I was in a shopping centre today and noticed a perfume endorsed by and named after that daft bint from Sex In The City - Sarah Jessica Parker. It got me thinking what kind of person would seriously be influenced by the fact that her name is connected to it and try the damn stuff in reaction. True I noticed it but it would actually stop me buying it for my wife as I'd be damned if I was going to pay the extra money on the product that is there, to cover her fee. We see celebrities endorsing cars on billboards, banking services backed up football players, telephones endorsed by sports people and so on. Why one earth do they pay these people money to do that? Surely there can not be a single person on the planet who choses to consider one brand of something because J Lo or some other waste of space sticks their name to it? Has this celebrity culture we live in truly gotten so bad that it does make a difference to some?
