I must be slacking in my migrant duties.

The hypocrisy of it. He's advertising unhealthy products that rot kids teeth and is therefore dodging his responsibility as a hero to the children of NZ... all to make some money. Praps the NZRU should pay him more so that he doesn't set these double standards.

Get off your bloody extremist high horse!

He has no responsibility to the children of NZ! He's a sports player of a let's chase a ball on grass variety. Woop di doo basil if he fronts for Coke. Do you never drink soft drinks in front of kids?! Wouldn't want them copying you now would you, you bloody drug pedaller!

Any kid who is that fanatic about something like rugby will probably end up working for the local mill anyway, don't need nice teeth for that job!

So he's not a role model then? I drink Coke in front of my kids and tell them they can't have any and explain why and I would expect similar consideration from role models... but that's ok, there's money to be earned.

Fair point.

Bet you don't worship at the temple of JK on a daily basis like me either. I'm a very good gurl

Michael Jones is peddling health insurance and Stacy Jones is the face of instant Finance. Piri's a bigger fish right now, but his promotion of bad products is usual for these guys. David Tua and Burger King....

I agree that these guys should consider the products they promote..... He looked bad in his last game so nyeh nyeh

Is there much positive TV for these guys to advertise these days? or doesn't it "pay"?

It's possible he wasn't properly "hydrated".

Maybe he should go hang with lucy lawless for a few days

God damn you knobs this whole thread is a pisstake.

Busted!!! although it does raise a few questions. I understand why Piri's doing what he's doing and I don't "blame" him in the slightest... tis a shame that these guys have to endorse products for people in order to earn more money.

Where's the "have"? All Blacks earn plenty without their personal endorsements.

[scissorhands]

So judge them thus

Piri has a manager who is a soulless money whore willing to facilitate that Piris fans including children be hoodwinked into buying shit drinks, for $$ and fame in the media.... Hes already got toddlers on the bad milk, may as well go for kids and adults as well...............

I hope all goes well for him, and he understands social responsibility better in the future. Maybe he needs a hard lesson...
