Soccer Stud David Beckham Gets Naked for the MotoRAZR2

by Tim Stevens on September 14, 2007 at 12:29 PM

David Beckham Gets Naked for Moto's RAZR2Motorola's original MotoRAZR was a huge success, making waifish cellys all the rage. The cell phone manufacturer has been hoping for similar returns on that iconic handset's replacement, the MotoRAZR2, launched here in the U.S. last month.

To build buzz and sales, Motorola has been pulling out all the stops for advertising on the RAZR2, especially in South Korea, where the phone launched first. There, Motorola enlisted U.K.-export and current L.A. Galaxy soccer player David Beckham to pose "naked" with the phone, which seems to be only slightly thinner than he is. The ad is part of a "Become Beckham" campaign that somehow is supposed to make you think you'll be the soccer star by purchasing a series of stylish products.

As much as we like the RAZR2, we suggest you spend your money on gym membership if you want to look more like Beckham.

And while we're at it, Becks isn't the first celebrity to hawk gadgets, though he might be the first male star to strip for technology.
