bigpoppanils Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 News > Funny Money> cnn.com Dude, you're getting a record Benjamin Curtis, star of Dell Computer ads, was arrested for allegedly attempting to buy pot.February 10, 2003: 3:38 PM EST NEW YORK (CNN) - Benjamin Curtis, better known as the "Dell Dude" from the computer company's television commercials, was arrested Sunday while he allegedly attempted to buy marijuana on Manhattan's lower east side. Curtis is in custody while awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court Monday, said a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office. The time of the arraignment has not yet been determined. Curtis was arrested at 11:30 p.m. Sunday on the corner of Ludlow and Rivington streets and charged with criminal possession of marijuana when an officer observed him making the purchase, said a police spokesman. Police said he was buying "a small bag" and was not being charged with intent to distribute. Curtis' agent, Bonnie Schumofsky, refused to comment on the arrest. Curtis, 22, was born in Chattanooga, Tenn., and is enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, according to Dell's Web site. He gained national recognition as "Steven," a hip teenager who convinces his parents, his friends' parents and random people at the mall to buy computers from Dell. The ad campaign was hugely successful for Dell, featuring Curtis' memorable catch phrase, "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgym Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I actually saw him at the Carl Cox show at the South Street Seaport last March. He was surely on x, and he talked just like he does on the commercials.Sounds like an annoying kid. What an idiot for getting caught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
