In response to the comment at the bottom, and I know that this will offend a lot of people. Golf is so dull. The guy wants a pretty girl to help advertise it? Good luck. A flock of playboy bunnies can't help to make golf sexy. Come on, it's dull.
My sincerest apologies for any offence caused to golf players/enthusiasts, I'm just not a fan.

That's the kicker, too. The only TRULY sexist part of the whole thread
until this point was the fact that they were ONLY looking for an
attractive WOMAN. As a chubby tall man, who loves golf, and can do his
bit in front of a camera (kinda/sorta) that pissed me off. The "I like
boobs" bit was tasteless, maybe, but not sexist. My peers, and myself,
lack tact. That doesn't make us evil.
But instead of trying to start a movement or have a march, I'll simply
refuse to watch his product, and suggest the same to anyone that asks me
about it. I think that's fair. I don't need a platform to bitch and
whine about how my gender/race/weight/etc is being HELD DOWN BY THE MAN.
I'm just not a good zealot.
