On the subject of screen time...

Just a couple of excerpts from other blogs around the net. Thanks to the KROQ interview, a lot more people are aware of of Mandy now.
I was driving in to work this morning. Kevin and Bean on KROQ were raving about this new Internet fanned obsession about an actress named Mandy Amano. Mandy appeared in a Pepsi commercial during Superbowl 2005. Immediately following, a blog dedicated to Mandy began to appear on the net.

So I looked it up: http://thatpepsigirl.blogspot.com

I must admit: She is gorgeous.

[...]

But....

How the heck did this interent frenzy start? Her on screen time was, what, 5 seconds? This is amazing...

Another one:
And speaking of ads, how in the heck does three seconds of a Pepsi ad get a girl her own fan blog and subsequent radio interviews and Maxim spread? But at least it's not a blog about this Pepsi girl.

One more:
How much must it suck to be the other girl in the Pepsi/Itunes commercial? You know. The one who isn't Mandy Amano.

[...]

Dear Other Girl:

Please don't take it personally that you had approximately 4 seconds more of screen time and were unable to capitalize on it. Fame, she is a fickle bitch.

Haha. And for the record, Mandy had around 13 seconds of screen time from the two ads combined.

In other news, AdRants has a nice little write up about Mandy's rise to internet, print and radio fame.

they should come out with a pepsi iPod, blue trimmed in red and white, and have Mandy's sig on the back. I'd buy it

"People are going nuts all of a sudden over “That Pepsi Girl”.

Yeah, she’s pretty, but there are pretty girls on just about every commercial, so?"

Good Point. There's hardly a commercial that DOESN'T have a hot babe in it. If Mandy were my nextdoor neighbor, I'd be going apeshit! But who cares if there's yet another hot babe on yet another cola commercial?
