When Fame Catches Up

This weekend, I've seen one of the most disturbing things in recent memory. Burger King has started running adverts with Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, dressed up like a rhinestone cowboy, peddling tendercrisp bacon cheddar ranch sandwiches. If it weren't so painful to see someone who I've seen twice in concert reduced to such a spectacle, it would be almost entertaining. (And that includes sitting through Jordan Knight (former New Kid) and Ninety-Eight Degrees (Jessica Simpson's husband plus three other guys).

Say it ain't so, Darius. Say it ain't so.
