ROB HALFORD IS IN A CELL PHONE COMMERCIAL… PLAYING A PRIEST!

 Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 at 2:00pm by

Thanks to the magic of my DVR, I don’t really watch commercials anymore — but as I was fast forwarding between breaks on The Daily Show yesterday, I thought I saw Rob Halford. And then my mind went, “Are you stupid? No way you just saw Halford. In what context would he be on a commercial?” But then another part of my brain was like, “You write a metal blog for a living, dummy, and you need shit to write about. Go back and make sure.” So I went back.

And guess what?

It is Halford!

Unfortunately, every other part of the commerical sucks. But that just means you can stop watching after the first five seconds.

    I was reading a book with the TV on last night and I actually thought i saw Rob Halford on this commercial, but i wasn’t really paying attention. Turns out i did!

    A different version of this commercial, with Mr. Halford’s clip in the middle, has been airing for well over a month now. Way to be on top of things.

      I know, I’ve been seeing this commercial for a while now and everytime I think: Is that Rob Halford? And then I think: Na, he’d never…
