Isnt this just advertising? I dont really understand how this is any different from other forms of celebrity endorsements such as basketball players pitching nike's. These guys faces are even on the flyers to the parties.
- aetherson 11y agoI think that there's a sense that, like, if you go and endorse a Nike shoe, okay, you might get paid a lot of money, but you still go and do a photo-shoot and maybe spend a frustrating day being filmed doing a jump-shot and have the director saying, "Okay, but can you do that with more intensity," whereas going to a club is supposed to be fun -- indeed, such fun that lots of basically ordinarily people pay fairly large amounts of money to go to it. So these people are being paid not to, like, fake go to a club in front of cameras and it's work, but literally be paid to have fun. I expect that the actuality of it is a little more complex than that, but there does seem like there's a grain of truth in it, too.
