Does This Cross-Dressing Cop Ad Finally Make The ->-bleeped-<- Shtick Work?

Over the past few months, there's been a lot of debate over untraditional portrayals of transgender types, from a drag queen in a tampon advert to two idiotic straight-dude cross-dressers on ABC's universally detested Work It.
Unlike those questionable portrayals, though, we think the above print ad—created for Chilean over-the-counter eyedrops Red Off—is pretty fab.
It depicts a man, a cop by day, looking a little worse for wear in drag at an apparently wild party. It looks like a fun scene—and the idea, we imagine, is the Red Off will mask the effects of his hangover tomorrow. (Some aspirin and makeup remover might help in that department, too.)

It's an ad. Not too bad all things considered.

Have to agree with justmeinoz. I can't quite see the problem.
A bunch of guys having a wild night.
