Hipster Doofus
Doesn't the old man in the Airtel Songcatcher ad (with the 'Julie' song) look like an elderly version of Kramer? And trying to 'catch' a song playing in a stranger's car is just the sort of horseplay Kramer is liable to indulge in.
Ok, I know hardly anything is visible in the picture of the ad. I was just testing how to upload images and this was the first one I found related to the ad.
But this is sad. Another reminder for us to not mix up the character and the actor portraying the character.( I've always thought it strange that the person who plays one of the wackiest characters in television has a regular, boring name like Michael Richards.) If the 'Seinfeld Curse' didn't kill off Richards' career, this looks like it could. The only glimmer of hope for him is that Mel Gibson has bounced back to top the box office charts from a similar incident a few months ago. But then, Gibson was always an A list celebrity, something which he can't claim to be.

Considering "Seinfeld" itself was a huge hit thanks to the inimitable antics of this man, i dont think he really needed a solo show to prove anything !!
As for the use of the n-word... dont we have a bit of it in all of us?
