Soccer stud David Beckham likes it big and on top.
His Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer sits atop the Western Conference, a position Beckham likes, according to his blog. And he towers above adoring fans in a billboard plastered across Macy’s in San Francisco’s Union Square that will soon be coming to cities including New York, Los Angeles and London.
Yes, Becks is stripped down and shilling again for Giorgio Armani. The new ad campaign (photo) was rolled out in San Francisco on Wednesday as Becks sat under a large poster of him shirtless and in his briefs. It’s the second time Becks has pitched for Armani underwear.
While it delighted the hundreds present, there were some rumors that the advertising campaign may have benefited from a touch of airbrushing.
The pictures, which showed Beckham looking less-than bashful while concentrating hard on something in the distance, were met with disapproval from his mother and derision from football pundits, but appear to have been a successful sales ploy.

Nothing (photos & such) I look at anymore hits me as “real.”
Yet this gives one a lift if only briefly (no pun intended).

Agreed, this was MAJOR photoshopping. Becks does not have this body right now.

well…actually everybody, including the Daily Mail who posted a pic of him on a yatch back in 2006, should have look at his latest paparazi’s pic in 2007 while he was on vacation at his home in France – being in pool with Victoria – where he spotted a white briefs/speedos as well. and you’ll see that the Armani pics were NO photoshopped at all..as the France pic would prove it! the pic even grace as the COVER of a SPANISH MEG and was really a hit at the time!

Beck’s white speedo shot on the yacht is totally hot. His manhood is nicely outlined in that near see-through bikini. The guy is one smart athlete who keeps himself in great shape and is comfortable both in and out of his clothes. I mean this guy would model a Trojan condom for a million dollars!
