And it all decides on how extreme the action is by the endorsed. On the one you can look at it as any publicity is good publicity. From a business standpoint by keeping the endorsements the company can look as if they agree or support the destructive behavior of the endorsed. But celebrities should know by now that they are under constant scrutiny and that the smallest action that is considered out of the norm by society standards could affect their careers in an undesirable fashion. It doesn't matter if its as extreme as Britney's breakdown or something as small as 2004 democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean's yeehaw heard around the world.

I have mixed emotions about these people and their public lives because none of this stuff would even matter if they weren't known across the country and the world. The media hypes up all of their "issues" like they were previously saints. People are are only human!. We ALL make mistakes and have done stupid stuff, but it's not broadcast all over the media. I say I don't condone their actions but hey it's their life and I will not judge them. What they do on their personal time is between them and their maker.
