Hi Wim,
a bit more colour (it's obviously a theme in the papers at the moment!):
"We assume that its appeal is merely erotic (and the companies that hire Beckham expect him to pass
on that allure to the wares he endorses); wiser cultures than ours realise that the adoration is
religious. Idols and icons are specimens of sanctity: there is a gold-plated Beckham moulded by
monks at a Buddhist shrine in Thailand."
