Wonderful Pistachios continues its idiots and assholes campaign (not its official name, but an apt one) with new spots starring Rod Blagojevich, the disgraced former governor of Illinois, and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, the disgraceful party girl from New Jersey. In the Blago spot, a mysterious character hands him a briefcase. He opens it, and loads of pistachios spill out. "Rod Blagojevich does it innocently," says the voiceover. In a statement, Blago says: "The contents in the suitcase are like the accusations against me—they're nuts."
