Never Been Kissed





This commercial was easily the most hated ad for Superbowl 2013.  It might be described as kiss porn.  Bar Rafaieli even looked like she was about to vomit after this gratuitas kiss, but despite all the controversy what was it that really turned viewers off?  My friend Chelsea commented that "They should have made it a nerdy girl.  No one would be complaining. No. One."  At first I thought she was alluding that something only becomes sexualized when an attractive woman is involved, but I realized she just would have much rather seen David Beckham topless and kissing a geeky girl.  Not even the most repressed housewife in the conservative Bible belt region would have much to say about that.  Despite the controversy there is a bigger story that's not being told.  The inspirational story of actor Jesse Heiman...

Who can argue that kissing Bar was the best day of Jesse's life?  Just who is Jesse Heiman? Jesse has spent years toiling as a background actor having appeared in blockbuster hit movies such as American Pie 2, The social Network, and Spider Man.  In all he has appeared in 140 movies and tv shows as an extra, all the while never giving up on his dreams of becoming a professional actor.

The movie that inspired this blog is non other than Drew Barrymore's heartfelt  Never been kissed, and at 34, is there any doubt Jesse had not made it to second base despite his cult like status as an extra?  Well, Jesse... geeks all across the world salute you and you can now proudly lose the title of 'never been kissed'.
