How many of the Buicks that were sold by GM during his spokesmodel tenure were actually attributable to him, do ya figure?? Hmmm???



I'm guessing the number is close to zero.



I'd say it was the most costly, idiotic parings of product/celeb in modern US marketing history.



And probably one of the cavalcade of reasons Congress told all three of them to "go fish"

This is what I dont get about advertising.

Michael Jordan wears Haynes as a home for his testicles so I am supposed to?

Bill Parcell's advertises a diet drink so he can throw away his man-bra I am supposed to drink it?

Morton hears a hoo but the voices go away after intravenous injection of Prozac I am supposed to ...

All these famous people and their products.
I dont get it.
