Perhaps you need to see the ad.
The fact that he's in an ad doesn't lead me to believe he is broke... however that Burger King ad is bad... really bad... worse then an Old Navy ad. If you see it, you'll probably understand where I'm coming from.

And Arnold's Japanese commercials are smurfing awesome.

The song they started with in that commercial:

Big Rock Candy Mountain

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning
I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains
So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I'm a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I'll see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Ah... I love that song on my O' Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack

My roommate and I were discussing this last night, actually.

He's not Hootie. The band is called "Hootie and the Blowfish," but there's no Hootie in it. His name is Darius Rucker.

I watched the commercial and was inclined to eat at Burger King's even though I am a vegetarian. 

i saw that.
i thought the same thing.
pathetic.
and i'm sure brooke burke eats at burger king all the time.  yeah right.

It's my current favorite commercial. Who cares if he needs money? It's a good commercial made by the same people who did the Ikea "Feel Sad for the little lamp" commercial.

When my belly starts a-rumblin', and I'm jonesin' for a treat.
I close my eyes for a big surprise, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch, the breasts they grow on trees.
And streams of bacon ranch dressing, flow right up to your knees.
Tumbleweeds of bacon, and cheddar paves the streets.
Folks don't [Unintelligable] ya cause ya got the juice, there's a train of ladies comin' with a nice caboose.
Never get in trouble, never need an excuse, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch no one tells ya to behave.
Your wildest fantasies come true, Dallas cheerleaders give you shaves.
Red onions make you laugh instead, and french fries grow like weeds.
Ya get to veg all day, all the lotto tickets pay.
The king who wants you to have it your way, that's the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.

Also, he's hawking CHICKEN SANDWICHES, not burgers.

If you think that ad is bad, I'd love to know your opinion of a good one. At least it's interesting. Funny. Has style. Would you rather watch another commercial for McDonalds or that stupid "Mr. Wendy"?

I watch it every time it's on. So sue me.

Also, I tried a Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch sandwich today. It was damn good.
