Celebrity Sell Out

The low-down on celebrity marketing news from Brand Republic

The Aussies have come up with a nifty bit of product placement following George W. Bush’s exit from The White House as America welcomed Barack Obama. In Sydney’s Daily Telegraph today, Veet, the hair removal brand, waved goodbye to the former and not, ahem, always popular president with a cheeky pun: veet-bush Veet's hair removal products take just a few seconds to remove any unwanted fluff.  Pity it took eight years to remove the other W Bush, who was also as unwanted as  a pile of pubic hair and left behind him a decidedly larger pile of crap. We need some suggestions for product straplines to welcome the conquering hero Obama, got any ideas?
