It'll never work.

What will never work - the fictitious product, or using the web to determine if people have seen bus advertising?

Well, since the topic pretty undefined... I guess I'll answer based on my own interpretation:
Sure "Lipstick for Men" will work.... (not for me or most guys I know, but...)
Rock Stars have been wearing lipstick for years... and let's not rule out the Goths and all the uh... interesting characters (punks, etc) in London and Greenwich Village (N.Y.C).
My prediction: Black will outsell any other color at least 6 to 1.

Obviously the site worked; its provocative pitch caught your attention thoroughly enough that you posted it on Metafilter.

As for being a survey, I guess it's a good idea, but as for the product;
What's the point?!
All of their target consumer-base already wears women's lipstick...
You'd have to be pretty neurotic to switch...
"My god... what if my friends find out I'm wearing women's lipstick?! they'd all laugh at me...."

Nahh- if men's lipstick ever caught on, it'd be a bragging thing. Guys would show off the bitchin' lipstick holsters they've custom-built into their stereo cabinets.

but, but, since it's men lipstick, will they keep the same taste? I mean... wait. let me rephrase that, will it taste the same?

When I make out with a girl wearing lots of makeup, I end up with her face all over my face. I wish makeup would just go out of style alltogether, but it's survived for millenia. Peepels dun jus don lahk whut God gav'em.

umm, for those that didn't notice it is not a real product
as is said on the page Shades for Men is a fictitious product; the intent of this campaign is to gauge interest in such a product and to test bus advertising as a vehicle for launching new products.
just saying.
