Kenny Powers, the profane protagonist of HBO's Eastbound and Down, may have picked up a real-life endorsement deal for the HTC One.


The character, played by Danny McBride, lobbed a few tweets recently that seem to be designed to raise awareness for the new device:



Snitches! Someone at @htcusa or @att help me get a @htc ONE, por favor.

We don't have an endorsement or paid relationship. We merely helped get the device into the hands of a fan." Read more...
