I always assumed *none* of those guys actually had their bottles filled with whatever horse piss they were pimping, and instead had it filled with coconut water or something other than poison, except for maybe Rossi. I always imagined he had his filled with Cinzano, to go with his fags.
Have to say, the global economy's hit everybody hard. GP and F1 were the two racing series where you'd be spared from having to watch your heroes turn into complete whores in the interview and remind everyone every chance they got who actually paid the bills. Turn on Nascar and like little trained monkeys every mention of "the car" became "my Kmart Blue Light Special Vagisil Cream Chevrolet Lumina." It's become just as disgusting every time they're caught on camera in the garage to see the MotoGP guys consciously remember to grab their bottle of Gonads and Fromunda energy piss. Probably half the reason Crutchlow is so desperate for that factory ride is so he doesn't have to subject himself to that humiliation anymore.
