Still Shirtless, but Iggy is Covered
After Johnny shilling butter it’s about time another punk got a piece of the pie. Carnival Cruise lines has already used Iggy’s drug fueled anthem to sell cruises to pensioners and families but now Swiftcover uses the man himself to sell… insurance.
Sadly with the death of Stooges guitarist, Ron Asheton, insurance policies are probably something Iggy actually is thinking about.

i don’t know…this commercial disturbs me. and it’s not just the fact that it seems a little too painfully cheesy for Mr. Pop.
i mean what is “swift covered” anyway? is it an online place to back up your personal information and documents? i don’t think i’d want my birth certificate floating around on the net, even if Iggy Pop is trying to tell me that it’s cool…..

He may be in good shape but his face looks like the Crypt Keeper from Tales of the Crypt.

I agree. Every time I watch this commercial I cringe. I guess with less money being invested in advertising this is what we can look forward to for a couple of years

It’s more an anti-commercial. Iggy is still rocking, though

This will visit my nightmares for the next couple months. This was so terribly cheesy - I didn’t expect “performance” like that from Iggy…
