I did literally thousands of commercials both in TV and Radio. I wrote, directed and produced ADDY award winners. Sometimes I believed in the product, sometimes I didn't. It wasn't up to me but the public to buy into it or not. Someone wants to sponsor you, if you have no qualms then do it. It's up to YOUR listener to decide to buy into it or not. When I was on the air, I NEVER personally endorsed a product I didn't use and approve of. Welcome to Capitalism! :)
