Deakin, TopgearPH and Dashcams

[Ry_Tower]

It's his line of work ... a man has to earn ... it's like saying all lawyers are bad because some are defending guilty clients ... it's just work ...

is he doing anything bad or illegal? ....i say its ok. if it puts food on the table..

I agree, it may be just that he is overexposing himself pero "strike while the iron is hot" ika nga. Hindi naman habambuhay sikat ka eh.

Ano nangyari doon sa vlog niya kasama si BBM? Natuloy ba? Binalik ba niya yun bayad sa kanya?

This is what got me disappointed with JD.

Endorsements, that's part of his work. He built his reputation through the years and earned it; it's up to him to see how he maintains that reputation/

On another note, i got rear ended yesterday on my way to work. Based on the feed from the rear camera, i'm betting there's a high chance the driver was distracted (mobile phone perhaps).

What will Deakin endorse next? Last I saw was a printer and now a urine bag??? WTH. Can it get any more worse than that?

I used to admire him a lot before he became popular on FB. I thought he was one of those perfect guys - good looking, intelligent, well spoken, excellent writer and with good values. But now he just made himself so cheap It's such a turn off! And his followers are becoming a turn off too, lahat ng raffle pinapatulan. Natatawa na lang ako sa followers niya na fan na fan, they have not met the likes of crush who is more perfect than their idol. lol.

"Cheap" nga, pero mayaman naman. A more mass-market approach always captures a broader audience and always gets paid more.

As everyone else is saying, he's just making the most of the opportunity. His fame can vanish in the blink of an eye, as it did with Vernon. He's lucky that his picture with BBM was swept under the rug very quickly.

Not everything is about money though...

Some people value dignity and integrity more than anything else. IMO he lost that when he became a sell out. That's just my IMO

Makes me admire my German boss even more. He refused a promotion because he values time more than money. He knows he will lose that once he gets promoted.

Si JD lahat ata ng endorsements pinapatulan.

Hindi ba marangal magendorse ng urine bag? Iba yung dignity sa pasosyal ah.

Yung BBM endorsement that's something else completely of course.

Imagine a UV express ipit sa traffic, hindi na mapigil ni manong driver. Pulls out the urine bag. Fire away!

Eh dalawa pa naman katabi niya sa harap.

Hindi ako pasosyal, pero para sakin nakaka walang dignidad na na lahat na lang ng endorsement pinapatulan.

Why is it so hard to understand that what I find cheap is he became a SELL OUT.

That's my opinion and that will not change.

Not everything is about money at pagpapayaman.

Oh well, iba iba naman values ng mga tao. I better not make any negative comment about idol JD

I understand why you have that opinion. If I were coming from your vantage point and had safety nets as large as yours, I'd quickly think that's cheap too. But again, cheap is not equal to lack of dignity.

Yung nanay ko nagbebenta dati ng mangga sa simbahan every Sunday para mapagaral lang ako sa private school nung elementary. Cheap? Hell yeah. Pero marangal yun.

Hindi ako Deakin fan. Never was, most especially not now after the BBM association. But I would gladly endorse urine bags or whatever masa product there is if it would mean that I'll have enough to provide a safety net for my children in the future. Hindi naman importante sakin opinyon ng ibang tao, importante sakin makapagprovide ako sa pamilya ko.

I would expect that you would think Deakin is a sellout because he's no longer the conyo, malinis, stereotype that you probably liked about him before. Again, that's your opinion and I'm not at all surprised that you have that opinion.

But to call endorsing cheap products as not dignified, i.e. not worthy of honor or respect, that I will strongly disagree with you.

I think nagsimula kasi yan na parang sell out si deakin dahil parang concern na concern doon sa TNVS issue pero he was paid naman to defend them. Nothing wrong with it, tingin ng Grab and uber na siya ang Right person to defend their cause which is correct naman.

Pero sana meron disclaimer na bayad siya and we can't blame naman yun ibang tao isipin na kung hinde siya binayaran Would he be as passionat sa issue? Plus nadagdagan pa yun kay BBM. He's willing to endorse anyone Pala basta meron bayad tapos ginamit pang dahilan si Kris Aquino to defend his action. Supalpal tuloy kay Kris. Natame me siya nun sinabi ni Kris na they were paid to do it. Na huwag na magplastikan dahil binayaran silang dalawa for the job.

As for him endorsing products. No problem with it, dahil obvious naman na binayaran siya.

Cheap kung cheap pero if it will bring food to my table, then i'd still do it.

Re: sa Marcos thing, would you do it knowing you'll receive millions but lose your dignity in the process? BUT! you bring food to the table.

Agree. Medyo deceitful yung kunwari concerned citizen lang pero bayad pala.

Yung BBM issue, malaking X talaga. And obvious na hindi rin naman siya as clean as people think, with the way he misled people with Kris when it was a totally different circumstance. I don't usually draw hard lines, but I automatically lose respect for Marcos apologists.

I don't have a large safety net. I am as middle class as one can get. A person's opinion is not dependent naman on his or her financial capability.

There is nothing cheap about selling mangoes. My favorite Uncle who recently passed away sold fresh produce (fruits and veggies) and juice drinks at the weekend market. He can sell tinapa or tuyo and I would still think he is cool.

Also, I don't think endorsing products popular with the masses is not cheap. What I find cheap about James Deakin - lahat pinapatulan. Does he even decline endorsements? Does he even patronize these products? He lives a comfortable life and he won't go hungry if he chooses his endorsements. I think a person with integrity will only promote or sells products that he or she believes in.

[uls]

i think i know what Cathy means

mahina lang siya mag explain (high IQ low EQ kasi si Cathy hehehe... peace )

it's like this -- if Deakin would filter the work he accepts

like only accepting work with automakers

or only accepting work with big companies

he would look classy

ang point ni Cathy, it seems Deakin is accepting everything that comes along

ang dating kasi sayang pag pinalampas... pera din yan

which makes Deakin look not very classy

that i think is Cathy's point

[uls]

or if Deakin gets a real job nalang

with his nice image he'd make a good company spokesperson

[stayhungry]

Like joining the sactown kings for max money - losing is more palatable with mils in the bank

Stay hungry. Stay humble.

Yun nga. Cheap naman talaga yung dating ng sandamakmak na endorsements ng kung anu ano.

Which brings me back to my original point - "cheap" man, wala siya pake. Pera pa rin yan, sayang naman. Marangal na trabaho pa rin yan.

On the question of why he doesn't turn down opportunities just because ok naman na siya - kung mapapagaral ko anak ko sa Ivy League school dahil sa dami ng endorsements ko, aba why not. Yes komportable na kong mapagaral anak ko sa Ateneo o La Salle, but I'd want to be able to provide if kunwari nagkachance siya mag-Ivy League.

Dami kong batchmates nung HS ang tataas ng SAT scores, pasado sana sa mga US schools. Pero nakatuloy lang samin mag-aral sa US yung kaibigan kong mayaman, dahil sobrang mahal magpaaral dun.

Again, he's simply striking while the iron is hot. Sayang ang opportunity. Si Maine Mendoza din naman ganyan - anak mayaman yun (dealer ng gas station parents niya), pero sinulit niya popularity niya dahil sayang naman hindi lahat nabibigyan ng ganung opportunity. I doubt na gumagamit siya ng Bench cologne, Rejoice shampoo, or Talk n Text, but siyempre kung kinuha siyang endorser sayang naman.

I don't think Deakin cares whether a random stranger thinks he's cheap or not. Heck, the guy didn't even care much about the association to Marcos.
