View Full Version : Dude, You're getting a Cell!
Brian Damage 02-10-2003, 04:52 PM I saw this on the internet today about the Dell Computer dude.
NEW YORK — Benjamin Curtis, better known as "Steven," the Dell Computer pitchman,
was arrested Sunday night for marijuana possession, a misdemeanor, according to New
York City police.
Curtis, a 22-year-old actor famous for the phrase, "Dude, you're
getting a Dell," had not been arraigned and was still being held,
according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
The Web site TheSmokingGun.com quoted police sources as
saying Curtis was holding a "small bag of marijuana" when he was
arrested near the corner of Ludlow and Rivington
streets on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
The Dell Dude's agent, Bonnie Schumofsky, had no comment until
"we know what's going on."
Doesn't surprise me, he looks like a stoner.
*PinkLady* 02-10-2003, 04:56 PM Seems like it happens to everyone famous, although the Dell guy is kind of a surprise.

Brett Ferino 02-10-2003, 08:54 PM NEW YORK - Dude, you're getting busted!!!
The actor who gained fame and a cult following as the slacker "Steven" in commercials for Dell computers was arrested buying a small bag of marijuana, police said.
Benjamin Curtis, a 22-year-old New York University drama student, was arraigned Monday on a misdemeanor drug possession charge. The charge assumes a suspect is not carrying more than a "use amount" — enough to roll several marijuana cigarettes.
Police said he was arrested Sunday night on the Lower East Side after officers on a drug detail spotted him buying a small bag of marijuana from Omar Mendez, 19. Mendez faces drug sale and possession charges.
Curtis' portrayal of a surfer type who proclaims, "Dude, yer gettin' a Dell!" drove up computer sales and spawned T-shirts, caps, and backpacks, along with Web sites and online fan clubs.
At the arraignment, Criminal Court Judge Ellen Coin advised Curtis that his case will be dismissed, and his record expunged, if he avoids arrest during the next year.
Asked if he understood, Curtis said, "Yes, ma'am."
Outside court, Curtis' lawyer, James Moschella, said: "We are confident that at the appropriate time, the charges will be dismissed."
AllIWantIsYourClutch 02-10-2003, 09:21 PM HOW MANY TOPICS DO WE HAVE TO HAVE ABOUT THIS?!?!?!?!?!
Brett Ferino 02-10-2003, 09:24 PM wha???
Brian 02-10-2003, 09:40 PM There have already been several other topics about this. Next time, look before you post, there wasn't a lot of threads to browse through.
DarleneIllyria 02-10-2003, 09:49 PM Damn, I wanted him to return to them Dell ads. They prob. won't take him back now. I still hate those interns. I'll leave it at that because I could make this whole post into a bash post towards those interns. Why did you go and get caught, Steve? :(

ThomasE 02-11-2003, 01:50 AM Man, don't we have any good role models on TV that have not screwed up? BTW it is good to be back on the boards. I have not posted in a few weeks due to an eye infection. It is great to have my eyesight back and posting again.
Janice 02-11-2003, 01:51 AM Good going Brian. Jay Leno said, "Dude, you're getting a cell." in his monolog tonight, but you wrote it here first today.
You should be a comedy writer. ;)

Sitcomwriter 02-11-2003, 02:08 AM They talked about this an hour ago on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" which also broke the "breaking" story that Kelly Clarkson appeared in a gay porno ;) :p

I agree with Janice. You should look into comedy groups and become a writer. You can think up great jokes. :)
ShakiraRox 02-11-2003, 05:24 PM Yeh heard about that. That's something,eh?
"Dude, you're getting your contract terminated."
Chocoholic 02-11-2003, 06:03 PM I always thought he was kinda cute.
ShakiraRox 02-11-2003, 06:15 PM I saw this too! Incredible!
Sam Malone 02-11-2003, 08:55 PM DUDE!!! He's going to jail!!!
In New York possession of less than an ounce of marijuana results in a civil citation. No jail time--$100.00 fine. Big whoop.
