My ad idea

No picture I'm afraid. I actually have 2 ideas, mainly as a cover in case the first doesn't work, but both are related.

Calvin Klein ads, the ones with the muscular, well built men with 0% body fat that symbolize the 'perfect man' image are sickening, I've always made fun of them every chance I got. I know its kinda cliche, but I wanna twist them around with an idea I've always had flowing in the back of my mind: make people be forced to see what 'real' men look like. How do I do that? Here:
1. First, the funnier of the two, and the most sickening. Get a picture of your average overweight, hairy, probably not all that attractive man, posing like a Calvin Klein model, and then add it to text like "Fat...Hairy...Ugly...Reality." There are several messages that can be crammed into something like this, as well as a lot of humor.
2. Second, a simpler version that is still funny, at least to me. Take an actual Calvin Klein ad of some model (a few of which I have found and thought of) and add the simple text of "Men...Not found here" or "Reality....Not from CK."

Anyway, there we go. I should hammer it out by the time I sit down and start working on it.
