AdFreak drew our attention to this ad for Philippine rock radio station NU107, which betrays pretty negligible knowledge of rock music. And logic.

The text reads, “The 80’s: When Looking like a ladyboy got you all the ladies.” Imagery: what looks like a Kiss band member … with boobs. (An homage to Marilyn Manson?)

More creative — and a small dissertation on Kiss, Poison, rock-dandy dress codes and lack of actual boobage among male ’80s rock band members — at AdFreak.

It’s really too bad everybody can’t be Chuck Klosterman.
