    I adore Zooey. And although it’s such a random act of celebrity endorsement, I actually think this commercial is sort of cute. But the horrible song just ruins it. Ruins it I say!

    Why is this a sellout? She’s earning a living. She is an actress, that’s what they do. The movies make money for studios, the songs make money for record labels. I don’t see this as different or negative. I also really like the song.

    I <3 Zooey too. Maybe members of her family farm cotton? I doubt she needed this sort of work though, so it must have been a conscious choice, right? Am I cutting her too much slack?

    I don’t really understand why cotton needs to advertise at all. Did I miss some big cotton-related controversy after which sales of jersey-knit t-shirts plummeted to depths previously unknown? Also, am I the only one who giggles a little when she sings the word “cotton” in the song? “Cott-nnnnnnn!” It’s kind of a cute ad, but at the same time, it’s really surreal. It almost registers as one of those parody ads you’d see on Saturday Night Live, for Mom Jeans or something.

    I don’t remember the last time selling out looked or sounded so darling. I love Zooey. And I love cotton, too.

    so funny, the director that I am working with right now shot this spot. she was telling me about working with Z. She said she was a great person to work with.

    loved reading all of your mixed reviews and comments on this!!

    i love Zooey – her acting and her music. the song isn’t what’s disappointing – although the end is a bit cheesy – and the commercial is well shot. it’s the idea that someone so independent and off beat would endorse something as generic as Cotton. but just like Amy said, I guess everyone has their price.

    I just like seeing another snippet of the blue room that was featured in one of the last issues of Domino (tear). And of course I love every last outfit she wears in this too!
