

I did too. It was his job it act annoying. I heard him interviewed, and he sounded surprising normal and dare I say level-headed.

[AppyPappy]

Here come the Libertarian church ladies.

[ChadGore]

Dude, you're getting time !

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

This should be bumped for everyone who thinks there is no justice!

[Protagoras]

Here come the Libertarian church ladies.

I see you were here first. What group do you belong to?

[dennisw]

I always new the guy was a stoner!!! Hhaha

[ChadGore]

Re: pot should be legal.

Funny comment! Pot is and has been illigal for a looong time and should stay that way. More addiction isn't a good thing.

[Xenalyte]

No justice, no peace!

[RCW2001]

I always said that that "Dude" looked stoned in his commercials...

[Pyrion]

Buy a Dell Stoner PC today.. the others are just to uptight...
All models aavailable from Home grown [Linux] to the highest quality columbia red [Windows XP Pro]..
Buy you favorite Dell and just toke along the information super highway...

[Protagoras]

I heard him interviewed, and he sounded surprising normal and dare I say level-headed.

That's crazy. Don't you know he is an enemy of the state? He's a drug crazed criminal who has violated everyone's rights. He's an actor to boot so he's probably a fruit. So let's kill em.

[NC Conservative]

Dude, you will get sodomized in jail

[AppyPappy]

The "lets have fun with this" crowd.

[Protagoras]

Buy you favorite Dell and just toke along the information super highway...

If you buy a Dell, you are supporting terrorism.

[ChadGore]

lol . . Dude you're getting a cell mate (named buba)

[MrLeRoy]

More addiction isn't a good thing.

Then we should ban alcohol, which is much more addictive than marijuana (according to Institute of Medicine figures).

[kinghorse]

Yeah imprisonment and anal raqpe seem like a punishment commensurate with the crime. The crime being he spent his money on unregulated stuff instead of BUD or MO.

Never, ever think you can outrun the long arm of the dollar.

[McCloud-Strife]

Dude, I plead not guilty

[Guillermo]

Rofl! witty

[dark_lord]

Special offer, this week only with your Dell desktop!

I didn't know it was legal to sell this stuff but I guess it is....

[SamAdams76]

Ever notice the way that the Dell dude talked? Sort of like Sean Penn in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. You know what I mean, people that go "Hey dude," and then giggle at the end of every sentence. I know people that use this voice inflection in real life and without exception, they are all stoners.

So I guess I can say that I'm not at all surprised. Looks like the Dell dude is going to get, like, a permanent vacation from his advertising gig. Like totally, dude.

[Protagoras]

The "lets have fun with this" crowd.

Cool. I'm in that group too.

I guess we have different ideas of how to have fun. I think it's fun to pimp the WODers.

[ken5050]

Remember the Apple commercials last year, using real people?..One teenager was so stoned..she could hardly talk....

[caa26]

If you buy a Dell you are supporting terrorism!

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

That's crazy. Don't you know he is an enemy of the state? He's a drug crazed criminal who has violated everyone's rights. He's an actor to boot so he's probably a fruit. So let's kill em.

.....er Tom, sometimes people just need to have a little fun ......

[rs79bm]

Yes, they call those fancy "tobacco" pipes. (yea right)

[babaloo999]

I always new the guy was a stoner!!! Hhaha

I thought so to. Seriesly, he must be some kind of looser.

[Protagoras]

I know people that use this voice inflection in real life and without exception, they are all stoners.

I think you have hit on a great way to fight the WOD. We don't need no stinkeen tests and such. We just arrest and imprison everyone who talks like that! Save a ton of money and we'll still get all the stoners.

"Mr. Dell Guy, I believe you know where the principal's office is."

[Theo]

No she wasn't. It was late at night when she was recorded, and she'd just taken her prescription allergy medicine. There's a lot out about her. She's a good kid, just tired....

[VadeRetro]

Steven, it's Mom. I've talked to a lawyer and he thinks you can get probation if you learn to sound like a 22-year-old instead of a 12-year-old between now and your court appearance. He says to be sure not to address the judge as "Dude."

[al_c]

Dude, you're goin' to jail.

[E Rocc]

Oh like this is sooooooo against the image he is portraying. LOL
