Not that I think Ed is doing anything wrong. I think if someone offered me a load of cash to appear in some shitty advert, I'd take the money too. The fact that the press statement is so obviously transparent makes is a bonus. I'm pretty sure no-one will think that Ed actually thinks this. I especially like the way that global has been capitalised. Unless LG and Prada are both owned by a mega-corp called Global, in which case the joke's on me I guess.
