Guy Williams advertising faux pas - anyone else spot it?!

[sonjafoers]

I had to laugh at this:

On page 41 of the latest BS magazine there's an advert for Superfix Supplements which quotes Guy Williams as saying "my horses look fantastic on them and have never jumped better".

On the next page there's a feature called "I couldn't live without....." and in his interview Guy Williams says he couldn't live without Hickstead Horse Feeds because "it has everything they need to keep them on top form so they don't need supplements."

Oops

Lol, that's brilliant! You've got sharper eyes than me as I missed that! Must admit I don't see the point in the 'couldn't live without' bit, as the all couldn't live without their freebies, boring!!

I agree, they're all going to think the stuff they endorse/get for free is the bees knees. However, having put his name to a product perhaps he should be a bit more aware of what he says - even if he doesn't actually use it!

haha huge fail as my son would say

 

[Brimmers]

oops! he might get in trouble for that one!

I should think it would be his marketing people that would be in trouble rather than him! They are the one that check all press releases!

I agree kp31, I doubt he even says half the stuff he is quoted on as it's probably his marketing team speaking for him.

However, maybe the magazine should have had a bit more sense and not put the advert & the quote one page apart

Yes they clearly didn't' have it checked through properly! Not the best start to a new look magazine is it!
