It's the people who watch the drivel which turns these ****bags into
'celebrities' need slapping.

Yes, they are called "agents", with both eyes firmly fixed on the
dollar signs.

The story isn't about a fictional "poison health drink" but wether
the celebrities would endorse something without trying it, indeed
endorse something that they were told they would not be allowed to
try.

I wonder how many other celebrites were approached, they or their
agents knew what HCN is and rumbled the sting.

And they give legitimate social meedia and youtube contributors a bad name.


Mind you the world is full of idiots, and they are still developing better
ones!

Much ado about nothing. Lots of foods contain hydrogen cyanide.
Almonds, cassava, bamboo shoots, apple pips and lima beans, for
example, with no ill effects on people from ingesting them in
moderation.

Don't forget Brass Eye and the "Cake" investigation

Lots of famous people, including an MP, conned into denouncing a hoax

I can remember that the magic letters "BBC" appeared on blank compact
cassettes and VHF radio aerials without any quality control whatsoever.

Just consider on main stream TV how many celebrities (Titchmarsh,
Parkinson etc.) promote the rip-off financial products aimed at the over
fifties - with no medical questions asked. I'll bet none of them have
subscribed to the services they are promoting.

Cherry juice - drink about a gallon of it in a few minutes... - or possibly
it might be self-ejecting.
