Buttered Johnny or Rotten Butter?
Perhaps the silliest thread ever. What d'ya think? "Selling out" or just having fun?

Looks like he had fun laughing all the way to the bank. Hey, more power to him!

John has always had a an eye for the ridiculous and definitely enjoys making money. I see this as self-satire, which I prefer to pretentious hair-shirt posturing. Definitely worth a good laugh!

Too funny-go get 'em Johnny

The great thing about the guy is that he as always been very SINCERE about being INSINCERE--even in the Pistols' heyday, he was very up-front about Swindling the Public. He could never "sell out", because he never claimed to be "in".

Very well put, Dan.

I have to admit to being somewhat horrified when I first saw this advert, but then saw the funny side. Got a lot of time for Mr Lydon- he even makes 'celebrity' reality shows almost watchable. Perhaps one of the more bizarre things I've seen him on was 'Judge Judy', when he was being sued by a temp drummer. Check YouTube for it- brilliant (I'd post a link but I'm at work and we aren't allowed YouTube access, just in case we use it as a useful resource...).
