I'll take #1 one end and #3 the other end thank you.
Kip wrote to request today's Slap. You remember Kip - he's one of my favorite bloggers. And he's also the guy who suggested a while back that I Slap Randy Johnson. He's been trying to recover from that for a while...
I think the recommendation for today's Slap - Mr. "I'm a Mac", Justin Long - is an excellent one. When I watched the Mac ads for the first time, I couldn't place him, but as I researched this post I realized that I recognized him from his first movie role - Galaxy Quest, where he played the quintessential geeky teen. He was also in Dodgeball, but I never saw that one.
Ive always thought Justin was cute. Way too young, but cute. He was also in teh TV show ED.

I've thought he was freaking adorable since Galaxy Quest (a geeky pleasure of mine). I had no idea there were so many shots of his nekid flesh out there, I had no idea he had such a smokin body (sweet 6 pack, god i want to have sex with him)! I love it when he has that perplexed look on his face (he does it in the mac commercials and he did it in galaxy quest). It just so... cute and sexy!

Today's the day!
QueerBeacon has the scoop on Superman if you're thinking of seeing it today. I'm going to try for today or tomorrow - I hope I can convince my husband.
It will be interesting to see what you think. Saw it last night. Not 100% sold. Characters are flat esp. Lois. Spacey is no Hackman and Brandon didn't nail that role like Reeve. I'd say 2 of 4 stars, honestly. Disappointed a little.
DD
|
2011-05-09 21:51
I don't know what movie you saw but for me when Brandon was playing Clark/Superman, it felt like he was channeling Chris. This Lois was different from Kidder's Lois and Spacey's Lex was different from Hackman's Lex. The storyline was good and the special effects were great. Bryan did a great job making this movie.
Mike

2011-05-09 21:51
See the 1st film again. Reeve is like 2 different people, dramatically. Brandon did just ok. Teri Hatcher (L&C) and Erica Durance (Smallville) are more interesting and play it grittier - like Lois Lane. I didn't hate it, and will see it again, but think about Superman 1, and Spiderman 1 and 2. Much better character development. You cared about those people. Shit, XMen 3 was better than this film. DD
Surfing around the other night, since my husband was out and I wasn't allowed to watch Lost or Entourage, I stumbled across the dreadful film The Beach. It starred, of course, recent Slap Leonardo DiCaprio, but for me the highlight of the film was French actor Guillaume Canet, who played Etienne.
Guillaume has been in lots of things, mostly French of course. Well, actually, it looks like they're all in French. So exploring his body of work is left as an exercise to the reader.
this guy is hot! if you have never been to France you need to...these hot French guys all have huge bulges...I mean distractingly so!

that second to last pic isn't him, that's that one cute guy from 'Saw'. but other than that, i agree with fahmko, he was ADORABLE in white in 'love me if you dare'.
For today's Slap we go to a guy that, as far as I can tell, nobody has ever suggested. How can this be?? You guys are asleep on the job! Of course, so am I since it's taken me this long to get him up.
Sean Patrick Flanery first came to my attention in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles as, of course, Indiana Jones. The show was predictably terrible, but the eye candy was good. I had high hopes when I saw the trailer for Powder - it looked like there might be some good skin in there too, but that whole white makeup thing was kinda creepy looking, even if he did show his cock. (Pics after the jump.)
Sean has been in tons of other things, but they seem rather obscure and I don't remember any of them. Can anyone share any highlights?
LOVE this guy!! Powder was creepy, but otherwise he's beautiful!!!

DUDE!!! One of my all-time faves at long last. Flanery's been under the radar for much of his career, without nearly enough web exposure. Hotter than hot, man, thanks so much.
President Bush insists that global warming is a serious problem. He goes on to qualify that by saying "There's a debate over whether it's manmade or naturally caused".
Fine. I don't really agree - nor do I disagree for that matter, I just don't know enough - were I to guess, I'd say we're contributing more to global warming than is healthy for us in the long run. But that's not my point.
My point is this - Bush wants to implement technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions:
The truth of the matter is, if this country wants to get rid of its greenhouse gases, we've got to have the nuclear power industry be vibrant and viable
Well, that sounds super - but if we're not responsible for warming, will it make any difference at all? Fine, we want to rid ourselves of other pollutants, but he's talking specifically about reducing greenhouse gases. But if he's right, who cares about greenhouse gases?
Global warming is bad and if we don't stop fucking up this world we'll drown within the next decade because of the ice caps, but I don't like the fact he uses a big issue to try and sell nuclear power. That just makes it suspicious. For a country as powerful and big as America, you would think that you guys can choose a proper leader. And besides, America has such an influnce that the rest of the world should be allowed to vote for your leader. You need to have the "if you don't vote we'll fine you" thing that Australia does so atleast you don't just get the Red necks voting. Thats the democratic way.

