Because I am not real savvy on my Cornell interview trivia, I totally don't think I ever read the topics about him not wanting to appear for other products. If he�s spoken against such things it surely is funky on Broadway there.

Ugly consumerism aside, as long as no puppies were hurt in the making of the photos it's all-ok by me.

Oh, the use of the term "People" in tg's comment kinda implies that most people are of a like mind on a subject. I really don't think that is the case at all. And I won't be signing up for the �Cornell can do no wrong club� anytime in my future, because he's human and can make funky choices just as well as the next person.

I am personally a bit more concerned over some of the choices he's made with his band rather than him opting to be a human clothes hanger.

Oh sorry I should always say "some" people, because I wouldn't want to talk about all the peeps on the entire planet.

Sometimes I make that mistake when I go off on a rant, that I usually think goes ignored. I'll take my spanking now.

Stilly, I know you are not in the Chris "could do no wrong" group. I was talking about it in general, that's always been around him since he's been famous.

Stilly, I didn't mean to imply that I had heard him specifically say he wouldn't use his image to sell products. He just never did before. I assume he was approached (I assume all celebrities of his stature and attractiveness are), but he said no.

So I'm guessing he used to have some sort of policy about such things that caused him to say no in the past. Maybe not.

So none of us will be surprised when Chris does a GAP commercial. I wonder if he'll do it with the other guys in the band?

23, I didn't know cause I am the first to admit I am one lazy fan. I have missed a lot of articles over the years, and those I have read I wouldn't remember.

So I thought I could have missed that.

It doesn�t seem to jive with the youthful Cornell but sometimes that happens.

on a side note.... Von Dutch was a huge racist, who was said to repented in later days. But his good pals and some of my favorite artist like Robert Williams (who is single handedly responsible for the low brow movement) and artist Ed "Big Daddy" Roth (also from hot rod culture like Von Dutch) talked about it pretty extensively in an article.

Can't find the exact article, but here's a different one.
