Right. Playgirl is a magazine with naked dudes in it. Now I remember. There's a mistake I'm unlikely to make again.
Wow, that was really gay (not that there is anything wrong with that)--and I don't mean just because of the mostly naked guy.
Perhaps a unicorn chaser is in order? Oh, bad idea, wrong symbolism. Kittens maybe?
Quick! look at some ducklings and puppies
The title reeks with homophobic disdain - f***ing grow up!
#4 So now the use of the word mince is politically incorrect?
Homophobic disdain? On the contrary, I've never seen such mincing in my life. He should be proud!
(Also, it's okay to use the word "fucking" here. We're all adults.)
Permit me to amend my comment above that might appear to disparage naked dancing dudes. I laughed out loud at the clip. The guy is pretty funny and looks like he's having a blast. I was just making fun of myself for misreading it as PlayBOY. FTR, I'm pro-mincing.
Mincing onions make me cry.
It's testament to how completely homo-friendly BBG is that the original 'Wii Girlfriend' video never even got posted, where as a beefcake in a thong swirling his butt around made a post within hours of going live.
More like Gaygirl.
Yes, say "fucking," please. Let's not mince words here.
I'm fucking glad I stayed through to the end. Tee hee!
Damn this was a good clip ROTFLOL, if I had a body like his (as opposed to the laughing buddah body I got now) Id be showing it off like that too! I prefer those of the XX genetic persuasion, but still this was fun to watch.
I always say, call a mince a mince! And that, my friend, is a mince.
/shudders
Nothing about that is attractive. Bitches be crazy.
I'll stick with my cuddly geek husband, thanks.
total mince, total fun. how the fucking did he pull those nutchucks out so deftly?
goddamn i wish i had that body.
Playgirl? Psh... Maybe he's a Playguy model?
Either way, I'm envious of the way he shakes his tushy!
Whoah those nunchucks came outta fucking NOWHERE
I have to agree with #18 about the nunchucks--boy was I impressed! O_o
I'm not entirely sure what it is, maybe the underwear, maybe the low-res, but I don't think I've ever found a video of a hot, near-naked dude that unsexy and slightly disturbing before.
Oh, and I say that not only as a gay dude, but also as one who has watched the same guy in some rather more explicit gay porn under a different name (Reese Rideout).
Banksynergy, Genericvox, I'll tell you a secret. It's some years old, but for all I know it's still true. Way back when, I used to have the office next to the editor of Playgirl. Other staffers were down the hall, so I overheard things. Sometimes I got told about things.
The editor was a woman. So were almost all the editorial staffers. The owners were not, and they had that stupid macho "Nobody knows more about sex than I do" attitude you see sometimes in straight guys whose worldview has remained untainted by the sexual revolution.
This attitude sometimes led them to overrule the editorial staff's choice of centerfolds. The time I got to see it happen, the editor had arranged for a photoshoot of a yummy grunge-rock idol, I forget which one. I saw the photos. The guy was a tad grubby and a little on the skinny side, but ... yeah, not too bad.
The owners were distressed. They vetoed the centerfold. What they picked to replace it was a photo of, like, the world's most buff Italian guy from New Jersey. They assured Editorial that this was much more the kind of thing women like to look at.
They had no sense of irony whatsoever, in case you're wondering.
After the owners left, the editor, the publicist, and I looked at the photo and agreed that while he was undoubtedly a fine specimen of something-or-other, he did nothing for us. It was like looking at the prize stock at the State Fair.
I opined that we were perhaps not the right gender for the photo. The others dropped their voices and explained that that was okay -- Playgirl got bought more often by men than women. (I don't know whether that's still true.) I was amused, and still am, by the thought that those incredibly straight men were unwittingly playing to their gay readership by insisting on centerfolds that appealed to their own (male) taste.
