Excellent point, and I have to wonder why he and Steve Wallace signed on with them. A little due diligence on his part using Bing/Google would pop up way more than the usual number of complaints.
 
Money is tight and motorsports sponsors have cut way back. I think Wallace just did it for the money and sold his reputation down the river.
 
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?).

"whether he knows it's a bad product, wants to get out of it, but can't"
 
  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!!!!

Yeah, but that's not Pfizer advertising in the back of Road & Track and the other car mags. It's the fake pill companies.
 
Actually R&T isn't near as bad as most of them. Only counted 4 such as in the September '09 issue. Some of the wax and brake ads do make you wonder what they are selling though.

I get all of the magazines (auto related) and I have to agree with you about those type of ads....but...I don't remember seeing any NASCAR drivers or other sports type figures advertising for them?????

Ah, you're right. There was just the Mark Martin Ford that's sponsored by the legit Pfizer pill.

the guy who buys mechanical insurance for his beloved car/truck is the same guy who refuses to buy life insurance for his beloved. What's the hang up here?

I am not sure, perhaps she does not have any future earnings to protect against the loss of?

"for his beloved" = a policy on his life and earnings
 
"on his beloved" = a policy on her life and earnings

Here`s a link from CR as to why you need to avoid 3rd party ext warr companies like US Fidelis:

Hopefully the MO attorney general`s office sues them and put them behind bars.
