Ad Watch: Liu Xiang Endorses Everything
Liu Xiang will make about 70 million yuan ($10.24 million) this year, making him the second highest paid athlete in China (and Forbes magazine's number two Chinese celebrity, ahead of Jet Li). If you're wondering why a guy who only runs in one Olympic event -- the 110 meter hurdles -- can make so much money, there's an easy answer: he endorses everything. Cadillac, Coca Cola, Lenovo, Nike, Visa -- even a Chinese milk company called Yili and an obscure Chinese clothing line: all are endorsed by Liu Xiang. (He recently stopped endorsing Baisha, a cigarette company.)Here's one of his ads for another sponsor, Nutrilite, in which he's paired with Jamaican 100 meter sprinter Asafa Powell, formerly the World's Fastest Man.

Do these electronic cigarettes really feel like the real thing? I watched a video at this website but don't know what to think. Are there any real smokers out there that aren't promoting a product that can tell me what you really think?

Greetings from the land of the very expensive Ben & Jerrys! Turkey Hill ice cream is very good and affordable. Maybe you could sell mini Turkey Hill ice cream containers with a gift certificate on-line next Christmas. I think it would make a really neat Christmas gift for my daughters elementary teachers or Secret Santa presents. Happy Holidays.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
