Barbara Walters Is Anti Anti-Aging Ad

Posted Jun 16th 2009 1:37PM by TMZ Staff

Barbara Walters has been around forever -- but that doesn't mean she endorses every anti-aging pill on the planet.

Barbara Walters

Walters is pissed at something called Exilatrol for using her picture in one of their online ads. Next to her photo it says, "As seen on Barbara Walters and 60 Minutes." She tweeted her displeasure, saying, "If u see ads for products with Resveratrol showing my photo and name they are false."

Babs talked about Resveratrol, an ingredient in Exilatrol, in an anti-aging special in 2008 -- but she has never specifically endorsed any product.

5. But the ad doesn't say she endorses it simply 'as seen on' if she talked about it on a show then the ad isn't really saying anyting false at all.

6. This companys has been using Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, and Courteney Cox's pictures in their ads too.

And #4-it is ILLEGAL to use someone's image for any reason without their permission. Especially a public figure.

7. I've been promoting Exilatrol for months as part of an affiliate program. $50 per sale is pretty decent... who cares if I use Bab's image? MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!

8. #5 Really? Then TMZ, every newspaper, tabloid, news story and late night TV show that has ever run a story about a celeb or politition without first getting permission to air the persons image is in some big trouble. Not saying Babs couldn't take civil litigation to fight the use of her image but they can still print that she talked about it on her show, if in fact that is what happened and she might even lose a fight over the image if she spoke positively about the product at the time on air.

9. #9- TMZ and other "news" programs using the images to report news is completely different than someone or some company using the images for financial gain, endorsement of a product, etc. You are putting words in someone's mouth. Think about it... would you be concerned with someone posting your picture on some ad that read "I LIKE IT IN THE BUTT WITH A BIG FIST"??? It's common sense really. But I am in the wrong place to expect that.

11. I was scammed by this company. Tried to cancel, they already mailed the next batch, no refunds!!!! They also sign you up for some other program, read the fine print very, very carefully! Better yet, don't order this one!!!!!!!!!!

12. Using Barbara Walters in an anti- aging ad is like using Amy Winehouse for an anti-drug ad, as in "This is What You Don't Want to Be/Look Like." Barbara Walters eyelids have been so stretched her eye balls are bulging and her mouth is so tight her lisp is even worse. The only ad I can think of for Barbara Walters is "I'm So Full of Myself That I Will Be In Your Face Until I Drop Dead, Like It Or Lump It. I Am Babwa WaWa."

13. Barbara Walters just stares at herself on the TV monitors where-ever she goes, it's so annoying. Walters also does her old lady quick step trying to look YOUNG but actually looking OLD, (young people don't do that). Walters "day" has come and gone, exit the stage Barbara.

Walters also does her annoying "Library Lady quiet speech" and FINALLY even Whoopi Goldberg said today on The View, "What? I can't hear you!" Barbara thinks her quiet speech demands more attention but it is a reminder of her OLD AGE.

Walters also thinks saying "penis" makes her cool, it makes her sickening.

Exit the stage, Barbara, you did your work. Even though you are a fake screwing all over the place while trying to look like a "journalist". The streets are filled with women who think they are "journalists", if you can my drift.

14. Barbara Walters is really 110 years old...

15. Babwa should stick to pushing Depends or caskets.

Ha ha good one - re: Using Barbara Walters in an anti- aging ad is like using Amy Winehouse for an anti-drug ad
