Poorly Chosen Endorsements

[Thornir Alekeg]

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."

I agree. Now, if it were an NHL player with half his teeth missing...

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.

Worst combover is showbusiness?

Man, it's tough to say. It might be safe to say the same hair and makeup guy is still working in Hollywood?

Hey, its a payday for them who cares if it it is a biut lame at times

Of course, the vig vas inwented by a leedle old lady from Wladiwostock....

But I really don't see what's wrong with Koenig's 'do. It was a different era.

Keep a close eye on some shots in the old series, he'll part his hair above his ear some days.

Chekov's comb over was actually a wig. The network execs at the time wanted him to have a Beatles/Monkeys mop top look to attract the teen crowd.

I don't know what The Donald is trying to achieve there.

I want to give a shout out to Jason Giambi and Ken Griffey Jr.. Their MLB comeback player of the year awards were sponsored by... Viagra.

Dunno, but when you've got 15 quackajillion dollars, even bad hair won't keep you from getting exceptionally hot women to throw themselves at you.

You may recall that the original spokesman for Viagra was Bob Dole. Now, I've got a lot of respect for the man...but...it just seemed like an odd fit.

Other bizzaro choices:
- Paris Hilton for Carl's Jr / Hardee's
- Darius Rucker (of Hootie and the Blowfish) for the Burger King Tendercrisp Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich (also one of the most genuinely weird ads in the past few years)

Ahah! They were on perfrormance enhancing drugs!

Raphiel Palmero was also a Viagra spokeman.

It got me thinking, what other incidences of poorly choses endorsemetns or product placements have you seen?

Simpson will sign autographs and photos starting at $95 a pop during the NecroComicon Friday through Sunday in the Los Angeles suburb of Northridge, Calif.

Monday is the 10th anniversary of Simpson's 1995 acquittal in the stabbing deaths of his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

The NecroComicon will mark Simpson's first Los Angeles public appearance since the slayings, convention officials said in a news release.

That's about as weird as it gets. NecroComicCon is less a comics convention than a horror convention.