Bush unfortunately represents a typical American; ignorant and stupid.
Most Americans don't understand and don't know the science behind global warming. Their attitude is if it's too difficult to understand then it doesn't exist. So when someone who knows nothing about global warming tries to express his opinion on the subject, he can't help but sound ignorant...because he is ignorant.
anonymous

2011-05-09 21:51
The Bush administration doesn't have a great track record when it comes to understanding or following scientific findings. Rather than viewing science as anything conclusive, Bush and friends tend to look at concrete, corroborated scientific findings as somebody's personal opinion and therefore, easily dismissed. They feel that they know what's best despite the fact that they don't have any scientific expertise.
Politics is more important than science. How many incidents have emerged in which a press secretary or some other political chrony rewrites or spins scientific information to make the administration look good despite the actual scientific findings.
Absolutely moronic...

Let's face it. The man is an idiot and so are the millions who voted for it. He's from the "awl bidness", probably the worst offenders for greenhouse gases. Some of us aren't as stupid as he'd like us to be, and don't buy anything that vomits out of him, or any of his minions.

Well as American(ns) decide whether they are collectively stupid or ignorant or just stuck with a bad leader it once again ignores the fact the 'as the greatest power in the world' the decision made by american administrations effect THE WHOLE WORLD - THAT is what is so frustrating and infuriating about the nation. America loves to spout out about being the most important country in the world and time and time again shows it is a leader when it wants to be. That a nation relatively small in proportion to the rest of the world has such a disproportionate effect on the PLANET'S environment b/c they have an appetite for 'big' toys is astonishing and borderline evil. It is not to suggest the country doesn't serve an important and positive influence as well, however in the greater scheme of things we are doing more harm than good right now and the populous' attitude of blaming the administration for all the woes and letting the mad-man get away with even a few of the things it does is the most frustrating aspect. If you're going to talk the talk, then walk the walk....

It's the All-Roddick Channel
Wimbledon starts today, and as you might guess, it's already raining. So since they couldn't play, ESPN was broadcasting last year's final - with Andy Roddick and Roger Federer.
Now, as cute as I think Roddick is, this is not a good omen. During tournaments like this, whenever they don't have a marquis match to show, they seem to resort to showing Roddick. I suppose watching last year's final isn't unreasonable, but I've seen them show repeats of his match from the day before - on days when it wasn't raining!
So again, as cute as I think he is - I'm over-Roddick-ed. Augh!
I'm embarassed to admit that I watched the teen-chick-flick First Daughter a couple of days ago. But in a way I'm glad I did, because it reminded me that Marc Blucas needed to be Slapped - really hard!
What a hottie he is! I was kind of disappointed that he didn't take his shirt off more during the movie, but I was able to grab a couple of shots from elsewhere - thanks to Dewey at Dreamcaps. Marc played a fairly big role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and was also in one of my favorite shows ever - MTV's Undressed. Talk about a guilty pleasure! I didn't see him in that but you can be sure there was plenty of skin.
Oh Riley Finn definately did it for me - I almost hed actual tears when he left Buffy... Photos alone don't do him justice unfortunately, he played a sensitive perfect-in-almost-every-way character in Buffy who I was (and still am) determined to find in the real world!! he he....

Well, to me the amount of hair on his chest is 100% right. Love him!

You call that fur? Not anything against Igor because he is relatively attractive but furry, no way. Neither was Bruce Willis for that matter. Just because you have 12 chest hairs does not qualify you as "Furry". Pete Sampras was excessive, Tom Selleck was ideal. In my estimation, to qualify as furry, the chest hair must completely cover the pecs from nipple to nipple, clavicle to defined pec line and then lead to a "treasure trail". These furry daddies that have a completely furry belly border on excessive and anything less should just be waxed. Don't get me wrong, Bruce Willis definitely holds a place in line for my rec room for a romp but I would throw him out for a 70's era Sam Elliot any day.

gosh both yis fur and anti-fur nazis are a little over-involved in the terminology, right? this guy comes across as more furry than your average tanned and waxed bit of meat, which i appreciate. on the other hand, its really the obsession with tanning and waxing in the first place that bothers me ... if we're looking for manly types, all the primping kind of ruins it, doesn't it?
that's why nick whatshisface, the guy who was with jessica simpson, will never do it for me. but i'm liking the guys of fur week because they look a whole lot less groomed. this last one might be the exception, but sure for these model types its their job, right?

