Replying to: deltheking (Oct 02, 2009 9:04 am) I was more thinking about whether his endorsement of a patently bad product is going to hurt his image - or whether he KNOWS it's a bad product, wants to get out of it, but can't? I don't think I'd want my reputation tied to a company that (it appears) is likely to go down in flames. |

It's not going to help the NASCAR brand either as the AGs get their criminal complaints going. Then again NASCAR hasn't cared about drivers selling dubious male enhancement pills either. (Just what is it with car mags and their enhancement ads all over the back pages anyway - are most motorheads really that insecure or what?). |

Replying to: kirstie_h (Oct 02, 2009 9:41 am) He probably cannot get out of it...as the ads are STILL being played on TV. I see them quite often. You would think that any "well known celebrity" would have his P.R. person look into the background of such products before backing the porduct. In this case, "$$$$" is the first priority for them. As for the VIAGRA ads done by (I believe) Mark Martin (they also sponsererd his team)...that product (from what a lot of my older friends tell me) actually does work!!!!

Here`s a link from CR as to why you need to avoid 3rd party ext warr companies like US Fidelis: link title Hopefully the MO attorney general`s office sues them and put them behind bars. |
