Diet Cock: Coca Cola’s Porno Promo
As an avid voyeur of the media’s marketing of the male body I meant to write about this new Diet Coke advert ‘Gardener’ when it first strutted its stuff a a month or so back, but it completely slipped my mind — like a chilled, beading soft drink can in a lubed hand. Apologies. Obviously …
Nightmare Balls
Once again, I’m very grateful that American feminists have scientifically proven (by looking at dusty back issues of Rolling Stone magazine) that men aren’t ‘really’ objectified, only women are. Because it means that this eye-popping ad for toilet cleaner featuring a tarty boy band suspended beneath the rim of a toilet in cages, imploring ‘baby’ to …

Tom Cruise is reportedly working on a script for a sequel to Top Gun.

Men’s Tits, Women’s Balls & Gavin Henson’s Tarty Body
This jokey Canadian ad is aimed, I believe, at encouraging women to regularly check their breasts for strange lumps. Though it seems to have been side-tracked by, er, checking out strange lumps. Albeit perfectly-formed and waxed ones. For my charity money the blond, buffed, fashion-bearded presenter’s best asset isn’t his chest but his man-humps — …

Becks’ Bum: Satisfaction or Disappointment?
I don’t have much to say about the much-discussed latest Beckham ad for his H&M pants, directed by fellow LA-loving Brit Guy Ritchie, in which he runs through Beverly Hills in his white slippers as the props and scenery conspire to remove his clothes, Cupid Stunt–like. Except: Those slippers must be really, really snug to stay on. And: …
