You post on a style forum you want us to get past that?

Crappy clip but the best I could find with a half-assed search.

Most interesting

can I ask you to pin-point what made you say '32"? and also say "60"? would you trust this guy? trust, as in, listen to his advice to manage your investments?

He looks a lot like peter mansbridge. I'll guess 52. Upper middle class. Wife shops for him. 3 kids. Went to a state college. Likes baseball. Prefers white wine over red. Reads the economist. Likes to fish. Will retire in Palm Springs. Builds model airplanes as a hobby. Prefers jepordy over wheel of fortune.

Didn't I see this guy over in the "Creepy Sartorial Images" thread?

I would say mid 40's only because he looks like one of my Friends dad.

This is cute but very superficial. ; Real Talk: He Listens to the Boston Pops 5cd set on his Bose stereo often. Often tells (somewhat exaggerated) tales of college debauchery to the chagrin of his wife. Who is a stay at home mom that does part time legal aid from home. And is a maintenance drinker. The word "petty" applies strongly, and oddly it's not entirely pejorative. He's the sort of nouveau (barely) riche scum whose execution I would have argued for in my anarchist days. Now that I live in the real world I view him as fine enough material for a middle management boss or girlfriend's father. Easily charmed if you can put up with the godawful tasteless humor. There were allegations of sexual assault (frat party gray area **** as you might have guessed) in college that thankfully fizzled out. No one knows for sure there.

I guess I'll put it you then: would you trust this guy? trust, as in, listen to his advice to manage your investments?

therein lies the rub, if some can't get pass the vest, and assuming that he is not advertising clothing (god I hope not with those shoes and vest) then the ad/campaign is not as effective as it should be. You are forcing people to focus on something that has nothing to do with the ad. It's like showing people a pic of a naked Margaret Thatcher and asking them what they think of her eye makeup.

Would you consider him handsome/good looking? NO
PS I am just referring to the guy--not the background, not the particular clothes, not the particular stage or setting, just the guy.
Any advice would help

Would you trust the judgment of anyone who'd wear that vest?
