Ashton Kutcher - A Product Manager at Lenovo?

[Nick.RevenueJet]

That's what the Daily Mail says. Not sure if it's a joke or not (Kutcher played Jobs in the Jobs movie earlier this year), but he did make an appearance at the Lenovo LA Conference.

David Roman, chief marketing officer for Lenovo, added: 'Ashton Kutcher's authentic, creative appetite for technology and keen consumer insight combined with our innovation engine make this a very natural and powerful partnership.

Do you think this going to be a new trend, similar to the 'actors becoming politicians' trend? Will we see more celebrities taking such roles in companies? To me, this sounds more like a PR stunt than anything else.

Using the word 'engineer' a bit freely there

He'll probably just be relaying info and announcements like a sponsor/ambassador for Lenovo and not actually be hands-on involved with the creation of their products.

This is Kelso from that 70's show, remember?

I'd expect he's committed to a certain amount of time actually looking at the products and providing feedback on them, as he wouldn't want to be associated with something poor if he's going to be an ambassador for it. Not quite as exciting as when he was placing $50k+ bets in Vegas on behalf of a leading betting syndicate though!
