Beckham, Reeves, Connery in a Chinese Medical TV Commercial
Posted on Feb 18, 2009 by Steven Lin | Filed under: Shanzhai
As Variety magazine recently reported, after local media disclosed that one actor had played four experts using different names while advertising drugs, China has banned actors from posing as medical experts or patients in commercials, following its ban on thesps and celebrities hosting medical shows imposed late last year.
Frankly, it’s not a big deal. Smart shanzhai Sildenafil Citrate makers have quickly figured out how to get rid of this annoying new rule. If Chinese actors got banned, we can still “hire” virile celebrities from the Premier League, Hollywood, and MI6:
Here’s a brief transcription in English for the insanely creative Chinese-dubbed testimonies.
David Beckham: Wanna know how I can keep being strong and running on the football field? USA Selikon (美国生力康) capsules helped me a lot! It’s also the secret weapon with which I can satisfy Victoria.
Keanu Reeves: That’s great! The feelings after my kidneys got washed by USA Selikon capsules are surprising. And my girlfriends were also surprised!
Sean Connery: I turned 70 this year. But with the help of USA Selikon capsules, I was praised by Barbra (who the hell?) that I’m still THE James Bond, forever 25. I told my old friends, “You should try USA Selikon capsules!”

“Barbra” could refer to Barbara Broccoli, co-producer of the James Bond films, and daughter of Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli who used to produce James Bond films.
Although he wasn’t 25 when he was first cast as Bond, he was 32 when Dr No was released.
