Dapper fashionisto poses on Italian scooter, sockless, helmetless. Obviously, he lives life on the edge (helmetless – in the city!). A beautiful woman gazes quizzically upon him (thinking, “Is this it? I should have scarfed that tub of Häagen-Dazs last night after all.”). Another ad features a kohl-eyed boy in a frilly tux; most of his face is obscured by a whopper bang. He’s shilling for some chichi scent, but selling lifestyle.Fashion slaves unite! Why seek inspiration from glossy manvertisements? Take my free advice. Forget the über-bang, and never, ever, smell like a girl. (I realize I’m becoming my Dad.)

Am reminded of a fine tune by the Propellerheads with the chorus "He's got a nice body / He's wearing velvet pants." Bang Boy sounds cute. Sockless Dude, not so much.
