You're welcome.

• [Boba Fett Diop]

  You know, when I want investment advice, the first person I always turn to is a NIGHT ELF MOHAWK!

  • [mdh]

    win.

• [Brainspore]

  Some people wear their political leanings on their sleeves. Others wear their investment portfolios around their necks.

• [Loraan]

  Oh my fucking Bob. A half-rate actor is pushing a third-rate “investment” from a fourth-rate company on what’s supposed to be a first-rate “news network.”

  Tell me again how Old Media deserves to live?

• [Teller]

  Even if the tagline isn’t “Sell me your gold, suckah” it is anyway.

• [Swizzlebat]

  Would that make pyrite “I pity the fool’s” gold? But seriously, I’m sorry to see T’s mohawk is looking sort of thin and Kim Jong Il-ish these days. Still full of the old nonsense, though. {Slapping thigh in hearty amusement} O-ho-ho-ho: Mr. T!!

• [Antinous / Moderator]

  What’s with his hair? He’s starting to look like a troll doll.

  • [Brainspore]

    Let’s face it, the dude is getting old. He’s also been through chemotherapy. Neither of those factors is kind to a lustrous ‘fro.

    • [Antinous / Moderator]

      Yeah, but it used to be two inches long and now it’s like a foot.

      • [Brainspore]

        Or maybe the fro is the same size and he’s starting to shrink.

• [scifijazznik]

  I pity the fool’s gold.

• [batu b]

  Sucks. His talent and existence could be directed to such good use.

• [Anon022]

  I pity the foo that doesn’t sell Mr T their gold.

• [hdon]

  “Don’t tell them that you’re free. You can’t be free yet.”

  What did that suit mean by that?

• [Attack Hamster]

  Reminded me of this geezer who sent them a load of tat sprayed with gold paint:

  America, the land where your fellow citizen will kick you even when you’re down. To explain: I figure that when in the US something is being marketed at this level, it indicates the end of the bubble, and time to sell.

  • [Anonymous]

    This is just the bubble getting started. The bubble is over when everyone in this comment thread is talking about how much they’ve made on gold so far, and how they’re all quitting their jobs to buy and sell gold full time.

• [Ugly Canuck]

  Gold! Gold!

  A song , just for the rush…

  …of gold…give me your gold…give it to me… you’ve got that nugget in your hand in your head…gold!!

• [Anonymous]

  The Inca and Maya did not have any interests in gold, the actually valued obsidian and jade above other things. To them gold was a simple metal.

• [Broken Window]

  Sell your gold to mr. T, while you can. The next QE will make the dollar so much stronger. Honestly.

• [IPFREELY]

  Mr. T Beck?

• [boingboingdave]

  so tired of worn out celebrities pitching sleazy gold mail in/check loan/etc businesses. i expect this from arsenio hall and montel williams, but mr t? say it aint so

• [Johnny Justice]

  Didn’t Mr. T stop wearing all those chains out of respect for the less fortunate?

  • [Ugly Canuck]

    His chains are a statement about slavery – I thought.

  • [License Farm]

    It was my recollection that Mr. T stopped wearing his chains after witnessing the effects of Hurricane Katrina, & suddenly being humbled to stop flaunting his wealth after seeing the suffering of others. Guess empathy only goes so far towards a new BMW.
