Towleroad Guide to the Tube #3
Someone's very proud of his body (source); A compilation of famous bitches. (source); Lara Logan disputes accusations that media is only reporting bad news from Iraq; Jake Gyllenhaal, Jared Leto, and 1,056 dicks.
Enjoy.

There is no doubting that on an objective level, that boy has a phenomenal body. It's gorgeous, and I certainly would dig touching it, etc.
HOWEVER the thing that makes men, masculine men, seemingly straight men attractive is their insouciance, their seeming unawareness of their own hotness. Their bodies were the result not of primping and preening but rather were the by-product of athletics and labor. The bodies did not exist as ends in themselves but as means to the ends of play or useful production.
The self-absorption involved in making such a video for the express purpose of having Andy Towle inter alia link to that video completely destroys that. Hot? Not.

WOW! That guy is HOT, and obviously thinks so himself! WOOF! Yes it's shallow, but that's how I'm feeling this morning ;)

no, man, i don't care how into himself he is; that is one hot body. the problem i have is what he did to his hair. what is that? why did he have to take his hat off?

i think it's just fine if he wants to show off his body. just. fine.

WOW! Lara Logan - nice.
The fact that some reporters, like Ms. Logan, don't hold to the "telling the other side is anti-American" BS that is constantly paraded out by your inept president, is providing me with a glimmer of hope.
Good for her.

If that kid had one hair on his body, then "woof!" would have been more appropriate.

Andy,
You didn't show them the rest of the video... That guy is a CLASSIC vanity case who does a lot more on camera than flexing his muscles. You and I must frequent the same websites...

Jeff, the more appropriate response to that guy's vid would have been "BUH-CAWK!"

Amen, Tread.

what's really fun is to play the "dicks" video for a short bit, then click on the "bitches" one so they run simultaneously

Well, the "dirty" link seems to have disappeared! But anyway, the Lara Logan interview was very interesting.

He likes tearing up perfectly good wife beaters for some reason. This video makes him look a bit gay as straight guys don't really preen in this same particular way. Nowadays you can't tell gay from straight just by the manscaping since straight guys do that now too. Is nothing sacred.

Not that I'm spending too much time on Youtube now.

LOVED Jake Gyllenhaal and Jared Leto in that movie Highway. Jared was especially hot in it.
I know it was in another post, but the term "Gyllenhaalic" made me laugh.
