So far, I'm streets ahead of Ashton in terms of "Bang for the >Buck". I feel sure she costs Aston nothing. After all, he is surely the young eye candy for the fading star. ;-)

Who cares whether you are convinced or not? It's a numbers game. Some people will be convinced, others won't. The whole point is to increase sales that generate more in profit than the cost of employing the celebrity. Whether one individual is convinced, or not, doesn't matter a jot. Especially when that individual is known to be an anti-social recluse.

Hang on while I laugh .... You forget, we've seen all the crapshots from all these "expert" DSLR owners in these newsgroups. I've not seen one photo from any of them yet that would be worth the ink and paper to print it at any size. LOL! |
