Ed Sheeran Heinz Ketchup Ad

RaymondLin

Why do people think of this as selling out?

It's a job, they took a job that gets paid good money.  It's not like they are being paid to beat up children, it's just standing in front of a camera with a script, it's what they do and it pays the bills.

Honest day work is just that.

No need to get all high horse about it, and also don't get jealous.

That's part of my objection to the ad, I hate tomato ketchup more than anything else on earth so you won't see me within a mile of their difficult-to-access bottles in the first place.

But I mostly object to trillionaire Ed Sheeran doing adverts.

What amount of earnings do you consider acceptable to partake in advertising?! Strange objection. Is there a reason he shouldn’t take work he’s offered if he wants to do it? 

I haven't thought out an earnings ceiling. 

It just seems a bit unnecessary for one of the nation's richest men to jump at some advertising money and make himself the "face" of an everyday product.  Unless, as I said in the original post, he's giving the money to charity or something.  Which he may well have done. 

Or maybe he really, really loves ketchup and has only used his music career as a springboard to achieving his real lifelong dream of becoming a Heinz Tomato Ketchup global ambassador.   In which case good luck to him, I suppose.

You really have no understanding how advertising works do you? Or, you do, but are choosing to ignore Heinz’s good business sense because you dislike old ginger knackers cause he’s richer and more successful with women and guitar than you are.

I just groaned when I saw the advert and remembered I hardly ever watch tv but when I do I should make a drink during adverts.

Ah, the old "you're just jealous" argument.  It was bound to appear sooner or later.  Yes, of course I am, I'm just green with envy.

If you're going to make baseless claims like that please cite your sauces.

With all the utter tripe on this forum you picked my thread to make that comment?  I guess I should feel honoured.

Part of my ketchup phobia is related to fact that it's bright red.  I did actually buy the green (and purple) varieties when they came out and didn't find them quite as repugnant.  But I still hated the taste.

“This is pretty much what I was aiming for in life. Ketchup ad > stadium tour.”

Well, I take it all back.  The boy has achieved his dream.

You know you're washed up when your biggest hit is the back of a sauce bottle

Well you haven’t presented any other argument why you object to the advert!

I don't know if I dislike him more because his music is a bit shit or because he looks like the dweebs that my teenage daughter hangs around with.
