Personal Identity

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

It seems so odd to read that Ali sold his name for 50 million dollars. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me because celebrities do it everyday for different products and brands. It’s all about using your image to sell something, whether that something be you or some other item.

I guess if I became famous, I’d use myself as a stepping stone to a higher bank balance. I think that’s one of those situations that I couldn’t answer unless I was facing it. As it stands, the only people that would make money off my identity are the thieves and even then, they wouldn’t make much.
