does this underwear ad objectify men?

an ad for Body underwear by Calvin Klein. copyright 2001.

The male model in this ad wears the same inviting, empty expression that is usually seen on female models. Is he being objectified? Do you care?

    What the hell? I've seen lots of ads with men who pose like this! Anyway, I'm focusing on the pose in the pants... XD

    Actually, I DON'T care
    Nobody makes a big deal about the empty-headed look on female models, but if a MAN is portrayed as less than intelligent, it's OBJECTIFYING. Well, excuse me while I go get catcalled trying to walk down the street. Go *** yourselves, fashion industry.

    What about it?
    He's not really being objectified, but I guess it depends on how you're looking at him and no I do not care. Wow, I love you, stolenelectron.

    Mmmm... You're a doll. A rock. A delicious piece of meat... I'm sorry, what? Objectify? It's his job to be objectified. I'm just confused about who it's trying to appeal to. It's supposedly directed towards men, but... he's so... Mmm... objectified.
