Are bonds sexy?

The Japanese government wants its citizens to think so:
Women Prefer Men Holding State Bonds, Japan Ad Says

June 9 (Bloomberg) -- Japanese women are seeking men who invest in government bonds, according to an advertisement being run by the Ministry of Finance.
�I want my future husband to be diligent about money,� a 27-year-old woman says in an ad being run in free magazines promoting a fixed-rate, three-year note that Japan started selling last week. �Playboys are no good.� She�s one of five women featured in the page, which says �Men who hold JGBs are popular with women!!�
The ministry commissioned the ads to appeal to citizens for money at a time when record government borrowing threatens to outstrip demand.
