Say hello to Mr. Switzerland. He and other himbos are being used in an new ad campaign that asks football widows to consider escaping "this summer's World Cup to a country where men spend less time on football, and more time on you." Anonymous bank accounts, chocolate, diplomats out the wazoo--what's not for the ladies to like over there?

The ad also includes a sexy farmhand, train conductor, mountain climber, ferryman, and a lumberjack -- it's like the Village People moved Switzerland to get health insurance. The ads will start running next month in France, Germany and Switzerland.
