Chinese Olympic Volleyball Cheerleaders Transfix Journalist

It’s probably a bit cruel to point this out but it’s the sort of thing we’re supposed to do here at Adrants. Today, in Advertising Age, Ray Ally, apparently for lack of any other sort of information remotely related to advertising, wrote a piece about the Chinese volleyball cheerleaders which veered off to the apparent culture shock of seeing Beijing women in bikinis, the cheerleader selection process and a mini-dissertation on the merits of dark and light-skinned Chinese women.

But that’s not the cruel part. Have a look at the bikini-clad hotties accompanying the article. Then have a look at Ally’s picture. Absolutely no disrespect is intended but the man looks like he’s in some sort of transfixed state due, perhaps, to having ogled the bountiful gyrations of all those bikini-clad hotties for so long.

You can’t really blame the man though. Bikinis will do that to a guy.
