Cash4Gold's Superbowl Ad Targets History Buffs With Mc Hammer And Ed Mcmahon
Cash4Gold's SuperBowl slot will feature a bunch of washed-up geezers talking about sending in their gold for cash, but unlike the company's previous creative, this time you'll recognize their faces. Yep, it's Ed Mcmahon and MC Hammer.
Their shilling might have more credence than the average celebrity endorsement; given the pair's financial troubles (Hammer burned through his multi-millions in just a few years, Mcmahon battled foreclosure), they probably have first-hand experience with Cash4Gold's services.

I thought Hammer was "too legit to quit". Now he is saying these gold prices are so high "you can't touch this" and get in on the boom in selling off heirlooms so you can eat. Mcmahon can only dream about the "glory days" of Publisher's Clearinghouse ads.
No wonder they are trying to buy people off from posting bad articles about them....
When I saw that in one of the comments for the last cash4gold post I thought it was a joke.
Mr. T wasn't available? Now THAT is your spokesman. I don't recall Ed McMahon running around with gold chains.
Also, Flavor Flav.
So, someone will appear to re-possess the commercial in the middle of its airing?
Perfect pitchmen.
At the least you have to give them credit for living up to their shortfalls.
@Saboth: Mr. T got morals. Mr. T got values. Mr. T don't do no business with no crazy sucka who robs people. Mr. T stands up for the little guy!
I invite anyone who has been ripped off by these people to google cash 4 gold and click through to their ads. Maybe you can help them burn through their marketing budget and this evil company will go away.
1749- Pirates come to you to steal your gold. Many transactions involve gunplay...
2009- You go to the pirates and ask them (politely) to steal your gold.
It's like the phone porn of the financial world- You do all the work and they make all the money. I just wish I had thought of it first...
If Ed Mcmahon had any gold left he would have already sold it to help save his McMansion.
It's sad to see Ed Mcmahon stoop to this level. Then again, if it keeps him in his house, I don't blame him. I'm not surprised hammer is doing it though.
Not to be a grammar nazi and a troll, but McMahon should be spelled Big M, little c, Big M.
Also, since I'm on nyquil, and not really coherent, this reminds me of when Olivia Munn pronounced MC Hammer as "McHammer"
What percentage of the gold that gets mailed to Cash 4 Gold is stolen? And can't the whole thing be brought down under RICO or some sort of aiding and abetting criminal acts-type regulation or statute?
Too bad Elliott Spitzer had a thing for high-priced call girls.
Can't someone PLEASE hijack the commercials during the SB/
Damn, THAT would be funny.
Well at least two people with financial problems found a way to get good money from these people.
