'Queer Eye' Guys: Strange Effect On Men
Those five stars of "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy" are having a very unusual effect on men: They're turning them into shoppers. And not just any old kind of shopper. Men are shopping together. In pairs.
But before retailers start letting out whoops and cheers, pay attention to this one little catch: Men who shop because of the show, tend to do it on Wednesdays--the day after the new episode airs on Bravo on Tuesdays, reports Zap2It.com of a new survey conducted by Jericho Communications, a New York-based public relations firm.
The poll of 2,654 shoppers at malls in Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and suburban Philadelphia asked among other things which of 32 celebrity endorsers' products they would be most and least likely to buy, including not only the "Queer Eye" guys, but also Michael Jordan, Bill Clinton. In addition, respondents could write in their own favorites.
The bizarre findings:
Men are five times more likely than women to go shopping on Wednesdays, the day after a new episode of "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy" airs.
Half the men surveyed said they shop with another guy on Wednesday. Just 12 percent of men admitted shopping with a buddy on the other six days of the week.
More than any of the other Fab Five guys, "Queer Eye" fashion guru Carson Kressley had the most positive influence on men's purchasing decisions.
After Kressley, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the most popular celebrity endorser. Next in line was Kobe Bryant, Ashton Kutcher, Ben Affleck, and Paris Hilton.
"Bachelorette" bride Trista Rehn was the least likely to have a positive effect on a product, followed by Donald Trump, "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, and Rosie O'Donnell.
Now the straight guys ACTUALLY goes shopping!!!!!! what an interesting surprise reading this article ref to the show on the stats
