True. Timeline: What's wrong with TV. Things that irritate me about TV. Husband watches Netflix. Mostly men doing manly things in hot weather without sweating or getting their clothes dirty. I'm hot and feeling curmudgeonly. The left field is cooler.
Advertisers know the power of celeb endorsement and are willing to pay for it. I can understand them taking the money - acting is a precarious profession with uncertain and irregular incomes so they need to make hay while the sun shines.
Seeing a 'celebrity' endorsing a product is enough to put me off buying it. It's obvious that 99% of them haven't got a clue what the product is and would never have used it if they weren't being paid to do so.
And hair freshly shampooed and conditioned, and armpits shaved.. hiking through jungles or deserts in high heels.
Occasionally they may become artfully dishevelled, in an attractively slightly damp sort of way with still perfect make-up and perhaps a smudge of dirt along a sculptured cheek bone. And if they swim through a river, or get caught in a thunderstorm, when they get out a) they are never streaked with mascara and b) when their hair dries it goes back to glossy and sleek, or artfully damp. As opposed to frizzy with a few bits of pondweed.
And while we're on this one - it's a pet hate - firstly, in most places in the world, setting off the fire alarm doesn't make the sprinklers go off. Secondly, if you happen to be in a room when the sprinklers go off, you won't become artfully damp, you will look like a drowned rat. And lastly, you can't crawl through ventilation ductwork - it's dark, it's filthy, it's too small (even for Tom Cruise), there are turning vanes on the corners and grilles are always fixed from the outside so you can't open them from inside to get out.
