Earlier this week I did a post about a diaper brand imitating the David Beckham Armani underwear ad where he’s holding a rope. The ad was put together by Creative Diamond Olgivy which as far as I can tell is the Korean branch of Olgivy. Apparently they’ve received some heat from children’s groups for the ad.

They sent me the following email with “kindly request to take down the “rope”" as the subject. I have to admit.. When I read that I thought David Carradine had reached out to me from the grave. Read the full story

David Beckham’s Armani underwear ads receive attention for the package and not the product. Their campaign centers around Beckham’s crotch which is appealing to ladies.

David Beckham and Tom Cruise are well-known BFFs, so much so that the new book, “The Beckham Experiment”, dedicates a chapter to their bromance.

Another sign that the L.A. Galaxy and MLS were put too much stock in an aging David Beckham has been delivered by England coach Fabio Capello. The new man in charge for England made a Mike McCarthy/Ted Thompson like decision by moving Beckham to the bench in favor of young star on the rise Theo Walcott.

It’s usually hard for a superstar player to admit it’s time to move on. Nobody would be shocked if Beckham was pissed about the decision being made for him, but so far Becks is singing the praises of Walcott. Read the full story