On your e-mail...
I guess it's time I posted this again.
When it comes to e-mail, I really appreciate the e-mail everyone takes the time to send. But please realize - I get a ton of suggestions. If I stopped taking suggestions today, I'd have enough to last until the end of the year. So I really can't Slap everyone's suggestion in a timely fashion. And it doesn't always make sense to Slap in the order the suggestions arrived. So I end up posting suggested Slaps somewhat randomly, and the fact that I haven't Slapped the guy you suggested is really nothing personal.
And please, don't be offended if I don't respond to your e-mail promptly. I get a huge number of e-mails every day - from this site and from work - and there's only so much time. Sometimes I'm just too busy to get a response out. But I do try to respond to all of them - and if, by some chance, I still haven't responded to yours, again, it's not personal. Some just get lost in the shuffle.
Regardless, keep sending your suggestions and other e-mails. I do enjoy hearing from everyone. And if you think your suggestion is a really good one, send it again. Some suggestions get posted simply because I read them at the exact moment that I'm looking for inspiration. And some get posted simply becuase the suggester sends along a batch of pictures ready-made for posting and I'm feeling lazy. In fact, I have one in my inbox right now that might just get that treatment. I don't post my e-mail address here for spam reasons, but if you want it just drop me a note - I'll send back my address and you can send any attachments you like. But if you send me a virus I'll hunt you down and kill you...
Stephen wrote to suggest U.K. model Steve Jones as a candidate for a "fur week" Slap. He's not what I'd normally consider furry, but he's got a nice bit of hair there. And as far as I'm concerned, he passes into fur week with flying colors - what a hottie! Perhaps this will appease some of you who were so aggravated by Bruce Willis.
P.S. I think the link above to IMDB is to the correct Steve Jones. There are a lot of people named "Steve Jones" on there...
P.P.S. OK, I updated the link to the right IMDB page. Thanks Ive!
P.P.P.S. Richard was kind enough to send along a couple extra pics of Steve, including one where he's playing David Beckham. Nice, thanks! Check 'em out!
Fur, no fur, fur, no fur....it seems we all want what we don't have, then factor in the hairless twink factor. To me a hot guy is just that, HOT. It's more about attitude, confidence, being fit anf taking care of himself. Just my 2¢

I'll always remember the medical student who looked like Pete Sampras' twin who asked me out. Only I was so flabbergasted by his hunkiness that I assumed that I misunderstood and that he really didn't mean what it sounded like, and didn't call him back. What a dummy I was.
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Bruce Willis when I asked for furry suggestions. I mean, no he's not as furry as Matthew Fox, and not as furry as tomorrow's Slap, but there's something decidedly non-smooth, non-twinkish about him.
I don't imagine many people need reminding, but Bruce got his start on Moonlighting, and is probably best known for the Die Hard moveies. To me, his best role was as Dr. Malcolm Crowe in The Sixth Sense. For which, by the way, he was paid $100,000,000. Wow. Nice work if you can get it.
Non-smooth, non-twinkish, non-attractive. Maybe that could b why no one sugested him?

Bruce Willis is, in the eys of many, a masculine, sexy man. That said, he is a vocal supporter of the Bush Administration's follies in Iraq and its policies of American hegemony--and all the suffering and bloodshed they entail.
For those reasons alone, despite his sexiness, he's no slap.

The two pictures of the man nude in the surf can't be Bruce. In Color of Night, a shot of Bruce's cock in the hot tub showed it to be short but thick, unlike that guy's in the picture. Also since Bruce went shaved head in his middle age he has never been as skinny or shaved his chest hair as has the guy in the surf.

Lost theories
Augusto, like me, likes Lost and, more importantly, Matthew Fox. He also just recently finished watching the past season and has some interesting thoughts on the season finale - and what the fuck is happening on that damn island!
Day 3 of Bent's Fur Week comes at the suggestion of Jason. Surely nobody will claim that Matthew Fox isn't a good representative of great looking furry guys.
I've been especially pleased as I've gone through the 2nd season of Lost - Matthew has been a lot more compliant about taking off his shirt, although fellow "Lost"-ee Sawyer (Josh Holloway) has been the only one that I've seen wear "appropriate" swimming attire. That is, on a desert island. If you'd been stranded on a desert island for 2 months, what would you likely wear in the water? Right. Boxers. Not your jeans and button front shirt. Sheesh!
Oh, and if you didn't see the link to QueerBeacon's scoop on Matthew and his swimming attire, be sure to check it out.
Fuck yeah. And after 2 months on a desert island why would you wear anything at all in the water?

