Filed under: Sylvester Stallone
Celebs are well know for advertising commercial products. Especially if the payment is large.
Now, the latest celeb to join the commercial campaigns is Sylvester Stallone.
Sly has partnered up with Russian vidka producer Synergy and has signed a one-year contract.
He will soon appear in television and newspaper ads for the vodka brand Russian Ice.
Ironically enough, his Rocky character, Racky Balboa, humiliated a Soviet boxer and John Rambo was shown killing several Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
The Rocky and Rambo movies were banned in the Soviet Union, though became widely available decades ago thanks to the country's underground VHS market.
But the Soviets have no hard feelings against the movie star it seems. Especially considering that the deal is said to be worth about $1 million.
As for the reason they picked Stallone, Synergy's statement says, "The advertising campaign concept was based on the fact that the actor has Russian roots."
His Russian roots refer to Stallone's GREAT-grandmother, Rosa Rabinovich, who was from the Ukraine.
Whatever pays the bills!

his legs look like fake twigs…..
yeah
LOVES the shirt.
He's gross…what's up with the veins on his arms??
"Yo, Adrian, bring me a vodka tonic!" I'm sorry, but I just love little Sly Stallone!
first comment
Just when you think they are about to retire…
Can they give him something to drink that will straighten out his lip?
real men wear pink…….. i mean…….. really SHORT men wear pink
Re: Kelly93 – are you fucking kidding me?? were you born in 93 or graduated
hahahaha Mario……you're too funny…this is NOT "new" news…..I knew about it hours ago
I'm almost sure his left wrist will be green once he removes those cheech and chong fake bracelets.
and I'm not even going to say anything about those poured on gloria vanderbilt jeans
Re: OBAMA 08 – The veins in his arms are from wearing that hideous, heavy, ostentatious jewelry. If I were on a "Boat To Sail" with him, I'd push him off, keep the vodka and wait a long while before yelling MAN OVERBOARD!
Re: hottie – Real men can wear anything!
BOYCOTT everything Russian, since they invaded the country of Georgia, Stalin's birthplace, and the Russians refuse to recognize the "territorial integrity" of ANY country that borders Russia. The Ukraine and Poland are next.
Sly always has that look that someone is holding a turd underneath his nose.
He is absolutely the only REAL Man who can wear Pink!!!
ADRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!
Re: Kelly93 –
I actually was first bitch….I get the gift certificate right Andy? lol
or maybe I can proposition andy into some sort of "under the table" deal….one where clothing is optional
Re: DSummerfan – true dat boo
It's Ukraine, not the Ukraine. And Ukraine is an independent state, not a part of Russia
Re: abercorey – Yes. You get the $7 gift card to Chik-Fil-A. And it is a non-negotiable instrument.
Re: Andy27 – instrument? hmmm. I play the drums.
Re: Andy27 –
lol oh you bitch!! there must be someone else….
Re: ooooooo. – Like I said Ukraine is NEXT. Russia (Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin) wants it back.
Re: abercorey – just u baby. NOBODY else.
Who wears that shirt, honestly?
Re: Andy27 –
:sigh:
I feel like I just be don got a rose stuck on my head….. I cant wait till we start our own family…wit 19 chirrens
Re: abercorey – NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD LET YOU HAVE CHILDREN!
Re: JET – Well, it's hard for Russia to give up on its imperialistic ambitions. and the matter of who is next is pretty much dependent on resolving the current conflict in Georgia. World's oppinion and position matters. But it seems like oil is more important than freedom…

Re: Leona$ Gho$t, back and BETTER than ever! – SEE YOU UPON YOUR RETURN, HAVE A GOOD TRIP!
Ukrainian and Russian women are the SCUM of the earth!
(just wanted to say that… and I mean it!)
I like his watch well enough but ONE bracelet would be sufficient–
on the OTHER wrist. Also, he should stuff his crotch. Most women have a bigger bulge.
Well, Pervez, you aren't in "An Abosulut World". How much did you make for your childish, self-absorbed vid?
Who photoshopped his upper torso onto Ally McBeals legs?????
I see too much plastic surgery! Isn't he like 70 years old?
Oh god he's soooooooo gross.
Sylvester, u look fat old and i dont know what else but u need to retire soooon!

y cant it be about his ukrainian roots!! : proud ukrainian american!!
why do guys think russia will do ukraine next?? i hope to god not, makes me feel horrible are you from europe?
Re: PaulBreiveld –
omg why would you say that?
YOU GOT SCOOPED BY P-REVENGE AGAIN MAN.
Worst marketing decision ever! Yeah, Stallone is about as Russian or Ukrainian as I am Latina. As a proud Ukrainian Canadian who is proud of my community & culture; this makes me sick.
Re: PaulBreiveld –
That's because we are too much woman for you!
The rule of thumb is simple: those you EXPLAIN the business to will probably not join, and those you SHOW the website to and take on a TOUR of the website probably will join. Give it a chance and take a look at the overview. Earn cash back on your purchases at over 600+ retail stores! Go to shoptoearn.net/klchadwick or shoptoearth.net/klchadwick , click on my picture on the bottom left and then click on the overview at the top right. No selling or inventory involved! Not a get rich quick scheme. Take a look for yourself at the huge retail partners! Give it a chance, go to my site and email me with any questions. I will show you the actual checks of friends that have made some pretty decent money in just 30 days from referrals and bonuses plus shopping online. It is worth the time to give it a shot and ask yourself, “Why not?”.
Re: PaulBreiveld – too bad you had no luck with Ukrainian or Russian women. I feel sorry for you because of that. And your insulting comment… well, you refer to your personal experience. But do not go into generalization, please! Bad and good people, both men and women happen everywhere, including Netherlands…
He's kinda scary looking.
Perez stop being a hypocrit you're partnering up with a lot of brands and firms to pay your bills ! You're whoring so much for money, always advertising your crap !
Ukraine is not in Russia….it in the country of Ukraine and part of the former USSR. Let's try to do our homework next time
