Introducing Katie Price: Global Economics Expert* (*Not Strictly True)

Pricey The Economist

It's not exactly unusual for famous types to have their Twitter account hacked (just ask Britney, Gaga, et al) so when a series of tweets about the current global economic crisis appeared on Katie Price's official Twitter page, more than a few perfectly shaped eyebrows were raised.

After all, comments on Eurozone debt and China's monetary policy aren't exactly the sort thing we're used to hearing from the Pricey, but even the model herself admitted she hadn't actually been hacked.

The first tweet, which appeared last night, said: "Great news about China’s latest GDP figures!!" and was quickly followed by: "Chinese leaders now likely to loosen monetary policy to stimulate growth. Yay!!"

Eh?

And it wasn't long before the Eurozone was being discussed by the glamour model too: "OMG!! Eurozone debt problems can only be properly solved by true fiscal union!!! #comeonguys" she wrote, before signing off with, "Large scale quantitative easing in 2012 could distort liquidity of govt. bond market. #justsayin"

So what was going on? Well, in true Pricey fashion it was all in the name of promotion - for a chocolate bar to be precise.

The stunt was part of an advertising campaign for Snickers, which Katie later posted a piccie of her posing with followed by the message, "You're not you when you're hungry."

You can say that again.
