Persuaded by American Commercials

I don't watch too many commercials - watching videos on the computer or recorded episodes on DVR tends to alter your life in that way. However, I believe I have been swayed by a commercial for a beauty product. I know - sounds a bit feminine. Never fear - the cool awesomeness of it shall soon be revealed.
The commercial is for a Nivea face gel. We are treated to a young male professional sporting an afternoon stubble as he throws on his coat to leave for the day. This is a concept I enjoy - and any QLF people would know what I'm talking about. The concept of loosening the tie after a long's day of work followed by leaving the fucking office for anything else. Already I'm knee-deep into this commercial, and I haven't even seen the product.
As he enters the elevator to leave the corporate jungle, he splashes Nivea for Men Energizing Hydro Gel on his face. This is no spray-splash. This is a manly "this has been one long fucking day and I'm so glad I'm leaving" face rub. He proceeds to go bowling, karaoke, and of course - the late-night meal.
Here are the reasons I love the late-night meal:
- It's always at a diner, and diner food feels great after a long night out
- Everyone's fucking tired, but are running in adrenaline or their alcohol buzz
- There's always something to talk about since we just came from a party or a club
- There's no rush since it's already like 3am
The guy in the commercial though - he's a mad stud. He obviously realizes he's been out so late that it's time to go back into work. Another note: he went out that late knowing he'd have to go to work the next day - also very manly. He throws his jacket back on - goes to the office and splashes some more Nivea for Men Energizing Hydro Gel.
If only I got paid for this post...

Doesn't matter if he's trying to be a "manly" person by staying late at night; he's using a face gel. Very Very Gay. West-Hollywood Gay. Who knows? Maybe he was staying all night in a gay bar. I have nothing against gay though. Just stating the fact.
