Then why does he accept lucrative advertising dollars to try to convince people (including youth) which cell phone plan to use, or which shoes to wear, or anything else. If you are taking money for the express purpose of trying to influence people's behavior or decisions, you are not only a "role model" but in fact a PAID ROLE MODEL.
