There was the great Guy Lafleur -- aka "The Flower" and "Le Demon Blond" -- hawking leg circulation boosters. Not quite as bad as Quincy Jones flogging denture cream, but nonetheless............
Lafleur played for 17 seasons between 1971 and 1991 and won five Stanley Cups. With his flowing blonde locks, he was idolized and adored by the Habs fans. I can barely watch him now with his bony feet stuck into the electric booster.
Speaking of other bad spokesmen for products, why in the world would 'Wendy's' feature Wendy Thomas?! OK, I know, she's the late founder's daughter and restaurant's namesake, but the woman is huge! Why remind everyone what eating at Wendy's does to your backside? Some people's egos!
On the other hand, if you're noshing at Wendy's you probably don't care about your health -- especially if you go for the Baconator. That puppy clocks in at 1,360 calories, three patties, nine strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and of course, all that mayo and ketchup. G-d help us!
