For reasons I can not fully articulate that man annoys the living s--t out of me.

I agree! Of all the kid actors on "That 70's Show", he was the one I least suspected would make it big. And then when he became cougar bait, I figured Die Hard was first going to rip his head off and crap down his neck (or some other line from the movie) and that it would ruin his career. Neither of which happened. Clearly I have no idea how the world works.

On the subject of camera's and TV shows, did anyone see the 2 hr Mad Men the other night? Don gives his neighbor a brand new Leica M2 in the box and says he's 100's of them in the closet. There's just no justice in this world.... :p

Perfect for his role in that 70's show. Absolutely hilarious. But anywhere else, he's an annoying man who doesn't deserve quite the amount of fame he's getting from across the board.

Clearly, you and I both!

Because, yes... When Demi Moore - goddess among women - and... and... *he* got married I swear I felt a tiny piece of my immortal soul wither and die. I didn't even know such things were possible. Unfortunately, even when Demi sobered up and they subsequently divorced, the damage had already been done. Not even several, and I do mean *several*, viewings of "Disclosure" could manage a repair.

The fact *he* has what must be a very lucrative contract with Nikon only reinforces my suspicion Life is not only unfair but cruel and mischievous in its intent.

In the meantime, he is reading Nikonites and getting upset at what he is reading. Oh wait... no he isn't, because he does not give a rats behind who we are or what we say, lol. He's laughing at us all the way to the bank ;)

I for one never understood why they used that wagon to attempt to sell product. I don't think these "celebrity" endorsements do anything for sales.
If the product is that good you don't need some overpaid jackass to "pimp" it to the public. Look at a product like GoPro, do they use "celebrities" to sell their stuff? Not that I have seen.
Nikon should use someone like Nikki Sixx. A celebrity that actually knows how to shoot photos!
I am more likely to "listen" to someone that actually knows something about a camera and not some wagon that wouldn't know how to turn the knob on anything out of auto.

I agree, there are plenty of talented actors/actresses who are excellent photographers. I just attended a showing of Jessica Lange's photography at the MOPA here in San Diego (Jessica Lange: unseen | Museum of Photographic Arts) and I know that Jeff Bridges presents all the cast and crew at the end of any of his movies with a book of his photographs. I saw the set of photographs from "The Dude" that were awesome, one in particular of him sliding down the bowling alley.
Here's a link to Jeff Bridges' work. He's a damn good photographer and uses an old DRL camera and shoots only film (at least when I last read about his work he hadn't moved to digital) JeffBridges.com Photography

But back to Ashton, yes, they could have easily picked up a celebrity who actually *is* a photographer instead of this bozo.
