Look: Not-so-subtle ad for ‘Boyzilian’ waxing

The poster above is about the lost art of chivalry — obviously!

Made for Strip Manila, a unisex waxing boutique, it is being used to promote its grooming services to Instagram users in the Philippines.

It shows two succulent tropical fruits (one wrapped in its spiky shell, the other unpeeled) and asks the reader, “Which will she eat? Be a gentleman. Peel it for her,” it says. 

Erm, you mean the rambutan, right? 

The last time we checked, the only “gentlemen” brave enough to endure the discomfort of hot wax and painful peeling were those batting for the same team. 

So guys, wrong demographic?
