"Why not escape this summer's World Cup to a country where men spend less time on football, and more time on you?," asks the Swiss TV advertisement, over images of a strapping farmhand, a sexy train conductor, a fit mountain climber, a dapper ferryman and a brawny lumberjack." [Emphasis added -- not too subtle is it?]
The TV spot ends with Renzo Blumenthal, Mr. Switzerland 2005, milking and then leaning up against a cow.

Nothing like using adultry to promote tourism. The Swiss are so darn creative that way.

pimping would have to be the very oldest profession when you think about it
Oh baby, I'm so there.... I mean, I really should go to Switzerland and learn more about my heritage.

none of them are actors, and Mr. Switzrland does live on his parent's farm, so happy hunting!
The lumberjack reference reminds me of the Monty Python skit; "I'm a lumberjack and it's ok"...

wish I had thought of that, I'd used it as the title of the post -- my guess is that is 50% or more of the reason for the ad, the Swiss are very tolerant and have a "Gay and Lesbian category listed under "Experiences" on their official tourist website
