So I can't win no matter how I answer the quiz! Everyone fails!
I will say this: anyone who thinks sex appeal can sell anything is a complete hack.
Even if sex appeal would work here, the actress can't even sell it.
Plus, it seems odd to me to use innuendo and not go all the way with it. Look at the background of the ad: the windows are open, the sun appears to be shining, you can see trees and such. The innuendo might have played better had it seemed more like they were on a date.
Not to say that the ad would work in any fashion of course.
