Dude! Yer busted for pot!
 

NEW YORK (Feb. 10) - Dude! The actor who gained fame and a cult following as the slacker "Steven'' in commercials for Dell computers was arrested buying a small bag of marijuana, police said.
Benjamin Curtis, a 22-year-old New York University drama student, awaited arraignment Monday on a misdemeanor drug possession charge.
Police said he was arrested Sunday night on the Lower East Side after officers on a drug detail spotted him buying a small bag of marijuana from Omar Mendez, 19. Mendez faces drug sale and possession charges.
Curtis' agent, Bonnie Shumofsky, had no immediate comment on the arrest.
Curtis' portrayal of a surfer type who proclaims, "Dude, yer gettin' a Dell!'' drove up computer sales and spawned T-shirts, caps, and backpacks, along with Web sites and online fan clubs.

All I have to say is :rofl:

Man, talk about appropriate. Even the Daily Show called him "Stoner Steve" a month or 2 back :D

lol...pretty funny....

A college student? Buying/smoking weed?... *gasp*

Really. This is news?

Wow... He is 22? Damn.. he looks younger

Haha... There goes his job. :lol:

They'll probably replace him with someone more annoying...




*shrugs and walks away*

Excellent! He was the second most annoying TV commercial guy in history. He irritated me so much that he made me want to actually stay away from Dells.

*prays for something to happen to Carrot Top*

that guy was a *** glad hes gone

Hmm... I wouldn't mind bunning with him one time though... That would be kinda trippy if he would start saying all that dell crap.. lol

Been there done that?

Correction Xanny, that should be 3rd most annoying TV commercial guy. We cant forget about the ''Can you hear me now'' guy.

Don't forget about the lady that is washing her hair with Herbal Essence and moans and groans as if she was...

I actually think Steve the Dell guy is more annoying. At least the Verizon Wireless guy isn't acting like a know-it-all.

That's true, but she still doesn't annoy me much. Maybe it's because she's marketing a product that's not aimed at me in the first place.

that is so friggin hilarious good post jon

"Dude yer gettin' handcuffs"

:lol: makes me wonder if he was stoned everytime he did the Dell commercials.:sneaky:

...:lol:

yah with the verizon wireless guy "can you hear me know"?

At the arraignment, Criminal Court Judge Ellen Coin advised Curtis that his case will be dismissed, and his record expunged, if he avoids arrest during the next year.


Asked if he understood, Curtis said, "Yes, ma'am."

Yep, he sure is gettin' a cell... :p

Makes me wonder if Dell will still use him in their commercials or they go looking for other people.....maybe a hot young surfer girl this time...:sneaky:

he Dell "D00d" deserved this, remebr he's helpinbg the "Evil Empire" known as Micro$oft, and hwe always sounded like he'd be a runer-up for a Sequal top "Dude, wher's my Car" which could ave been called "Dude, Where's my SUV" or "D00dz, Warez my Dell?"

The Verizon guiy isn't as bad, now if somone mentions the "TV Guy" from those Honda commercials I'm going to beqat you with a wet trout!
