that's interesting they're already filming commercials with joss. Isn't he very unlikely to make the slopestyle team at this point based on the FIS points or whatever they're called?

I agree I don't blame them, fuck if I could make a cheesy ad and get paid for it a would. What you said is very true though, he's a rolemodel for a lot of people and is making a good influence.

The Joss Bounty spot is hilarious. From the bad green screen, to the bad wardrobe, to the bad editing, to the bad music, to the bad copywriting... it's clear that they were going for a light stupid tone. If you try to go serious with these things, they turn out bad (look, Joss Christensen doing legit Bounty commericals is a bit of an eye roller). But if you overdo the bad and make fun of yourself, it's funny. They nailed it.

On the other hand, Gus is in a more tricky position. He's constantly going to be surrounded by hot button issues that demand a level of seriousness. Serious + freeskiing + mainstream haven't historically done very well.
