I guess the toy makers aren't selling out, but everybody artistically involved (Cast & Crew) sold out then. Good point.

Maybe he's not as big of an ass as Eminem's production company wanted us to think? I mean one movie from the name only I can see, but getting cast again? He must have at least some shred of talent, and I'm betting he won't be any worse than plenty of other young hot-shots they could have gotten in the movie. I'm surprised he isn't in Transformers though. That seems like the ultimate sell-out movie at this point, and getting a rapper would fit perfectly. 50 Cent struck me as a joke, but to be fair he was told to play a character that would sell, and he did.
