The science of selling out
Iggy Pop's endorsement of car insurance has prompted accusations of selling out. But does anyone really care any more?

Yes.
As is clear from everyone's reaction to those shit fucking adverts.

I don't really give a flying fuck about Iggy Pop
or about the product.*
I just hate the adverts because they're long, loud and shite.
I don't really get the whole problem about selling out; they want money? Okay! I don't care enough about a celebrity to feel betrayed by an advert for socks or whatever it may be.
*It could even be that Iggy Pop is merely another product in his own right! And they're just using one good or service to advertise another.
