Sometimes when you see an advertisement…

A naked Burt Reynolds makes DirecTV pitch

Burt Reynolds

Readers of the new Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue will be saddened to encounter one model who is significantly hairier than the others: Burt Reynolds, as seen in this new ad for high-definition DirecTV. The copy on the ad reads, “Everything should be seen in DirecTV HD. Well, maybe not everything.” The photo comes from the April 1972 centerfold in Cosmopolitan magazine.
