SportsNet New York is Like Steroids For Men

What is it with sports, sex and testosterone? Oh wait. Silly question. A new campaign for SportsNew New York from Ogilvy & Mather, More Sports, More Testosterone, launches this week with “Muscles,” which shows how watching SNY builds muscles as a skinny guy transforms into a muscle-bound dude, and “Libido,” an ad that shows the impact watching sports has on a just married couple – 95 year-old Leopold and his much younger trophy wife. As the older man watches SNY, he quickly tires out his new bride and the ad closes with a shot of her gasping on his oxygen tank.

They we get a kick out of testosterone-fueled jungle boy bench pressing a couple of hot female cops over his head, we much prefer the ogle-the-big-boobed-hottie approach to elevating interest in New York sports teams made possible by Tehmeena Afzal’s love for the Mets, Giants and Knicks.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
