I am a bad goth.

Maybe it loses something with the audio off, but I don't think that award-winning Campari "genderfuck" ad is particularly stylish, and I sure as fuck don't find it sexy. Yes, it's clever and well-composed.

However, I've already seen The Crying Game, thanks.

Suffice it to say, even if I didn't think it tasted like medicinal asshole sweat, the commercial certainly doesn't make me want to drink Campari... "Swig some of this stuff, and you won't have any idea what sex the person you're flirting with is."

No thanks.

I'm down on androgyny, I'm afraid. I like guys to be built like guys, and women who are recognizably feminine. To bastardize and repurpose something clever cavalorn said several years ago, "Those two having sex would be like me banging two bicycles together."

In beer commercials, there's none of that ambiguity.

I don't do subtle.

Heh. I just think the guy is hot. :)

I've spent my share of time in a form-fitting velvet skirt, and no amount of makeup would fool anyone but the most desperately impaired into thinking I've got indoor plumbing.

Which one are you counting as the guy? Appearances at the beginning, or at the end?

Yes.

To be fair, though, I was talking about the presumably biological male.