A couple of hot pictures there. He'd be hotter if he let the hair on his head grow out too. Or at least kept from his neck up to his jaw shaved, otherwise his jaw line just disappears.

What truly amazes me is that so many of my countrymen remain enamored of this 'Potomac Caesar' who is laying such a murderous ax to what is left of our freedoms. I wonder what ancient chroniclers like Suetonius & Tacitus would make of this modern day enthroned fool. What sad tales would come down through the ages to the amazement of future history readers of him searching under banquet tables to the bemused laughter of his lackeys for WMDs like a modern day NERO! Perhaps Gore Vidal will assist us with such an effort; history would be indebted to him for it.
I haven't mentioned it in quite some time, but the release of their newest browser seems like as good an occasion as any to advocate for my favorite web browser: Opera.
I know, I know. Firefox is the cool kid on the block, but for my money (well, OK, it's free...) Opera is the best browser out there. Opera has all of the functions that Firefox does, plus extra customizations that Firefox and IE simply don't offer. And with version 9, it now has built-in functionality for reading RSS news feeds (perfect for reading this site!!), BitTorrent and others! What more could you ask for?
OK, fine. You don't want Opera. But please don't just stick with Internet Explorer. It's old technology (5 years since the last update!), and its position as the leader in the market makes it a prime target for worms and other online attacks. So if you're in the market for a new browser - and you should be - give Opera a whirl!
LOOOOOOVE OPERA! YOU CAN RIGHT NOTES IN THE FLOATING SIDE PANEL, AND BEST OF ALL IT OPENS TO ALL THE WEB PAGES YOUR WERE LOOKING AT WHEN YOU CLOSED IT. THE BEST.

He's very fit and obviously a low body fat percentage but still too thin for my taste. Not that he doesn't look great, but in my opinion he could work on those pecs and biceps and add about 20 pounds of muscle. What is it with this fear of having a bit of meat on your bones?
I think today's Slap - a suggestion for Fur Week from Brian - is one of the iconic "furry guys" in the world. Which makes it all the more surprising that I've never Slapped him before. I mean - Tom Selleck and Sean Connery are the prototypes, aren't they?
Anyway, Tom is best known for his role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I.. And he was really entertaining in Her Alibi. But my favorite role of his was as a gay newscaster in In & Out, where he lip locked with Kevin Kline.
I'm not a twink fan by any means, but you've gone too far in the other direction. What do we have to look forward to next? Sean Connery? Hume Cronin?

I always found Tom hot in the past, particularly when he wore those hot shorts to show off his muscular hairy legs on "Magnum PI" and even earlier when he advertised "Stetson" cologne. BUT that was 20-30 years ago. He is still very attractive "for his age" and he's a good choice to SLAP, but more of the selected pics posted here should have been relatively recent, at least of him within the past 5-10 years. Older men of age 60 can still be handsome, so how about more pics that reflect the way these aging hunks look now.

Give the guy a break! He has held up well for his age. In his prime he probably could have been named People's Sexiest Man Alive. I wouldn't want to do him now either but when he was 30....Yum! Just because we get older doesn't mean we can't be sexy. It just means I don't want to picture you having sex. Hell, I'm getting older and I don't want to picture myself having sex! But age does happen. So get over it!

