I had a good look at that poster last night (right next to the "trash
can" on the JR Sannomiya train station platform in Kobe that Monsieur
Shannon informed us no longer exists) and I think he is the same model
they have been using for years. I doubt that he can surf (since he is
probably sepponian) and I doubt that he ever had a beard long enough to
accumulate icicles (salt, ice, photoshop or otherwise), as only sexy men
are hairy.
