Tranlastion: He's ###### so many hot broads in his time that we don't care that he hasn't won anything in 8 years, we know guys want to live his life anyway.
Edit - Changed some stuff
Bingo!
What's the over/under on Jeter's conquests? He seems to be a "quality over quantity" guy, but that may just be because his quality scores are so high up there that they monopolize attention.
I'll set the line at 500. Am I way off here?
I think he's a virgin.
Once you've had a man with purple lips, you'll never go back.
If he'd really done 500, I suspect you'd have seen more negative crap come out about him.
I'll say more like 50-75 since he started playing in MLB -- when you're grabbing that kind of quality, can't see why you'd need to go all Lo Duca on every skanky 15-year-old you meet.
Well, keep in mind that Jeter has been a superstar athlete since he was a teenager. He's probably been scoring like crazy for a looooong time. Don't forget those years he was toiling away in the minors either...
I'd take way under. You don't want to piss off the super-model, movie-stars types by going after groupies.
It also reminds me of a great baseball quote. "Hey Jones, you're with a different girl everynight. You must be a lousy lay."
or is that spurting performances?
Ouch, I don't even want to think about it.
I've always thought these commercials were odd. It's almost like Gilette is advertising specifically for the rich, young, and white crowd. I know that that group is core demographic, but 2 out of the 3 athletes they chose are virtual unknowns to probably 90% of the country.

It was really weird for me at the end when one of them reached out and started rubbing and admiring the smoothness of the other's cheek. I mean, I get that it is smooth but do you really need to start feeling it yourself Thierry (or Roger, whoever it was)
Chris Truby just can't win.
shocking!

I imagine most people (men, anyway) would recognize Federer. You see enough of him on Sportscenter, ads, etc. that you could put a name to the face. Henry, on the other, probably looks like just a guy with a funny accent.
The Seattle Sounders are reportedly trying very hard to sign Henry for the new MLS franchise next season. If Henry does come to play in the US, I'm sure we'd see much more of him in commercials.
I doubt it. Most people don't really watch Sportscenter, and the ones that don't follow tennis probably just tune it out.
If Henry does come to play in the US, I'm sure we'd see much more of him in commercials.
Again, highly doubtful. Whether he plays here or not doesn't really change the fact that he plays soccer.
Which makes sense, since nobody else can afford a razor or is clever enough to figure out how to use one.
That said the first time I saw the advert I laughed out loud. It's spectacularly effeminate.
Do these ads run only in the US? I assume Gillette sells its products internationally, with emerging markets being a big source of growth. Henry and Federer are more known outside the US -- where >95% of the world lives.
I've always felt that the ads are insulting to Tiger Woods. Woods seems very protective of his brand image, so I'm surprised that he would deign to appear with two lesser athletes.
You'd think Lewis Hamilton would be a natural for that ad. Except I'm not sure he looks* old enough to shave.
* I know he is, of course.
Oh, the STDs that must lie in that pool.
Pizza's sponsored my personal life for years. I have to say, not as great as it sounds.
The word you're looking for is "metrosexual."
As in, "Jeter's been sexual with most of the hot tail in the NY Metro area. How about him?"
Federer isn't exactly "lesser", to Woods or to anyone.
Jeter has prolly had way more than 50-75 hotties.
And F1 racing is the most underrated sport in North America.
Why? Why do corporations do this to us? Do they think there is a single person besides Cowboy Popup who will take this seriously?
(Hey CP! Just funning!)
These are truly some of the lamest commercials out there. Those little weird gestures at the end are just weird.
And while I understand that these ads have been airing globally, I still never understood them for the American market. Which I guess is what their research is telling them, if they're replacing the soccer player with jeter. I wonder if Jeter will be in any ads outside the US?
