Guest bravesfan Report post Posted February 10, 2003 NEW YORK (Feb. 10) - Dude! 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, awaited arraignment Monday on a misdemeanor drug possession charge. 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' agent, Bonnie Shumofsky, had no immediate comment on the arrest. 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.

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted February 11, 2003 This guy is an absolute tool. He's in a few classes with one of my friends at Tisch. He has his own business card and hands it out to girls. I chuckle at this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted February 11, 2003 Steve's commercials started growing on me after I was subjected to the sucktitude that is The Dell Interns. Apparently business cards weren't the only thing Steve was handing out lately... "Dude, you're on probation!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted February 11, 2003 He had charges dropped, provided he stays out of trouble for a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted February 11, 2003 OK -- time to clear the air, again. Yes, it was a measly pot charge. Yes, we knew he was going to get a slap on the wrists. Yes, we knew the only thing that will hurt on him would be his pride from getting embarrassed, not his anal from gang rape in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Spoil Sports...

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 13, 2003 It's not that much of a stretch, although I would never want to smoke up with Carrottop. I think I'd be forced to throttle him into the great beyond, even in that rather docile state of mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MD2020 Report post Posted February 13, 2003 Damn. My conscience is getting the better of me. I stole that joke from some guy on fark.com. He or she should get all of the credit. However, since I stole it in the first place, I have no problem with y'all stealing it and using with friends and loved ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
