A few weeks ago I saw this …
Have you watched it?
Please watch it …
Seriously, it suddenly makes Ronaldo’s play acting in front of a referee look Oscar worthy.
I know a bunch of Western celebrities do ads in Asia because they get paid a ton of cash and they think no one will ever see it, but the fact is – in these connected times – people do see it.
People EVERYWHERE.
Which takes us back to Ronaldo.
Why the hell did he do this?
For a person who seems very, very aware of his public image, he must have known how terrible this would make him look.
And I don’t just mean the terrible dancing, I mean everything.
The horrific production values.
The embarrassingly tragic script.
The ridiculous premise for the whole ad.
I just don’t understand why he would do it.
He isn’t at the point of retiring.
He absolutely doesn’t need the money.
And with such star power, surely he could – at the very least – have demanded a better script or some semi-decent production values.
Which all goes to show that money might buy you happiness, but it doesn’t buy you taste.
