There’s been a lot of talk about David Beckham’s package and all those ginormous billboards on which it is displayed. Well now, as we mentioned back in May, Beckham has put all his clothes back on and is sparring with people over Sharpie pens he covets in a new commercial breaking July 7.

In the commercial, created by BrandBuzz New York, Beckham is asked to autograph several items and, after signing his name, covets the Sharpie he used to do so. Along with a cute street fight with a little girl, Becjham also steals a Sharpie from a woman at a gas station but he can’t fool her. So, he gives the woman his shirt, autographs it and makes off with the Sharpie of his dreams.

While it’s understandable the people asking for autographs would have some increased affinity for Beckham but for Beckham to have that sort of affinity for a…pen, well, oh wait…this is a commercial, not real life. Oops, sorry. Unrealistic things happen in commercial all the time. Totally normal. All good.