I was hot for him in high school, and I'd still do him now. Maybe he isn't/wasn't as cut as the guys on the tube today, but I'd take him over any silly little twink any day.
You may remember the slight kerfuffle over the anti-gay spot that appeared to be in production for MADD. I just received two e-mails (from Chris and Jim), apparently containing an apology written by MADD Canada's ad agency, Saatchi Canada, taking responsibility for the spot:
Mr. Andy Murie CEO MADD Canada 2010 Winston Park Drive, Suite 500 Oakville, ON L6H 5R7
Dear Andy:
On behalf of Saatchi Canada I would like to apologize for the press you received in the The L.A. Independent. The facts of the story were wrong. The spot was not being created to go to air and you had no awareness of the creation of this spot under the name MADD.
Saatchi & Saatchi was working on their own in an attempt to test areas that were more relevant to a younger target group. One of the areas was the spot described in the article. Sometimes it is better to see concepts shot in a rough form in order to see if there is any merit in their application.
When it comes to advertising to a younger target pushing the boundaries is what we have to try to do, but it should never be at the expense of an individual or any group.
It is unfortunate that news of this spot got out since the likelihood of it advancing was improbable.
I encourage our teams to always be thoughtful of all of our clients in a proactive fashion. It is regrettable that on this occasion our actions had a negative effect. Again, I would like to stress how truly sorry we are for that.
All action has been terminated on this spot. Should you have any comments or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at the above number.
Sincerely,
Brett Channer
CEO/Executive Creative Director cc: Dawn Regan
Assuming for a moment that this is genuine, I think it's great. For one thing, I'm glad to hear that the ad wasn't really intended to run in the first place, and I'm glad to see that Saatchi took responsibility and killed it quickly, and finally I'm glad that MADD apparently wasn't involved at all.
More to the point, I appreciate the need for "experimental" spots to test target audiences and explore shifting demographics. Nevertheless, producing an ad that implies that alcohol and/or drugs might "turn you gay" - or worse (incest) - is over the top. No, it wasn't intended for public distribution, but casting notices, while having limited distribution, still land on a lot of eyeballs. It's surprising that Saatchi was so careless.
I got the same response, I feel a little dumb getting so bent (no pun intended) out of shape about it.

Good apology, even if it does further the image that the gay community is some fragile group which has to complain a lot. I think the GLBT community needs to lighten up sometimes.
hat12
|
2011-05-09 21:51
I don't see how you can draw that conclusion from the letter. The proto-ad was bigoted and reinforced negative attitudes about gay men. I think that's worth complaining about. What's worse is that the ad agency thought this might be a viable approach. Why did Saatchi Canada think that dissing gays would be "more relevant to a younger target group?" Who funds Saatchi? - the Republican Party? If someone on their staff had proposed making fun of a religious or ethnic minority, you know it wouldn't have made it off the table. Lighten up? Hat12, in case you hadn't heard, there's a "culture war" being fought, and we're the ones with the targets painted on our backs.
Mark

2011-05-09 21:51
The casting call and idea for the sample ad were inappropriate from the get-go, and the uproar was actually quite appropriate. Saatchi showed striking incompetence by even advancing the idea to that stage and having people actually *working* on the idea. Complete inanity. Imagine an ad agency putting out casting calls for black actors for "test spot" linking drunk driving and being black? The uproar would be appropriate then, too. And, even if something is in-house and not meant for public consumption, that doesn't mean it's appropriate, either: just because your papa hits your mama behind closed doors doesn't make it right, and the neighbors have a responsibility to call for help.

You guys take yourselves too seriously - do you not have more important things to worry about? I think the ad would have been fun and light-hearted - not making fun and homophobic. What are you guys the gay morality police, or homo-facists??

Unfortunately, this person Gerrard Whelan from NYC is the worst kind of gay person WE WOULD ALL NOT WANT WORKING AT AN AD AGENCY AT ALL!!! Since Gerrard Whelan is so desperate to take any ad agency job and then allow all kinds of racism and anti-gay things to happen right in front of their Gerrard Whelan noses and instead of saying: 'I find this offensive' or 'I find this insulting' or 'I find this to be anti-gay or anti-black' this Gerrard Whelan person would rather swallow their true feelings of being Gay Bashed and just be another step and fetch it type person. In 2006, Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and Transgenders DO NOT WANT SOMEONE LIKE GERRARD WHELAN to be working in any capacity for any of us. Since Gerrard Whelan is just so desperate for any type of office job or any job at all that they would give up their own integral rights as a person, a gay, a lesbian and just do whatever they could do just to keep everyone happy and keep their job. This is exactly the type of younger gay person who does not get the point, does not see the point and thinks their desperate behaviour is perfectly A-okay and fine. Which of course it IS NOT!!!

I believe unfortunately that someone has made up this person and name to come off that we all as Gays, Bisexuals, Lesbians and Transgenders should just tolerate something so desperately wrong.
And then an unknown person hiding behind a fake name: Gerrard Whelan does not even have the courage to put their real name in a comment response on this blog.
It's probably the ad agency or MADD to cover their tracks. The funny thing is they allude that 'just because you weren't considered in casting' which is funny since the casting was for men much younger than me and I would have never been submitted by my agent or manager for this casting notice at all.
So it leads me to believe this FAKE person GERRARD WHELAN must be connected to this project on some level and now they are trying to back pedal by bashing me and my insightful article and research.

