#2: Do You Want to Look Better Naked?

And now for the moment of truth...which will be the #2-rated Hellman Christmas Card of All-Time (and thereby revealing, for anybody who's keeping track, the #1-rated card)! The "Do you want to look bettter naked?" Fat Foe advertisement from 2001 brings home the penultimate prize.

In my opinion, nothing beats this card in terms of overall level of sleaze. It is the anti-Christmas card, in even worse taste and tackier than the idea of me sending out a Christmas card proclaiming myself as the sexiest man alive. It advertises a product, Fat Foe, designed to transform the beer-drinking, ice cream-stuffing couch potato on the left into the smoldering hunk of rock-hard abs pictured on the right. Even better is the fact that I took these photos at the house of the Washington University School of Medicine Department Head of Pediatrics's kitchen while house-sitting one Christmas vacation.

Tomorrow...the true #1 revealed!
