The Shiny and Nearly Nude H&M Beckham Monuments are Eye-Catching
Vivian Lau — August 19, 2012 — Pop Culture
The H&M Beckham campaign encourages you to pose up against a shiny, 10-foot statue of David Beckham.
In this publicity stunt, impressive statues will plant roots in New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles and wait for people to flock for a photo-op. Prizes (a $1000 H&M shopping spree, signed underwear or an Oscar-sized miniature version of the statue) could be won if a snapped photo is uploaded on Instagram with the correct hastag #hmbeckham.
The insane popularity around David Beckham makes him the go-to guy for any promotional campaign (it really doesn't matter what he sells). This time round, fan girls will marvel at surely stances that proudly show off his manly figure -- it's not quite Michaelangelo's God-idolizing work, but it comes pretty close.
