So we have an American that wins 8 gold medals. This fact is not the issue that I blog for today. I blog for the ridiculous reason that because he won these medals analysts are now saying that his worth throughout his career starts now at 100 million dollars, currently and before he entered the competition he was making only 5 million a year.
Why? Endorsements.
You have to be kidding me? He endorses Visa, Mastercard, Speedo and somehow it is a better product? You can associate yourself with greatness and do just like "the stars" do. Why I am on this subject let me explain that actors are professional pretenders, they pretend to be another person. Somehow when people spend a few hours watching a movie or hours watching them in your house it is assumed they have been an actual houseguest and would never lie to you..........you have a delusion of relationship and so now a friend is hooking you up with a product.........your friend would never lie. I laugh at the "Best Actor" awards, because really the best liar is winning. How can they distort the truth into a story and pretend? It is an illusion.
Who needs consumer reports when if Paris Hilton endorses it, then quality it must be.
Are we just a bunch of mindless "Monkey see, Monkey do?"
