Levi Johnston “protected” by pistachios in new ad, Is it funny or tacky?
Looks like Levi J. may just build his fortune and fame one nut at a time.
Bristol Palin’s baby daddy is up to his eyes in controversy. This time it has to do with the protective power of pistachios.
In the ad for Wonderful Pistachios, paparazzi snap photos as the caribou hunter and his body guard walk and Levi enjoys the wonders of pistachios.
The announcer says: “Now Levi Johnston does it with protection.”
The “joke” is:
A) Pistachios have protective shells. A protective shell is something Johnston apparently didn’t have when he impregnated Bristol, the daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
B) Paparazzi would bothering snapping photos of Levi.
Burn!
Either way you have to give it to Levi. The precious cherub is trying really, really, really hard to be a star.
The 19-year-old’s attorney announced Wednsday, Oct. 7, that Levi will appear in PlayGirl.
He appeared in GQ and hung out with Kathy Griffin at the Teen Choice Awards.
What do you think?
Is the ad funny or in bad taste?

It’s not all that funny. He should do a Levi’s commercial where his zipper gets stuck!
