    John Terry is in the news again and this time it appears a tobacco company has used his image without consent.

    haha it does look like him a little! But who really knows if they would try to pull off a trick like that by posting Terry without his permition!

    Don't people know that they can get sued for anything these days??

    Thats true, Ive seen billboards here in Costa Rica with some crappy brand with Jennifer Lopez' face or Britney Spears... I think I even saw Wesley Snipes' face on a hair gel product.

    John Terry may be a lot of things but taking his image and using on a pack of cigarettes is appalling.
