If You Can't afford drugs for your cancer, become a mascot.

Get this. In this report, a guy has a rare form of cancer, requiring specialist drugs. The report LOOKS good, with him giving reasonable basic advice for anyone with cancer.. but what is the sub-plot? Why is he bothering?
BECAUSE HE'S BEING PAID BY THE DRUG COMPANY!!!

So let me get my head around this.. when you are a football star, you get paid by companies because you are a football star. when you are a tennis star you get paid to wear or drink or promote products. So.. if I get cancer can I ask companies for sponsorship because... what? I have cancer - and I'm good at having cancer???!!!

Is this weird to you or am I alone on this one?
