Having your latest commercial in a long-running campaign dubbed "too hot for network TV" can only be a good thing. So, congrats to Paramount Farms' Wonderful Pistachios for its cheeky collaboration with the artist and stoner formerly known as Snoop Dogg. (He's Snoop Lion now, right? Or does he revert to the prior mammal for product endorsements?) True to form, the smooth West Coast rapper sits on a throne, taps nuts into his hand from a medicine bottle and cracks them "habitually" in the new spot.
