DeSean Jackson: The Mandalay Bay Ass Kissing Bandit

Even guys who get paid $50B to prance around on yard catching balls resort to social media ass kissing to get what they want out of Las Vegas resorts.

Case in point, DeSean Jackson, wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, puckered his social media lips up to the ass of Mandalay Bay to get himself a comped weekend at THEhotel and some ass grabbing action at Moorea Beach Club.

Desean Tweets Mandalay Bay

It is obvious that he's got some social media handlers operating this thing for him as he's transitioned into crowd sourcing a discussion amongst his followers about their "favorite stuff" at Mandalay Bay.

Nowhere does he mention that this is a sponsored conversation wherein he admits that he is being paid (in access, free rooms etc) to say nice things about the gift giver. These actions put both Desean and Mandalay Bay in violation of Federal Trade Commission guidelines for sponsored endorsements and fairness in advertisement principles. If only these laws would be enforced....

UPDATE: This is the list of all the players Mindy Brummett, Mandalay Bay Director of Entertainment has shilled rooms to in exchange for tweets and their annual salaries for playing sports.

Jeremy Pargo - NBA Memphis Grizzlies, 2012 salary $1,000,000
Quincy Pondexter - NBA Memphis Grizzlies, 2012 salary $1,153,800

Better yet look at Mindy's twitter feed... Looks like a lot of other pros getting free stuff.

Holy... fuck.

My favorite is the one about the "shark tank downstairs".
