Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan Pins The Internet With Wrestling Furniture TV Ad

Billy Corgan, the erstwhile alt-era icon and Smashing Pumpkins frontman, has been at least as focused on wrestling as music for the past few years. So perhaps his awesomely absurdist TV ad for Chicago furniture supplier Walter E Smithe, which acts as a backdoor viral ad for his wrestling concern Resistance Pro, should be less surprising.

But that doesn't make it any less hilarious, does it?

So have a gander at Corgan's latest project, in which he plays musical chairs with the Smithe brothers before inviting his pro wrestlers into the ring to crack some furniture-seller skulls. Then hit the gallery below to find out about 15 other ridiculous musician appearances in TV ads.

As much as Billy likes to mope-sing about being alone, in this case he's got some great company ranging from Ringo Starr and Rolling Stones to Iggy Pop and Johnny Rotten.
