Do you have principles? Morals? For instance if you were totally against companies offering loans with astronomical APRs would you still take part in a television advert if offered a good payment to do so, or the likes of Foxy bingo trying to get people to spend a fiver to then get them hooked? I often wonder who the actresses/actors are who succumb to this and do they ever really think about what they are promoting, do they even care!!!

A very interesting observation that does sometimes cross my mind too. When celebrities endorse products such as diets or cosmetics have they actually used them or are they simply doing it for the money? What would you do if it was you Georgie Girl and you were being offered several £000's?

I have very strong principles and morals, probably to my detriment. I am just curious if these actors ever think for a moment as to the content and implications of what they are partaking in.
I notice they stopped using real people on Wonga.com but then again they are real voices!!!

I think it depends on the circumstances. In my experience it is easy to stand on the moral high ground if you have a choice. I wouldn't want to be involved in promoting anything I didn't believe in but then I have never been put in a position where I have no choice.
