Have you seen this nude man?

The Swiss newspaper SonntagsZeitung printed a new Gucci ad last week featuring an unknown male model - so unknown that not even Gucci had heard of him. Turns out the ad was a fake, and this guy just wanted to sneak a naked picture of himself into the newspaper. This isn't even the first time the mysterious guy has tried to con his way into the limelight. Perhaps he had read the recent headlines and was simply trying to bring sexy back to Switzerland?

What I'm wondering is, how is it so hard to catch a guy in a tiny country when you know exactly what he looks like? If you're in Switzerland, keep your eyes peeled... and if you spot him, make a citizen's arrest. Or just ask for his autograph.

I'd heard about this, but couldn't find the ad anywhere. Thanks for posting!

Maybe Gucci should contact this guy for a real ad.

I'm detecting a theme developing here of eccentric topless Teutons. You might want to seek help. That said, where are this man's suspenders?

Funny! I wonder if it would work for me? LOL! Anyway-- I don't think he looks like the typical Gucci ad type of guy...

Hmmm... I have been posting more pictures of topless men than usual these days. Let's hope it's just a fleeting trend.
