Do you think that when celebrities endorse products,they really believe in them.If not do you feel that you would lose respect for them endorsing a product in which they didnt believe in?

of course they don't "believe" in them, they're being paid to do a job.

There was some talk in the US in the last year about endorsers of products being potentially liable for their subsequent mis-use / or abuse.. which would really put an end to the whole concept of celebrity endorsement quick time.
