3. They don't use naked men, either, do they? I can't remember ever seeing a naked male.

Ooops--I'm wrong....I just did a google image search and there are a few fellows in there. They look like a new addition to the standard. They are, though, of a certain demographic--young and appealing, same as the women.

I also can't remember seeing old naked people, or fat/skinny/saggy naked people; they're always going for the "sex sells" paradigm.

Honestly; at this point in time, it's all SSDD. The "Oooooooh, NAKED in the STREET" stunt has just lost shock value. Forty years ago, it was Ooooh Laa Laa! Now it's Ho-Hum...!
