Congratulations, as someone who’s never heard of that photo, this is officially the most random (yet intriguing) headline i’ve ever seen in Reddit history.

Wow this is so random! I… think I actually remember that picture oh man wth. Of course Jason Alexander doesn’t remember!

With all due respect, business wise it would be pretty stupid for someone getting that much press to basically do free publicity for a billion dollar brand without getting anything in return (couple gifts don’t count).
I can totally understand why the other people mentioned in the article would just skip the room.

For you, the day Jason Alexander graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for him. it was a Tuesday.
A couple friends wound up playing with a sorta famous musician on stage at a media awards show.
The description of the Swag Bags/grab bags stations backstage made it seem a bit hectic. Famous actors and such grabbing up anything they could get, and companies giving away tons of expensive shit free so that famous people are seen with it.
You get a lot of free stuff when you are rich.

You’d think for the article, the news site would actually buy the photo so they could have an unwatermarked version. But nope! They just linked to the photo on Gettyimages.
Weird.

Hate sites that make you either give them cookies or make you sign a 36 page contract to not do it. Just don’t read the article out of hate. Thanks to the person who just linked to the image.

You can tell from the look on his face that he’s thinking, “Can you believe these controls? A *strafe button*? WHAT IS THIS, WOLFENSTEIN 3D?”

From the “celebrity photographer”:
>
“I look at that photo now and I know he wasn’t happy. I can just tell. Here’s the thing about it: when you do these gifting lounges and the products that these people have, I’ve had Academy Award winning actresses where I feel stupid saying, ‘Could you please hold up this toothbrush for this sponsor?’
>”They look at me like, ‘No’. You just feel like an idiot, but that’s your job. [The brands] want a photo with their product. More and more as the celebrities caught onto this, they wouldn’t even show up. They would just send their handlers in to gather everything up and take it to them, because they say it’s too embarrassing for them.”
does this fuckwit have no self awareness at all?
