As more & more similar but competitive products are launched in the UK, market advertisers are always trying to do something different to attract our attention to their particular clients products and services.
The latest of these attention seeking trends is to employ “Artistes” that were once considered by either “us” or “themself” to be so different from the so called mainstream capitalist society that they would never previously have considered cashing in by promoting things that had no relevance to their particular artistic talents.
In this new celebrity is king culture that is currently dominating our society many of these “famous characters” are it seems quite happy to line their pockets by promoting anything from supermarkets, car insurance & banks right through to the butter we put on our toast in the mornings.
Advertisers are of course only too happy to help line these big celebrity pockets with their various advertising campaigns.
In an amazing and bizarre promotional coup a British advertiser has managed to do what so many other people have tried to do for years and managed to turn one of the UK’s most notorious anti-establishment hard men literally into butter.
I was amazed when I saw ex punk rocker Johnny Rotten a.k.a John Lydon “acting” as a member of the establishment he has decried for so many of his adult years when he took part in a promotional advertisement for country life butter.
What next? A Colgate advert perhaps to help pay off the bill for those lovely new teeth? … no offence meant Johnny just a bit of tongue in cheek (no pun intended 
)
Disclaimer: I am neither associated with or paid by the company highlighted in the videos shown above but admit to being “subliminally persuaded” by the celebrity endorsement … I now also love butter on my toast
