I know, I know... it looks like a still from a bad seventies porno. But it's not. No, this is a major advertising campaign. For clothing, if you can believe it. And no, it's not selling the sunglasses. Make the jump and see what the hot new fashion trend of 1972 was!

You've gotta love how they throw in some sex appeal with the comedy. I mean, three of these guys are pretty hot, one appeals to a very specific demographic, and the other seems to be wearing a wig and fake mustache to disguise himself so who knows what he really looks like?
And I wonder what's up with the sunglasses... If they're supposed to love these socks so much, why are they trying to hide their identities? Granted, if I was wearing knee-high pink patterned dress socks, I'd probably want to go a little incognito, too!






Ouch! Though the guy in the pink socks is kinda cute...
IMO, they should be wearing the socks on other "feet". And I do like the orange socks... not just the guy wearing them.
