Relax, dude... It's not like they're going to put him in charge of designing next generation processor architecture or anything, he's just there so he can show off his employee badge and generate publicity.

Interscope did it all for the nookie.

Maybe he can start performing during our quarterly updates. I'd totally start attending them again.

My son likes the sesame street song he does. that's about all I know about Will.i.am.

 

[dennilfloss]

What you gonna do with all that phone, all that phone inside them jeans?

 

[ultimatebob]

In defense of Intel, Polaroid already got Lady Gaga and Apple has Bono from U2. They have to move quick before all the popular artists are taken!

Personally, I'd go for J.Lo, because modern technology just doesn't have enough booty.

Seconded. Although it begs the question: is the world ready for that jelly?

 

[amddude]

wat

 

[halik]

Interscope did it all for the nookie.

 

[Kev]

They obviously made this move to compete with HP's hiring of T-Pain

 

[zinfamous]

they hired him b/c they figured he'd bring some premium trim into the office.

 

[FeuerFrei]

I think they meant "brand ambassador" rather than "director of creative innovation". Probably hired him for the chip on his shoulder.

What you gonna do with all that phone, all that phone inside them jeans?

:hmm: I'm gonna make it ring ring; make it ring

 

[TheNinja]

what kind of retarded name is will.i.am?

 

[Josh]

Is he better than Ajay Bhatt?

They could have at least picked someone who put out something creative or innovative within the last 10 years.
