I changed the title of this post no less than four times and may yet change it again. I started with “not a fan of Endorsements.” I won’t bother you with all the evolutions.

Famous individuals should be cautious when endorsing products, as it can potentially tarnish their reputation if the products do not live up to their claims. While endorsements can be lucrative, celebrities must carefully consider the long-term impact on their public image and the trust of their fans. It is important for them to maintain authenticity and only lend their name to products they genuinely believe in and can stand behind.

Kim Komando’s recommendation of a printer may have been overly enthusiastic. After purchasing the printer, I found that Komando’s expertise on the subject may not be as extensive as portrayed.

Unfortunately, I’ve been burned so many times, I’m starting to resemble a marshmallow. But hey, at least I’m not alone in this toasted predicament. It seems people are still happily peddling their reputations like cheap trinkets, and folks like me are fruitlessly trying to warn others. Just because someone’s famous doesn’t mean they’re a genius – or even honest. Heck, they might not even care about their good name. But who am I to judge? I’m just a crispy, cautionary tale, waiting to happen.
