Fresca: I missed the Canadian Club faux retrosexual ad, not sure if it aired over here. Will go and see if I can find it online. But as you say, when you have to market something as self-consciously 'non-metrosexual', complete with phoney pictures of old-time 'real guys' you know it's all over.

They've been out for several months, but I recently saw my first poster of this ad here in Minneapolis, Minnesota--in one of our most metrosexual bus stops... The "dad" is pictured in a fishing boat with a couple other guys being nonmetrosexual. Once you have to advertise nonmetrosexuality as retro-chic, seems to me it's all over.
