I have no problem with famous people using their name/image to make money, but when you begin lending your name to products that have nothing to do with your talent, it's just absurd and greedy.
There is a point when you become like Krusty the Clown and start saying, "I heartily endorse this event or product;" he's very close to that.
The way the press release tries to equate Lang Lang's pasion for music with footware is absurd to the point of parody.
