Cristiano Ronaldo’s luxury blanket launch gets a mixed response

Imagine being a world-famous footballer and wanting honest reactions to a new product launch.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the hardest-working men in the world when it comes to getting his name out there. Which is strange, considering there can't be too many people who aren't aware of him. No, we're not talking about the recently announced Cristiano Ronaldo Airport in Madeira. We had this. https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/412300885713121280

And this.

And who could forget this?

https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/387986922162753536 His latest endorsement is altogether more refined, with the Euro 2016 winner announcing the unveiling of a luxury blanket range. Don't pretend you needed to ask whether his name was on there. https://twitter.com/Cristiano/status/758302542619172864 We feel sorry for Cristiano, though. After sending the tweet (and we can only assume he sent it himself, the perfectionist that he is), he will have wanted to find out how well-received the blanket range was amongst his fans. And sure, he got a fair bit of praise. https://twitter.com/moh_abdeen11/status/758303040831094788 https://twitter.com/fatimamadriidyy/status/758304599820406788

As well as some constructive feedback.

But mostly it was stuff like this.

And, quite frankly, we're not sure we even want to.
