If the Gatorade guy started dry-humping his bottle of G2, maybe... But even ads that play off men's bodies - and there aren't a ton of them (isn't Gatorade's current campaign just people playing pro sports?) - don't tend to equate the idea of consuming their product with fucking the person in the commercial. There's not a male equivalent of this type of thing in American advertising - no need to posit a hypothetical one for the sake of balance. --d I wouldn’t say that it “isn’t any different” from a beefcake dude in a Gatorade ad.
