got milk ad, the real reason ed did it

**tommywho5150** · 11.27.06, 03:44 AM

firstly can i say that in the previous thread about the got milk ad you all ended up bashing ed al mike or sammy and totaly missed the point of the thread so with that in mind please keep it out of this.

many of you guys said that ed and al got paid to advertise milk, but from what i remember wasn't ed told he had to do it by a court because he tried to check a loaded gun onto a passenger plane. i think in his defence he said he was so used to flying private he forgot to take the gun out of his bag.
and i think he commented on his reasons for carrying a gun it was something like "if someone comes running up to my family and i think they're gonna harm them im prepared to shoot them first even if its just a fan being over enthusiastic" or words to that effect.

please correct me if im wrong, but please dont start bashing the past or present members of vh coz thats just not cool.

Ed did try and take a gun onto a plane (he did forget that it was in the bag...at least thats what he said) I thought that was in 95 or so the Milk Ad made some mention of Gary or a 3rd singer and changing singers a lot. I don't remember the Milk ad having anything to do with the Gun issue.

it could be the way it was reported over here in the uk, because at the time anything to do with rock music was deemed uncool (it still is pretty much)
so the uk press could have got the 2 stories confused and reported that doing the ad was some kind of comunity service order, like i said i could be wrong

LOL, no, Ed was not court-appointed to do the Got Milk ad because of the gun incident.

Community service penalties usually involve trash and highways, not endorsements for the dairy industry.

Agreed... it had nothing to do w/ the airport gun issue. It was just artsy popular at the time...

Oh and Dave has always had better firearms than Sammy!!!
