    Variety (well, one of their minor newsletters called Stylephile), sent out this link covering David (Mr. Posh) Beckham and his new Armani ad. They weren't too keen on it, specifically calling it "narcissistic homo-eroticism at its most blandly predictable."

    http://www.thestylephile.com/blog/330000033/post/60018606.html

    Ad and their blog notes can be found there. Any agreement/disagreement?

    Well, like one of the posters said, "I could care less about David Beckham...". Although very pretty, how much do we want to wager that something was stuffed to give it a more fuller appearance.

    I might have missed something in the marketing attempt though. Which Armani line are they selling? Underwear? Shirts? Cologne?

    I personally think that it is sexy as hell and believe that most of once would love to look like him. Not be him mind you, but look like that.

    Whether you agree with all the public hipe etc. that has surrounded him and his wife or not, the fact is the man is an exceptional athlete with an amazing body...

    And I don't know many men that would pass up the millions of dollars he was paid, to pose for such a sexy pic.

    But that may just be my opionon.

    People are disturbed by this but not by adds featuring half naked men murdered with the blood dripping knife still held in the hands of a nearby exposed female?

    D&G add I think that was. I forget exactly.

    I don't think the word "disturbed" was used.. just hum-ho and not doing much for selling the underwear.

    Sex sells, but unless buying the underwear is going to put a willing & eager Beckham in my bed, having him in the ad does nothing for me. More than half the guys on this website are as hot or hotter than he is, and would have looked just marvelous in that ad.

    Just looking at the ad, I agree with the critique that it's bland and boring. I'm no marketing guru (I do shop), but the ad certainly isn't breaking any new ground creatively.

    I also agree with Polobutt that David Beckham is just about the hottest, sexiest man alive.
    His pics in W magazine (link below) are frickin' amazing. His old fish of a wife (Posh) is in some of them, but just ignore her.

    Ok... I guess there is a reason that you're suppose to proof read what you write prior to posting... Especially after you've taken a Vicodin. Just noticed a few typo's Sorry guys! I'm usually so careful, or maybe I just couldn't get the picture out "the Beck" and "Beck Jr." out of my head!

    So the consensus tends to be that the ad is boring but we would all do 'something' to or with David Beckham. Poor Ms. Posh Spice might get really jealous.

    He has got universal sex appeal. Stuffed shorts or not. Victoria was on Larry King talking about how they sleep in the nude. She rubbed it in for the rest of us to the camera.

    Homo-erotic? Um... there's one guy there, and it's not like he's waving his ass as if to say, "Fuck me." Erotic, yes, homo... no.

    Yes it's quite boring, but so are most underwear campaigns right now. Boring and trite.

    Rather predictable ad featuring an above-average Anglo lad I'd say. Too bad they couldn't do something more creative...then again, when it comes to underwear ads the general consensus seems to be that a guy with a body posing in front of a backdrop is enough.

    obviously enhanced, but who's complaining?

    Beckham's hot, that's for sure, but I have to agree about the ad; It's boring. He's an athlete not a model, so highlight the person wearing the briefs. What makes him so hot to everyone, is that he's a hot athlete. I wanna see him bouncing a ball as close to naked as possible while flexing his ass dammit! Not reclining like an old Calvin Klein model circa 1991!

    i admit, i like the guy and seeing him as close to naked as possible is a plus. BUT, being the athlete he is, he should have been holding a soccer ball between his legs or above his head...something. He does look like a regular underwear model. I still like looking at it but im not buying any armani underwear!

    He's fine. Model or not. HE actually looks a bit bigger and more defined than usual. I think he is better looking clothed, normally. He can dress even better than his wife. He Tends to come off a bit skinny in other photos.

    This one. YUMMY

    Beckham is VG looking! I'd do him in a heart beat! LOL! I kinda like the "retro" B&W look. They're underwear for god sake! Guess what thay have inside of them....his ass and is genitals! As AustinGemini was lamenting in his "I'M ASHAMED" post....wear something that flatters and shows off the physique you work so hard to build! For some expensive "tighty-whity's" they do just that!

    David Beckham is sexy?

    Jeez...who knew?

    And there's homoeroticism used in advertising?

    Somebody get out there and tell Abercrombie & Fitch!
