Has there ever been a fake TED Talks?

Not sure if I'm in the right category to be asking this question here. But since TED talks are usually about Culture and Science, I think I'm in the right place.
Body of question: I just saw a TED talk that if you look at it from a different perspective, it would appear to be a gigantic advertisement for the person, or persons, who would benefit from the talk?
