Hmm, seems like a potential example of reversed stupidity not being intelligence.
I think we should refrain from trying to publicize this, for that reason. People perceiving cryonics as "that weird thing Simon Cowell signed up for" are unlikely to sign up themselves.
Simon Cowell is known as the brutally honest [singing contest] judge. He worked himself up in the music industry and doesn't seem to be a nutjob. Personally, I think his name is good for the reputation of cryonics.
I agree with this. It seems to me that the publicity cryonics would tend to get from Simon Cowell would tend to be much better than if e.g. Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton were to go through with it.
He's well known, and he doesn't seem to be too much of a nutjob; I'm just afraid he's not very well liked.
In addition, he demonstrated himself to be a very fast driver on Top Gear, the most watched television show in the world.
I also agree. As far as celebrity endorsements go, Cowell isn't bad.
