Does Matt Lauer Know He’s Sponsoring Acai Berry Supplements?

Chris Ariens at TVNewser noticed today that Matt Lauer’s image has popped up on an e-mail advertisement for PureAcaiBerry. Acai berry supplement can supposedly help you lose weight, but can it also prevent lawsuits from major media figures?

Here’s hoping! The connection to NBC’s Lauer comes from his annual travels during sweeps. This year, while in Brazil, he met with some locals who use the berry for all sorts of health reasons. One Web site claims it’s “the viagra of the rainforest.” We’re not going to make the connection between the middle-aged Lauer and Acai’s blood-pumping abilities.
