I felt like I was in some backwater town when I was cruising along Paradise Road and by chance flipped on a local radio station.
A couple of talkative disc jockeys were chatting each other up over David Beckham's scintillating billboard ads sprouting up around the Nation.
I posted an item on that months ago. Old news, isn't it? Gee, news travels at a snail's pace in Sin City, I guess.
One disc spinner noted that the risque blurbs of Becks in tight undies caused quite a commotion in San Francisco. And - I got the distinct impression that he was afraid that the mere mention of the gay mecca by the bay - might turn his sexual persuasion the other way. Or, at least make his own preference suspect.
"That underwear thing is - uh - big up there," he noted with a suspiciously fake masculine tone to his voice.
"Is it a Calvin Klein ad," the other host queried.
Duh!
Well, it was pretty obvious the other guy was hetero, all the way.
Any self-respecting gay man would know that the splashy sexy ads are for Menswear Designer, Emporio Armani.
"The thing about this underwear - um - is that it makes your business look big."
Ah, this is the one occasion I regretted there was no visual image to match up with the dialogue. Did he actually utter that comment with a - er - straight face?
Business? Are they in the dark ages in Vegas?
Heh dudes, it's okay to say package, Johnson, crotch - whatever.
In fact, no one in the range of your air waves is going to cringe, I expect. After all, this is the land of the scantily-clad bodacious babe and "thunder" from down under!
Well, maybe a bit of locker-room chat will give a handful of horny listeners a swelled - um - head. Don't know about you dudes, but suggestive words can be a naughty thrill to some if they're emoted just right.
"And, he looks humongous," the jock continued.
Ah, the dude has obviously been taking a serious gander at those shots, eh?
I am surprised they didn't wonder aloud if Becks was uncircumcised - the soccer stud being a Brit - and all.
Maybe, the Armani folks will bring out the uncut version at a later date, do 'ya think?
"Well, he's no Mario Lopez for sure," the observant (!) dude chuckled before moving on to the next tidbit of gossip.
Mario who?
The long and short of it? Obviously, Becks gets a kick out of the titillation and thrills.
Check out the impromptu snap below taken recently on a downtown Hotel balcony.
Wonder who's on the end of his scope?
I'm betting it's not Posh, that's for sure!