Thank god for iTunes!
My husband and I are big fans of ABC's hit series Lost, but somehow this season we lost track and stopped watching about half way through. I still don't remember how we dropped the ball, but there you have it.
So thank god for iTunes - I recently bought the entire season (we missed so many episodes, it was actually cheaper to buy them all than one at a time), and I hooked my laptop to our plasma TV so we can catch up. What a fantastic system! No commercials, no hassle at all. Now if I can just remember to turn off instant messenger before we start, it'll be perfect.
Oh, and while I'm at it.
[SPOILER] I'm really mad they killed off Ana-Lucia and Libby. Given the nature of the show, I guess they could bring them back, but they haven't done that before, so I don't know why they'd start now. And I want to throttle Michael for being the one who killed them - he's been pissing me off lately with his "fuck the rest of you" attitude.
And could Locke and Jack act any more like a married couple? And someone really needs to take Sawyer and flush his head down the toilet. [/SPOILER]
I was trolling around famousmales forums the other day and came across some new pics of British actor Paul Nicholls. It's been well over a year since I Slapped him and I figured it was time for an update. And what an update! This guy is just AMAZING! That smile. That fur! That body! I think I've made my choice for Slap of the Month.
Also, this is the first day of fur week, and I think Paul is a good intro. I know I stretch the definition of "twink" sometimes, so bear with me here, but Paul is, for lack of a better term, a "furry twink". He has that twink-ish look, but he also has a nice bit of fur (if he resists the urge to shave). So that makes him a good transition from "Smooth Soccer Stud Slaps" to "Furry Slaps". Eh. What the fuck do I know? Reading that back, it sounds like a lot of crap.

The complaint isn't against "no fur", it's the body types inhabiting them. I think a lot of it comes from the fantasy of being swept off your feet by a man with the body to actually do it. Nothing against the majority but broad shoulders, defined pecs, flat abs and nice arms are definitely a draw to many of us. As mentioned before, Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, Robert Conrad, Thomas Jane, Matthew McConaughey, Harrison Ford, Mark Harmon, Matthew Fox, Joel Gretsch, Jamie Bamber, Josh Lucas, Dylan McDermott - all of these men, currently or in their prime, represented the Alpha Male. They looked the part of the caretaker and had the sensuality of a caregiver. The man who would sweep you off your feet (literally) and carry you to the bed for your own "Moonstruck" moment. Why do you think the lead characters in most romance novels look like they stepped out of the pages of International Male? Because this is the dream. You cannot be saved by arms that look like they can't even punch a hole in a wet paper bag. So as much as the "twink" image is prelavent here and in society, I will never waste my time on any image that doesn't look like they stepped off the pages of International Male. But that's just my opinion.

I personally think that "furry twinks" is an excellent term to describe this type of guy, and I love the look! There's something extremely attractive about a guy having some slightly boyish charm, and then a masculine hairy chest to prove that he's a real man. There needs to be more of it - a lot of "twinky" guys shave/wax to fit into the twink stereotype, and I think it's a bit of a shame really.
I figured there was no way I could skip some of the footballers that really need to be Slapped - hard - so I'll run a few down here, which is fairly easy because they've been Slapped in the past:
David Beckham (readers' choice for Slap of the Year!):
Today's Slap comes courtesy of hat12 - he asked so nicely, I just had to include Joe Cole. Joe is currently an attacking midfielder for Chelsea, and right now he's obviously in Germany, representing England in the World Cup.
Today's Slap comes at the request of Johnnie, and a long ago (centuries, almost) submission by Don. Andriy Shevchenko is a Ukranian star playing for his home country in the World Cup. Most of the time, however, he plays for Chelsea, having recently been acquired from AC Milan. For £30,000,000. Andriy must be good too.
Update: I really should read my e-mail more often (and more closely). Johnnie had sent along a pic of Andriy to include in today's Slap. Thanks Johnnie!!

