World Cup Widows?

Switzerland Tourist has an interesting idea. They want to woo the bored women while their partenrs/husbands are glued to the television sets. I saw the story at BBC website:

The Swiss Tourist Board hopes scenes of bare-chested hunks tossing hay in mountain valleys will entice women dreading a summer of World Cup boredom.

While husbands are glued to television sets, Switzerland has a whole lot more to offer, suggests the TV advert.

A swarthy mountaineer gives a steamy look, while Mr Switzerland 2005 gently milks a cow's udders and a voice asks:

"Ladies, why don't you spend this summer in Switzerland, where men focus less on football and more on you?"


You can see the ad from the tourism board site!

wouldn't that apply to india too? maybe not, because the men would be watching another sport- cricket. and the number of football-watchers (not players mind)too is growing up.

Kuffir, in my house my nephews and I watch more football than H! He watches but he hates getting up in the morning bleary eyed, where as all of us do not mind, we just manage through our daily routines somehow. But I liked the idea of the ad a lot :)

On the other hand cricket is not the religion in my house! H hates it, my dad (who stays with us) loves it! And rest of us tolerate it.

Flygirl, while I was writing a reply to Kuffir, you came :)

Yes, I found the Ad lovely, have to show it to H in the evening, he sure is not going to like it :) Nice to hear about the smiles.
