Hanes Underwear Commercials

Have I ever blogged about these things? I'm sure I have, but I'm going to do it again.

They must be popular, these commercials, because they've been airing for several years.

Michael Jordan is seated in a plane minding his own business, and some white guy comes up to him and gushes about Haines underwear. We get closeups of Jordan's amused - bemused - contemptuous face - as the guy shows off his waistband and then does some deep squats to show Jordan - who presumably should know himself - just how comfy they are.

One hopes that no one in real life would actually approach a celebrity and do this (although unfortunately there are probably a few deluded indidivuals who would do this - which is one of the reasons why this commercial is so creepy).

Little bit of homoeroticiscm goin' on there? (Not that there's anything wrong with that - in the proper venue. But commercials on TV - no.)
