Hellions New Celebrity Endorsement

CHICAGO, IL – August 24, 2007 - Hellions Scenario Paintball Team recently received a new surprise celebrity endorsement. Last week, Hellions Unit Commander, Lonnie "Grendel" Colson, announced to the team that he had been approached by an undisclosed marketing agency to appear in a new advirtisement campaign. While the details of the offer have still not been released, the ad agency represents a major paintball marker manufacturer and is looking for someone to appear in printed and electronic ads in the near future.

When Grendel's teammates heard the news, they were naturally excited about the potential exposure for the team. Joe "MasterShake" Scarso commented in the team forums, known as the Hellions Warzone, that it was a dream come true. Ever a comedian, Grendel remarked that it would only be a dream come true if it included Jessica Alba in a bikini on a beach in the Caribbean.

The team's resident graphic design wizard, Don "D-Mac" McClelland wanted to earn some brownie points with his Commanding Officer. He apparently used his extensive connections as the creator of countless sports celebrity custom helmets and masks. Within a matter of hours he was able to produce a photograph of Jessica Alba wearing team apparel in a new celebrity endorsement (see above right). Miss Alba can be seen wearing the new Hellions "Off-Duty Tee" in white ribless cotton and designer brand denim jeans in digital woodland camouflage. For safety reasons, she is holding a non-firing theatrical reproduction M-249 SAW. Miss Alba was nice enough to include a personalized message wishing the team good luck on their upcoming 24-hour scenario game, Wayne Dollack's "Stalingrad III", hosted by CPX Sports.

Jessica Alba has achieved the highest levels of 'smoking-hot' celebrity status by appearing in numerous Hollywood blockbusters such as "Sin City", "Into the Blue" and "Grendel's Dreams". She can be seen in the upcoming romantic comedy "Good Luck Chuck" soon to be released in theaters nationwide. Check local listings for feature show times and locations.
