opposite celebrity endorsements   (0)  [vote for, against]
Achieve success through maximum stupidity

Rather than having your product endorsed by a related celebrity, in the manner of consumer headphone companies, sports brands and perfume companies, have a celebrity who is either non-related or famous for completely opposite reasons.

examples might be: Richard Dawkins endorsed bibles, Yo-Yo Ma endorsed synthesizers (conversely, Daft Punk endorsed cellos), and Lance Armstrong endorsed wine glasses.

It will help create more people famous for being famous.

"Hawking?" "He's that NASCAR flack." "Right"

How? Why?

//You mentioned Richard Dawkins endorsing the Bible. How do you suppose you'd get him to do that?//

People will do a lot of things with a large enough incentive. Not saying that Dawkins would abandon his principles for money, but maybe if you let him write the foreword... Or edit some bits...

//Why?//

Publicity.
