Space helmets as sexual aids? LOL...

[jay]

Last September Pascal went to Iceland to do a TV commercial shoot with Volvo... he was told it would be a limited distribution on European cable channels, not to worry.

Apparently he should have been more specific, as the commercials have been running on broadcast networks in Europe for weeks, at least according to UK colleagues here this week. "Yes, but I'm not yet accustomed to seeing Pascal's face several times a day, or in the middle of a football match", one said.

And... it gets better... in one of these Volvo ads, his sidekick asks him if a space helmet is useful -- as a sexual aid. Hamilton-Sundstrand, meet Good Vibes! (Pictures Pascal wearing a clear bubble, during... heh) Bwa-ha-ha... this will provide a considerable source of amusement during field tests with helmets, next summer. That, and apparently another comment he makes about other uses of Velcro... ;^).

I *must* get some PAL DVD copies from colleagues over there, before July... (grin).

What? However does one get roped into these things in the first place?

I don't know how they found him, but I certainly understand why they would want to use him in an ad: he's a space scientist and an arctic explorer and he's really hot. All that and a French accent, too.

Well, nice to know

that there is some sort of use for a scientist in modeling?

I would love to see Pascal in a bubble -- if that was all he was wearing.

Any chance of getting him to model? : )
