Reporter’s “Soap Opera”

Friday, 12 February 2010 | by Pat's Picks

New York Daily News reporter Rich Schapiro tells my favorite story of the morning: He was walking through Manhattan one day when a woman asks if he’d like to appear in a commercial. One thing leads to another and soon he’s on a plane to Paris to be the star in an ad for Dove Body Wash, one that prominently features his armpit.  Dove’s goal was to find ordinary guys for the commercial rather than models.
