The last time we saw Screech, he was waving a dildo around on Celebrity Fit Club. The time before that? It was in his self-released sex tape. With a resume like that, you'd think that Dustin Diamond's next gig would be as a jizzmopper at The Cathouse or something. But you'd be wrong. In what will surely go down as one of the most mocked marketing decisions of this still young year, Screech was just signed to be the pitchman of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter."
As explained in this email blast sent to Defamer HQ, the rationale for the campaign is as follows: "We've all done things that in hindsight, we should have known better about. Celebrities, more than anyone, wish they could make their bloopers and blunders disappear. Well, two high-profile names are now fessing up to their mistakes! Gary Coleman and Dustin Diamond now know better and are admitting their faux-pas to the world in online video confessionals." Um, okay? Other than the fact that this graf contains the phrase "now know better" (the new slogan for I.C.B.I.N.B), we still don't know what any of this has to do with butter-substitute. While we understood and applauded your casting of Fabio as your former pitchman (even to this day, he remains the gold standard and go-to-guy when you want to visually represent the abstract concept of escapist housewife fantasies), it's hard to think of a worse pitchman for a product that is primarily sold to weight-conscious women than a scat-obsessed misogynist. Next time, why not just hire O.J. Simpson and Scott Peterson and call it a day?

People always tell me I look like this guy, which makes me think that my life is going to stay intersting for awhile.
This is the reason Seth Rogen won't lose weight.
I guess it works if you use ICBINB as lube.

Wait, so making a sex tape is a blunder on the scale of having eaten real butter? Feh. Where's Fabio?
Doesn't this guy now live in Wisconsin -- the dairy state? Now, I think he would know better than become a pitchman for a butter-like susbtance, which is akin to slapping his fellow cheesehead brethren in the face. This is the state that made margarine contraband by banning it from being sold within its borders.
It's like buttah. Two sticks.
"I like simple pleasures, like ICBINB in my ass and lollipops in my mouth. That's just me. That's just something I enjoy. Call me crazy; call me a pervert."
@SteamyMcFirecrotch: Crazy Pervert.
And thus they finally realized that even Fabio can't stay beautiful forever. But was it really necessary to immediately makes tracks to the exact opposite side of the celeb spectrum?
Feces loving Screetch selling butter. They better not count on me to buy their product.
