Recently the issue of celebrities endorsing shoddy products has become the focus of public concern. As can be seen in the cartoon, a star is touting inferior products like a hand puppet. Behind the curtain is hiding an unethical manufacturer who is manipulating the puppet.
This phenomenon has exerted a pernicious influence on the society. First, it has led to a huge waste of money. Celebrities try to endorse every product from clothing, make-up, fitness equipment to tonic medicine. Faithful fans often end up buying many items they do not really need. What’s worse, some celebrities would peddle anything as long they are handsomely paid. Many products they endorse endanger people’s health or even lives. A poignant example here is that several celebrities had endorsed the melamine-tainted Sanlu milk powder, which caused six babies dead and nearly 300,000 others sick in 2008.
It is unrealistic to expect all celebrities and manufacturers to behave themselves. To shield the public from the mercenary endorsers, the government should enact stricter laws to punish those who advertise substandard products. (175 words)
