Dell dude headline watch

I’m sure you’ve heard. The guy that does those “Dude, you’re getting a Dell” TV commercials got busted here in NYC for buying pot in a kilt. I’m told the pot buying part is the illegal activity, not the kilt-wearing. Anyway, anyone with column inches in a magazine, newspaper, or weblog fell all over themselves trying to come up with the worst “dude, you’re getting…” jokes. A sampling for your “enjoyment”:

Dude, you’re getting a cell.
Dude, you’re getting off with a warning.
Dude, you’re getting arrested.
Dude, you’ve been busted.
Dude, you’re getting a blunt.
Dude, you’re getting a record.
Dude, you’re getting a rap sheet.
Dude, you’re under arrest.
Dude, you’re getting busted.
Dude, you’re getting some weed.
Dude, you’re getting lots of PR.
Dude, you’re getting a dime bag.
Dude, you’re getting off easy.
Dude, you’re getting raped in jail.
Dude, you’re getting a cavity search.

I’m sure everyone is just getting warmed up for when Ashton Kutcher gets nicked. I sense a thousand “Dude, where’s my pot?” jokes itching to escape word processors everywhere.
