This isn’t just a WAG, it’s an M&S WAG

When Marks & Spencer received flak for charging extra for bigger bra sizes, they were quick to spin the negative press into something positive, by rolling out a traffic-halting Billboard campaign featuring a fantastic, yet anonymous pair of breasts.

Yet that’s exactly what happened when Sunderland midfielder Kieran Richardson cuckolded away 20-year-old model Anara Atanes. She said:
