Bud Lite X-Ray Vision Ad

In this ad for Bud Lite, we see a reversal of the usual gender pattern--in this case, a woman has x-ray vision and uses it to imagine what men look like under their clothes. When a chubby man appears and she sees his body under his clothes, she's disgusted and looks away.



An interesting example of men's bodies under scrutiny.

Interesting too that the man gets a 'comedic' treatment at the end of the ad - something often seen with overweight men but rarely seen with overweight women in advertising.

Interesting too because it uses the word drinkability - that's a new one on me.
