Advertising in Italy took an interesting turn this week, with posters for the Aussiebum guy’s underwear range (gay or not gay?) appearing around the city of Milan.

The Italians generally don’t have any problems with nudity, while the Aussies are a more prudish race (see our post on getting naked in Milan to prove the point).
Whatever the reaction, it certainly hits two markets: gay men and women dreaming about holidays Downunder.