I can't believe it - and I'm sure you can't either - but I'm over-twinked! All these footballers are hot, but I need some fur!!
I'm going to do a couple more players since this is, after all, the first week of the World Cup, but next week I'm going to try to get some fur in. So I need suggestions! If I've been neglecting your favorite furball or older guy, let me know! I get WAY more suggestions than I can ever use - or keep track of, for that matter - but if you send me fur in the next few days, it'll be very likely to get in!
I got a couple of requests for today's World Cup Slap. Jim wrote to request him, and Mark wrote to say:
now I know it goes without saying but you are going to slap Michael Owen for the world cup right
Yes, indeed I am. To me, MichaelOwen is the original soccer football hottie. Somehow, I was aware of Micahel before I'd ever even heard of that Beckham fellow. Michael is a striker for Newcastle United, having recently returned from Real Madrid - in a £17,000,000 transfer. Wow. He must be good.
He's cute...but he looks ridiculous with his pants and shorts always pulled up so high.

Well, it all sounds good until...
Category:
Politics
Paul sent along this little nugget:
Merrill Lynch heir Charles Merrill, and his partner of 15 years, Kevin Boyle, have started a gaytax protest, planning not to pay their federal income taxes until the tax rules in the United States treat gay people fairly. Apparently, they haven't paid their taxes - and haven't filed tax returns - since 2004, calling the current system "taxation without representation".
While I support their objectives - unfair tax treatment is one of the most significant, and tangible, negative effects that gay people suffer by being denied marriage rights - I wonder if refusing to pay taxes is the best way to go about it. Merrill certainly seems to be getting a fair amount of press for his effort, indicating that he is willing to go to jail to prove his point.
I'm certainly not joining their efforts - I have no intention going to prison - but it is an interesting idea. I just worry that it will end up causing more harm than good when the Christianists start labeling people "tax evading gays".
If Charles Merrill really wants to make a stir, he should get all the gays to quit shopping. Can you say economic chaos [hey, it worked for the Daughters of Liberty].
wyocwby

2011-05-09 21:51
Charles is not the heir to Merrill Lynch, he is a distant cousin to the guy who is! LMAO Charles Merrill and Kevin Boyle will fit right in in prison! You don't screw with the IRS.
I got at least two requests for today's Slap - Swedish footballer Freddie Ljungberg - from Ruben and Adrian. I may have gotten more, but I can't track them down. I'm sure, in fact, that I must have gotten more, because how could a guy this hot have gotten by so many radars??
I have to admit that I recognize the face - well, the underwear pics, anyway - but I couldn't have told you anything about the guy in the picture. Apparently, he's an attacking midfielder for Arsenal. Um, yeah. I knew that.
Honestly, I couldn't care less about watching most sports - tennis and golf are really the only two exceptions - but with guys that look like these recent few Slaps, I could get used to soccer.
This brings to mind something I find odd about myself. Looking at his tight little tummy, I have the urge to lick it. Lick it, and lick it and lick it. Is that an odd fetish that I'm alone in? Does anyone else feel compelled to lick a tight tummy when they see one?? (among other things to lick of course... I'm talking initial impulses.)
I've spent many a moment staring at that Calvin Kline billboard in the TTC subways. It's still hot.

WV is the only place I know where you can be the only one driving on a six lane highway to no where.
Continuing with our WorldCup 2006 theme, today's Slap was mentioned by Ben. Carlos Bocanegra was a defender for the Chicago Fire, but he apparently made a move recently to Fulham. Hopefully, his new English teammates will teach him to take his shirt off at the end of games - clearly someone missed that bit of his training.
He played yesterday when the U.S. Team played The Czech Republic. You can see him again on Saturday, in what is reported to be a great match-up, when they face Italy and one more time next week when they take the field against Ghana.
Okay, I know the community is obsessed with youth, but I'm beginning to feel like a pedophile with all of these babies! Is there no one attractive over 30 anymore? I guess at 40 I'm not the target demographic for this site but these pics are starting to look as recycled as any Saturday night at a gay bar. It's the same look on the same faces on the same "swimmer's body" on the same interchangable twinkie twenty somethings. I'm not even talking about chest hair. I'm talking variety. Sure we got Kevin Sorbo recently but what about Anderson Cooper, Julian McMahon, Stone Phillips, or Greg Kinnear? We got Pierce Brosnan's son but what about him? I don't mean to be a bitch, and I do visit this site daily, but it's getting a bit redundant.

My browser must not be loading all of the pictures of Carlos. Where are the ones with his dick and balls swinging out of his shorts? You set the standard yesterday and then took it all away. NOT FAIR
And come on, he's not one of those who look underage! I have drooled over my share of twinks, but I'd feel no shame canoodling with this guy.

