Normal guys



Okay, I am pretty big on expanding the cultural notions of
attractiveness, natural body images, etc.

I like this ad for a number of reasons along those lines.

But something about the ad doesn't feel 'right' to me.

Maybe the big bulky drawers looking like diapers...
or the milky white tan-less complexion of most of
the guys pictured...

and maybe (if I'm honest) my own internalized homophobia
cuz several guys are very fey looking in that feminine
Nova Scotian kind of way. (sorry...)

But I still like the attempt at promoting regular body types...

and the bear on the far right is beyond scrumptious.

That was worth it for me!
