Does It Make A Difference?

[Jordyboy9]

I saw an advert for ski boots with beckhams face on it,
Does it make any difference who is shown?
Or is it a case of if David Beckham wears them they must be good,
Can’t understand how people are so gullible.
Would it not bring the price down if joe bloggs was showing them?
It’s not as if David needs the money.

Yes Jordy, for millions of shallow people it does make a difference.

That is not nearly as bad as those 'celebs' respected and admired by our senior citizens flogging funeral plans, life insurance and equity release - yes, Michael Parkinson, Carol Vorderman and Gloria Hunnerford, I do mean you!
