We continue our mini-series on ads in the form of posters featuring nude males.  Today, posters from 2000 through 2013.  Above, a 2006 poster for shower gel.

We end with a poster for a 2012-2013 art exhibit called Nackte Männer (Naked Men) at the Leopold Museum in Vienna, Austria.  The poster features 2006 photo-art by Pierre et Gilles called Vive la France, showing French football (soccer) players Serge, Moussa and Roberto.  This poster was posted in public places around Vienna and generated public complaints about the full-frontal male nudity.

So the museum covered the offending part of the posters (above).  But if some people disapproved, others were intrigued.  The Nackte Männer exhibit drew more than 2000 visitors per day.

Next time: Posters from 2014 to the present.
