That's too funny. Marketing is pretty simple, good looking famous young male actor ==== appeal to young girls. I don't think it's Uncle Bob they're trying to win over here
P.S. I'm Australian so read: girls = women if you're an American.
What a gomer. That commercial made me cringe when I saw it on tv also. It doesn't make any logical sense, but the guilt by association thing almost makes me not want to be seen with my camera now.
Actually, the worst uncle Bob I ever saw had a D3. There were 4 or 5 such guys at a Catholic wedding I attended over the summer. They basically stormed/surrounded the altar throughout the 90 minute mass.
