Who’s endorsing the ESV?
internetmonk is being mischievous.
See here: ESV Study Bible Product Placement Photos Needed
And here: Exhibits for the Lawsuit
But of course there is a serious point here. We rely on celebrity endorsements for our Bible purchases. Whether that is the pastor or a conference speaker or a denominational leader, we depend on others to decide which Bible is best.
So, is this joke funny?

J.I. Packer endorses it but I think he went overboard when he called the ESV the biggest milestone in Bible translation in certainly the last half century at least, and perhaps more.

That really was funny.
Who is endorsing the ESV? I don't have a clue who this person is, so I'm no doubt missing the joke.
You're a lucky in your ignorance. That's Oprah Winfrey, a famous talk-show host.
The opposite problem, where I live is: If the pastor or conference speaker endorses nothing, the people will read nothing.
