Should have used Spiro for the ad. And lose the female market?

So Kball, are you saying that the guy in the ad, Spiro calls him Bernie, wears his hat better than Spiro? Also, Spiro is strong enough to hold a Dreamboat with 2 fingers and can inhale with his mouth closed.
Spiro here

I don't know, Kball, Spiro has three pretty gorgeous nursettes all over him in SoCal, all he has to do is show up, but he's playin' hard to get!

Can we have Tom Hanks starring the ad? www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/tom-hanks-reveals-diabetes-diagnosis-article-1.1479293Tom Hanks joked about having Type 2 diabetes in an interview with David Letterman on 'Late Show.' Tom Hanks might be an award-winning movie star, but he still needs to watch his health. The "Captain Phillips" star stopped by David Letterman's "Late Show" to chat about his new flick, but also revealed that he has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Explaining his recent weight loss to the talk show host, Hanks, 57, said his doctor told him, "You've graduated. You've got Type 2 diabetes, young man."The two-time Oscar winning actor said he'd been struggling with high blood sugar since he was 36 years old and that his condition is "controllable.""Something's going to kill us all, Dave," Hanks joked. He isn't the first big name to be linked to the common blood sugar disease. Sherri Shepherd, Biz Markie, Paula Deen and Drew Carey are among the notable celebrities who have revealed their battles with Type 2 diabetes. Nick Jonas, the youngest of the Jonas Brothers trio, has advocated for more research on the disease, frequently speaking out about his fight with Type 1 diabetes. The "Forrest Gump" star explained to Letterman that his doctor advised he should weigh as much as he weighed in high school in order to attain complete health. "And I said to her, 'Well I'm gonna have Type 2 diabetes,'" Hanks joked. “There was no way I was gonna weigh what I weighed in high school. ... I was 96 pounds.”

Am I the only one that doesn't like the visual in the Afrezza ad? What is the deal with that guy (looks like an old guy from the late 1950's) and why no female? Afrezza is for both men and women, upscale and downscale. To be honest I'm happy to see an ad but I'm disappointed with the execution.

My impression is that this is one of a series in the same format. There will be lots of different people used. Someone suggested that these people are actual Afrezza users. Does anyone know if this is correct?

Does anyone know if this is correct? On Twitter I believe one of initial users said his name is Dominic, from Arizona. IM_Typeone is the user who posted this info. But an actual user. Not sure?

Tom Hanks and Halle Berry as diabetic spokespeople would catapult Afrezza in no time. Hanks comes across as a very affable regular guy and I think he would appeal to both men and women. Halle Berry is more aspirational but that's what works in advertising to women (I used to be in the business). Berry would also speak to the African American target audience. The cost to Sanofi would be high but I believe it would be a well worthwhile investment that would pay back in no time.

Doubt Hanks would do it unless he used it. Same for Berry.
