Sexy Beckham promoting sexual stimulant?
As reported by the media, like here in BizChinaUpdate:
A Beijing-based aphrodisiac manufacturer has produced an advert with Beckham and his wife Victoria seen gleefully endorsing, via Chinese-language dubbing, the effect the product has had on their sex life. Beckham gushes about the formula’s key role in “satisfying Victoria in bed.”
The faked advert uses footage of the Beckhams – along with “interviews” featuring Sean Connery and Keanu Reeves – to promote the sexual stimulant, called USA Selikon. The ad has gained a wide audience in China, both in the selected cities where it has been broadcast, and on the Internet where downloads of it are freely available.
The three stars clearly had no part in making the advert, and the footage has been obtained illegally and over-dubbed to give the impression that they are talking openly about their penchant for stimulatory Chinese medicines.
Nobody knows yet what Beckham’s reaction will be. But our Chinese friends are showing shameless commercialism (if it would be a joke – still acceptable…). Now just imagine that a similar fake video would circulate in the UK with Yao Ming promoting some British Viagra. You can expect a mass protest of the Chinese cybernationalists, the Chinese government calling the British ambassador to express indignation, the UK being a target of violence here in China.
Chinese can be so damned sensitive but are we always supposed to swallow their crap?

Maybe I detect some Confucius influence here?
