Ten pictures of phoney football fans pretending to watch football on TV in the name of selling beer, credit cards or tawdry, soon-to-be-outdated electronic devices

It’s pleasing to know that talentless, unimaginative ad executives all around the world were paid hundreds of thousands of pounds – maybe more – for their efforts in putting together these these extremely realistic photo-scenarios.
