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. -- Cheers Dave. |

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. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
