    I heard the ads with Julia Allison in them were Web-only, and she wasn't in any of the ones broadcast on television.

    Is that wrong? Hamilton, do you know for a fact that this one was broadcast on TV, not just posted on the web?

    Just curious ... #advertising

    I've never seen this commercial before. Does it even play in the U.S.? Besides from that, it is a very odd commercial. Why was she even up there? And why didn't the "Can you here me now" guy get to say anything? Odd indeed. #advertising

    She's become the female version of the Mac Guy.

    Minus the annoying not-quite facial hair.

    Dude, I watch sports obsessively, which is the only time these ads are ever aired, and she is not in the tv edit. Maybe this version airs on, like, Oxygen, I guess, so I shouldn't be so strongly dismissive but ads only count when they're shown on Fox NFL Today. It is weird that they forced poor Peyton Manning to sit next to her though. The one with the cartoon characters from "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" sitting with Peyton and Justin is way better because what the HELL is going on in that one? #advertising

    Fankly, Justin Timberlake comes across vastly more dorkumonguous than Miz Julia. In the old days A-listers had the decency to shill exclusively on Japanese TV. This is kind of a step up for her and a tumble down for him. #advertising

    I'm not really sure who could be to blame other than you guys--at the risk of repeating something I'm sure you hear all too often, I've never heard of her outside this site, so...yeah.

    Also, I've seen this commercial a zillion times and never noticed her. Is this a special Gawker.tv cut or something? #advertising

    Not necessarily allowed to sit next to real live famous people. More likely green screens were used, and she was nowhere near the actual famous people. #advertising

    Julia
    (Maybe Gawker’s right. Maybe there is something the matter with me.
    I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.)

    Look at this stuff
    Isn't it neat?
    Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
    Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
    The girl who has everything?
    Look at this trove
    Treasures untold
    How many wonders can one tacky loft hold?
    Looking around here you think
    Sure, she's got everything
    I Tumblr and Twitter a-plenty
    I've got pink dresses and cupcakes galore
    You want satin headbands?
    I've got twenty!
    But who cares?
    No big deal
    I’m a boooooooooooore

    I wanna be where the famous are
    I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
    Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
    Oh - shoes!

    Twittering Tweets, you don't get too far
    Shaved legs are required for jumping, dancing
    Sucking down lotsa - what's that word again?
    Oh – booze!

    Up where they walk, up where they run
    Up where there’s cameras, and shades in fake sun
    Wanderin' free – for a small fee
    Part of that world

    What would I give if I could live away from you Gawkers?
    What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand? (Next to Justin!)
    Bet'cha on TV they understand
    That Hiltons don't reprimand their daughters
    Proper women sick of swimmin'
    Backstage with the band

    And ready to know what the people know
    Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
    What's Valtrex and why does it - what's the word?
    Burn?

    When's it my turn?
    Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
    Out of NYC
    Wish I could be
    Part of that world #advertising
