My current obsession is https://www.cameo.com/
You can pay C/D-list celebrities to record a short video for you. Most of these are birthday greetings and such. A lot of them are amusing just cause these people are clearly hard up for cash, and trying to channel their sincere energy.. to varying degrees of success.
Here's a fav: Wesley Snipes still cashing in on Blade - https://www.cameo.com/v/uulMdnbb6
If you find other good uns, link em here

Some guys were having a Biodome watching party on 4/20 and hired Pauly Shore to say hi to them, and he kinda can't remember his lines from the movie: https://www.cameo.com/v/Wo8HcDGoe
Kevin McDonald, of Kids in the Hall, looks like he could really use that $30: https://www.cameo.com/teaguy1
The kid from that internet meme? https://www.cameo.com/gavinthomas -- genuinely looks like he's having the most fun out of anybody on the site

For $50, Ernie Hudson will put on his Ghostbusters outfit for you: https://www.cameo.com/v/FdW2L-5kB
this site is so depressing
Is this the peak of late-stage capitalism? Has-beens and also-rans whoring their waning pop culture recognition for a pack of smokes and a tank of gas? Or can it get worse before people start to react?
You hear about the gig economy and shit but this takes that and laughs at it. My god.
For $75, we could get Roger Stone to read our Terms of Service out loud. As a service to newbies.
unfortunately, the money would go to Roger Stone. And the biggest drawback is that we'd have Roger Stone reading our forum Terms of Service out loud.

Who is the most depressing presence you can find on the site?
My top pick so far is the guy who played Zordon in the Power Rangers: https://www.cameo.com/the_real_zordon
They have Kevin Conroy on there.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Gilbert Godfrey at $150?
Rod Blagojevich, felon and former governor of illinois...

How sad must it be -- to have had so much power, and then to find out your name is worth 3x less than a guy doing impressions of Joe Exotic.
This could be great for job interviews. "Here's some testimonials - watch these videos"
My boss is a figure skating super-fan. Me and my team are throwing in to get him birthday greeting from Nancy Kerrigan. It's gonna blow the top off his gourd.
Rachel Dolezal....?? who the fuck wants a birthday greeting from Rachel Dolezal?!

Also, I think every single person who's been on RuPaul's Drag Race is somewhere on this site.
If anyone should be reading the PD terms of service is should be Tommy Chong.

You mean we can get Bianca Del Rio to read anything we want???
:fap:
Bianca is not on there.
I will say this much, my dad turned 81 in May, and lives 2 hours away from me. I don't own a car. He has always been pretty difficult to buy for. One of his favorite musicians is on there for $60. I hired her to speak to him for a couple minutes and he cried because he loved it so much. So, it has its uses.
yeah, my team at work threw in, and we got my boss a birthday greeting from his favorite athlete. When we told him what we got him (on a zoom call), his voice went up two octaves, it was adorable.

Booked, he may very well reject it, but we'll see
Oh my fucking god
(https://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/Smileys/default/emot-hawaaaafap.gif)
Lets see what he comes back with, he could just tell us to fuck off because most of these videos are <1 minute long and I've requested something closer to a five minute oration.
If he says he'll do it at the higher cost (500$ is listed for the ten minutes zoom), I'd still like to do it, but I might pass around the hat.
Will keep you posted, it says he responds within four days
We only got the first paragraph, but it was like the voice of an angel to my ears

If others want to buy the rest go for it
I'm jizzing from my tear-ducts right now
Better than the other way around
this is the best thing that has ever happened
WOW.
DAMN.
Hot shit! That's so great :lol:
:eek: :fap:
... ok. I'm gonna do some pretty shady shit anyway. When I have my cash up I agree to help fund this new ontological terrorist cell. Gilbert is just the beginning. LOTS of different celebs reading excerpts and intentionally disseminated in these dire times would put a whole lot of ERIS in the water pretty quick!
:lulz:
I, uh, may know some peeps.

PD.COM bankrolls celebrity SWAP.avi in 3... 2... 1... :evil:
You can sort by price. As glorious as Gilbert is, for the same cash you could have reams of beautiful nonsense read out by no names mashed together.
Not even our shit, I'm thinking xenu and watch the fun.
it would make a great advertising like cut. where a bunch of celebs read from the pd the sb, have it set to wistful music.
stormy daniels, then rod blagojevich...followed by jizmak da gusha, then idk marla maples?
Instead of Gilbert gottfried get a bunch of Z listers to read the whole brag of the sub-genuis 200 words at a time and assemble it
two words: holy scripture drag queen smash cut
Somebody got Lt. Riker Frakes to do this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE63y7ctAwA) joke from the Simpsons: https://www.facebook.com/groups/StarTrekShitposting/permalink/2417562618548057/
Let's say, hypothetically, that the seventies was a good decade for American cinema. Consider America's three top actors from then on out, yup those, then remember that Bobby just "does his thing" and I haven't seen him in years so essentially not him. The other two; I'm going to put a call (email) in today. Will this mean dealing with dark forces, yes. Is that a problem, no. It's just like how it goes at the beginning of blood simple.
These incoherent replies are really annoying. Maybe you're trying to say something, but it's not coming through. Please put more effort into communication.
