Celebrity Endorsements: Does Anyone Really Care?

PAT SAJAK: "If any group of citizens is uniquely unqualified to tell someone else how to vote, it's those of us who live in the sheltered, privileged arena of celebrityhood"...

"It’s one thing to buy an ab machine because Chuck Norris recommends it (he’s in good shape, isn’t he?) or a grill because George Foreman’s name is on it (he’s a great guy, so it must be a great grill!), but the idea of choosing the Leader of the Free World based on the advice of someone who lives in the cloistered world of stardom seems a bit loony to me."

I found this rather interesting considering the media makes such a bg deal over who is donating to whom or which celebrity is backing a particular candidate. I certainly dont give a crap who they are supporting or endorsing - Do you?

None.
Though actors and politicians do have something in common... they're both good at pretending to be people that they aren't.

I would never have imagined endorsing the political stylings of Pat Sajak.

But he sure nailed this one.

I was just thinking some of you older fellers probably went out and bought a Serta mattress after Joey Heatherton gyrated all over it.

Off topic off topic !! !! !! Banish her!! !! !!

classicman · 11-28-2007, 03:16 PM

Funny Video though

lookout123 · 11-28-2007, 03:17 PM

who's joey heatherton?

Shawnee123 · 11-28-2007, 03:20 PM

Hey, classicman, how is that off topic? It's a celebrity endorsement. From about a hundred years ago, it is one.

Oh, and for really off topic, I wrote a song for you. Well, I stole one and changed the lyrics:

"Come on home girl
He said with a smile.
You don't have to love me
Let's get high awhile.
But try to understand, try to understand
try try try to understand
I'm a classicman, baby, oooh, a classicman"

lookout123...I only knew her from that commercial!

classicman · 11-28-2007, 03:29 PM

Uh thats really nice - thanks - I think

I wouldn't get much sleep with her caterwauling all round the bed.

Back to the OT - I hate to hear the political views of those I believe to be talented in other areas. If they don't gel with mine I feel ridiculously let down, which I know is wrong, so I'd rather not know.

I mean the Colonel makes a nice bit of fried chicken, but I doubt we'd have agreed on who to vote for.

I voted for Kevin Rudd because Peter Garrett told me to.

Yeah but not because PG is a celebrity ... because he's six-foot-seven and looks scary as hell. I'd do what he said if he said it from close enough.

Seriously, are you in Rudd's electorate?

I guess I must be an older feller, as I saw Joey Heatherton on the Bob Hope tour in Vietnam in 1965 and she sure was a hit with the troops.
She was welcome in any hooch at any time.
