Does Nike have a rooney spot lined up?
This is how they have attempted to rehabilitate basketball star LeBron James:

(Thanks, L.)
Now imagine the same ad but with Wayne in the starring role.
If we could get round his guaranteed inability to act I think it could be quite fun:
‘Should I pay less than £200 for a pack of smokes?’
‘Should I stop shagging granny whores?’
‘Should I urinate in the loo instead of the street?’
‘Should I apologise to Ryan and Paul for implying that they’re a pair of old wankers?’
‘Should I give the first shit about Colleen’s handicapped sister?’
‘Should I play well for any of the teams dumb enough to pick me over the past six months?’
‘Should I play better or continue to complain when people boo my boo-worthy performances?’
‘Nah. I’m Wayne and when it comes to whatever the fuck I want to do, I just do it.’
We’d need subtitles if Wayne did this.
That whole transfer saga (sorry Fergie) was concocted by Sir Alex to get more cash out of the Glazers (with Rooney in cahoots, obviously) .
And so what if he’s earning ¬£200k per week. If some idiot is happy enough to pay it, then fair play to the little fat Scouser.
like it, got some proper writing in it. none of this easy ‘lets use some star wars characters’ shit.
Do your job, score goals in The World Cup.
Hum. That was all nicely written and shot and everything, but what the fuck does it mean? Does it mean “I’m sorry” or “Fuck you”?
The funniest thing i find about this spot is it’s basically just a dude asking defensive questions. reminds me of when Martin Short did his Nathan Thurm character.
I don’t understand anything. I am not good with contracts. I don’t understand contracts.
Tiger Woods. Le Bron. Rooney…
Just be cunts
yeah, I don’t understand what’s the big deal about Lebron… or Roonie.
jesus, i just saw this spot on TV. here’s what you should LeBron: shut the f**k up! You’re clearly NOT a star. nice attempt though WK. nice direction etc.
this is just crap.
badly shot, badly written.
Why all the anti-Rooney rhetoric?
He’s a great football player,not the highest IQ granted, nobody complains that Stephen Hawkins isn’t great on the wing.
When did we want our football players to be nobel prize winners. ¬£250k per week for playing football, I reckon he’ll look back and wish he studied harder at school right.
Jim, no one has mentioned having a problem with Rooney’s intelligence.
It’s more the fact that he’s a cunt, and he hasn’t been a great footballer since April.
Show me the money.
A villain is always a hero in his/her own story.
Jim, who is this Stephen Hawkins of whom you speak? Is it this guy? http://www.stephenhawkins.net/
I know of a very clever guy called Stephen Hawking, he is a “theoretical physicist and cosmologist, whose scientific books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity” who I think would have made a much better reference for the point you were trying to make.
In answer though. It’s because Mr Rooney is an utter utter utter shitwipe. Capische?
