Poorly Chosen Endorsements

"I'm not afraid of a 300 pound lineman, but I am afraid of a little Ice Cream." - Brett Farve for Sensodine Tooth Paste.

I just saw that comercial and had to ask... why? Seems a bad choice of person and product. It got me thinking, what other incidences of poorly choses endorsemetns or product placements have you seen?

Did that actualy happen (Reciently)?

Did that actualy happen (Reciently)?

I've no idea - it just struck me as an obvious choice of (bad) sponsor-product connection.

Hypothetically?
OJ Simpson and menswear (particularly accessories) and/or cutlery?
Paris Hilton and books?

Actual:
Cher and hair care products,
Don Zimmer and ass-creme (shudder)

There are just so many...

I was looking more for specific examples. I can think of a few, (Donald Trump for the Visa Check card, while funny just doesn't seem right)

One of the best ones (good) I saw involving a football player, is shortly after Eddie George was drafted, he gets a lecture on how he should use Tylonol for pain from Bruce Smith, Reggie White, and one other top notch Defensive player.

What creme was that? (not sure I want to know)

Didn't Donald Trump do some sort of hair-care product endorsement? I mean, the guy looks like he has a $10 rug on his head and he thinks it's God's gift to men's hair.

I haven't seen the ad, but that sounds like a pretty good endorsement to me. "Sensitive teeth don't mean you're some wimp, even this guy needs our product."
