Did I just hear Robert Webb voicing an advert for Cushelle toilet roll? :/


It seems to be getting ever increasingly common for large companies to hire comic personalities to do their ads. Kinda depressing, I can't imagine it's a hard life being a massively popular TV personality, so selling out to adverts just seems greedy. On the other hand, it doesn't really affect anything (like musicians watering down their sound for well paying contracts), so I guess it's okay.

I just hope that these "endorsements" don't mean that these people are bound from saying certain things in order to keep sponsors happy.
