it is creepy to think that these two, in the years of this media heavy relationship, that they have literally NEVER BEEN SEEN IN PUBLIC UNLESS SOMETHING IS FOR SALE. how fucking CREEPY is it that two people are never, ever, ever seen, either by fans or papers unless there is a product being sold. even weeks after ccc brith when they were all over londons social calendar, every single time a dress was being sold. it creeps me out that these two can’t step out w out begging for money
now that JT mentions it, i’ve followed quite a few celeb relationships. its a way to relax. lots of celebs have brand endorsements. its all over IG, they push cars etc. the thing that sticks out w Ben & Sophie is the sheer magnitude of the number of paid advertisements. its not one or two, or one or two brands. its literally every move they make they are selling some random product. shoes, cars, dresses, vacations, restaurants, random stores. its like they put a sign out saying “hire us”
prev anon. if you compare sophie and ben to any other celebrity couple, they (BC & SH) have just dozens and dozens of brands and products they are selling. just piles & piles of shit they are selling us. its such a contrast. i expect celebs to sell me shit. that comes w th territory , but there is something really desperate about these two. literally its like drove this car while wearing these clothes and walked in these shoes to this hotel and grabbed lunch at this restaurant. its ALL for sale
sorry, me again. i just i don’t know why the sheer magnitude of the amount of things they sell us hasn’t hit me until now. i laughed at the constant stream of shoes, and honestly thought “ok fine whatever”, but after reading JT it suddenly hit me that these two literally sell every single move they make. they sell the car they drive, they sell the clothes they wear, they sell the hotel they stay at, the umbrella store, the wedding, the christening outfits, the dresses. on and on and on.
you can actually chronologically go through every single public outing they have had and at every single interval, they were selling. every moment! every moment of every move has a link attached. they walk in NYC? her entire outfit gets a write up w links. they go on a honeymoon? every detail is pushing a specific brand. they go shopping? every store gets an in frame shot. they get juice or lunch? official employees get a media mention. i don’t think ive EVER seen a celeb brand EVERY MOVE of
of EVERY public appearance like this. ill give it to PR, i didn’t notice how much until now. i really didn’t. but i can now go through every single solitary public appearance these two have made from the very beginning and break down every single brand endorsement that was featured, and there was a brand for sale at every turn. every move. every car. every dress, every pair of shoes. every store shopped at. every restaurant. every hotel not one “move” publicly didn’t have at least one sale link
sorry about this anna. its just suddenly blowing my mind. i don’t know why, but its just hitting me now that every single public appearance they have made, from the first tweet to the photographs have all. all had a brand attached. all of it. every spot has had a vendor paying. they literally have branded movements. you can break down every public appearance and at every move, something was for sale

Nonny, it’s perfectly fine that your mind is blown by this. JT and others have pointed it out so many times, that I’ve basically become immune to it and barely even blink when I see the brands being advertised on Fail (and other publications) articles anymore. But yeah, it has been a constant since day one. I haven’t asked @benedicts-third-testicle, but I’m sure she has a spreadsheet about it lying somewhere (because Ms Ballsy LOVES her spreadsheets).
What is interesting is that Weirdo started out advertising specific couture brands over and over again, but as time wore on (and probably sales and clicks didn’t soar because nobody was interested in what Fetchless was wearing), the couture houses that have been favouring her have gotten more and more obscure.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on whether you’re cringing over her wearing soiled Valentino on a red carpet) Ben walking red carpets for major Hollywood films meant she got to feature a few big name couture houses again, but as time’s been wearing on, the only things she’s been selling on outings are shoes. And not even cute shoes…
And because the messiest showmance in the history of showmances is being run by the most inept PR team in the history of PR teams, sometimes the advertisements on Fail articles take a day or two to show up. Because… inept PR.
But yeah, I expect the product placements to keep on coming. It would seem Ben’s not paying Madame Fetchless enough, and she has to secure some pocket money for herself on the side after all, no?
