Danny Gokey’s glasses have special powers

It is now a reality. Danny Gokey is the spokesman for Wisconsin Vision. These eyeglasses allow Gokey to see the future, like a dog, a million more pairs of eyeglasses…and the perfect wife.

For the up-and-coming country singer who will largely be remembered by American Idol viewers as Dead Wife Guy, it almost seems in bad taste to see him talking about finding the perfect wife. What? One without a congenital heart defect? Gokey does seem to be moving on from his tragedy — as also evidenced by an um, interesting Tweet to La Princesa del Mariachi Allison Iraheta — which is necessary when something terrible happens, but it still seems a bit odd to use in a marketing campaign. And as someone who makes their living as a copywriter, just uh…why? Why did the ad agency go in THIS direction? Because its just not good.

@AllisonIraheta believe me you would’ve screamed if u saw my feet before the pedi. Besides I gotta get me feet looking good 4 the ladies

Gokey’s other Wisconsin Vision commercial is a big better, mainly because he says schmutz. Jesus boy Danny Gokey talking like my Jewish aunt…it may have been the most likable I’ve ever seen him. Almost…

Spread the word. Do it.
