Why you should never pay attention to celebrities or to what they say about causes — ANYcauses, forANYreason.
Because they might not have actually said or done it,
and are just playing you like a cheap violin.

I was called for a survey once. That was for a "Taxi Tested Tough" car parts ad campaign that was being promoted by Muhammad Ali.
My supervisor's farther-in-law drove a taxi in NYC at the time. He changed his oil, filters, etc. weekly. So much for taxi tested tough. One week's usage and the parts were discarded.
Did all taxis get the same maintenance? I have no idea. I knew Muhammad Ali wasn't a mechanic so why should I look up to him for expert knowledge? He was a shill and nothing else for a marketing campaign.
Same with all other celebrities making use of their "fame" to sell products and opinions.

He seems kinda qualified, no?
Mohamed Ali has been driving a taxi in Yellowknife since 2014. He works for Aurora Taxi, one of the city's three cab companies, and sits on the company's board
So, you're saying that celebrities who endorse products may not actually be users of the products they endorse? Be still my beating heart! Does everyone know this? Should it not be bruited about more publicly to avoid misunderstanding? What does it mean when one asks questions and never answers them?

You're right Meade, I'm so disillusioned.

Furthermore in addition, the photo of the sperm-and-egg-waste Kardashian sprog was photoshopped by some dude who thought it was high larius. In the original (claimed to be from a tasteless broadcast of rich white trash) she has no mask and is not holding anything except a bottle of refreshing liquid. So they say and it seems to be true