“Casting Notice: GUYS WILLING TO KISS ANOTHER GUY, 18 to 21, all ethnicities but leaning towards Caucasian. Everyone must be willing to kiss another guy passionately for about 10 seconds. Everyone will have to make out at the callbacks. They should seem like very regular guys. They should seem very hetero, so it is unexpected to see the guys making out. BASIC SCENARIO: Three friends completely stoned out of their minds sit in a car vegging out. The two guys in the front seat begin making out.
“After a few moments they pull away from each other, and one says: ‘Wait a minute…we’re not gay’ A super imposed image comes up on the screen: that says: ‘DRUGS SLOW DOWN YOUR REACTION TIME’ Then another super imposed image comes up on the screen: ‘IF YOU’RE HIGH YOU CAN’T DRIVE’ Then cut to the guy in the back seat who says: ‘Not that there’s anything wrong with that…and like, aren’t you guys brothers?’ “ End of PSA.
You've got to be kidding. That's the dumbest - and most obnoxious - thing I've come across in some time. And the "Not that there's anything wrong with that" at the end is wasted.
How does this reduce drug use? "Dude, you better not smoke pot, or you'll become a fag." Yeah, I guess that's it. (Via GayOrbit)
Update: You can reach MADD here. Better yet, send them an e-mail here or fax them at: 972-869-2206. In general faxes are taken more seriously, so if you have the time and are able, I recommend a fax. That's what I'm doing.
Update 2: Several people have noted that the guy who wrote the original article hasn't provided any documentation or follow-up. And I have yet to see any independent confirmation of the allegations. I'm hoping that the guy was, in fact, wrong - I think that MADD in general is doing some good and I'd hate to see them stoop so low. If anyone hears anything, let me know.
Apparently these 'mothers' are against drunk driving, but they are completely for homophobia....
what is wrong with these people, and where do we write or who do we contact to express our disgust with this planned announcement?

Folks,
Before we go off all, er, half-cocked, please note that the blogger who posted this has not been able to confirm the story at all. In short, there is no proof that this is a *real* casting call for a real ad.

Here is the response I got from MADD:
Dear Jack,
A recent newspaper column indicating MADD's involvement with a casting notice for a public service announcement is not true. MADD had no knowledge of the notice and any questions regarding it should be directed to MADD Canada-who also had no knowledge of the notice that was posted.
MADD's mission is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and to prevent underage drinking. MADD aims to save lives by protecting the nation's roadways and all of our resources, including public service announcements, support this.
Please see below a letter of apology sent to MADD Canada by its advertising firm.
***********************
June 14th, 2006
Mr. Andy Murie CEO MADD Canada 2010 Winston Park Drive, Suite 500 Oakville, ON L6H 5R7
Dear Andy:
On behalf of Saatchi Canada I would like to apologize for the press you received in the The L.A. Independent. The facts of the story were wrong. The spot was not being created to go to air and you had no awareness of the creation of this spot under the name MADD.
Saatchi & Saatchi was working on their own in an attempt to test areas that were more relevant to a younger target group. One of the areas was the spot described in the article. Sometimes it is better to see concepts shot in a rough form in order to see if there is any merit in their application.
When it comes to advertising to a younger target pushing the boundaries is what we have to try to do, but it should never be at the expense of an individual or any group.
It is unfortunate that news of this spot got out since the likelihood of it advancing was improbable.
I encourage our teams to always be thoughtful of all of our clients in a proactive fashion. It is regrettable that on this occasion our actions had a negative effect. Again, I would like to stress how truly sorry we are for that.
All action has been terminated on this spot. Should you have any comments or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at the above number.
Hey nice, red shirt guy def best. I was watching the soccer last nyt, as us insomniacs do and thought omg, bent should slap Tim Cahill. Hot soccer dude from australia. Whats not to love?
Sorry for the delay in posting Italy pictures, but it's been a busy couple of weeks. So where we last left off, we were staying in Radda in Chianti.
-------------------------------
Day 5 started at our hotel in Radda. A nice breakfast was included with the room rate, so we of course couldn't pass that up - my favorite was the blood orange juice. Why is that so easy to find in Italy, but virtually impossible to find here?? After breakfast, my husband and our friend TJ, both lapsed Catholics, decided to attend an Italian mass.
Hank and I, on the other hand, decided it was time to spend a little time with our Dean Koontz books. Sitting by the pool, we ordered mimosas and kicked back. The other boys finally returned, surprised at how even in Italian a Catholic Mass is universal.
Wasting no more time, we hit the road to see the sights. We decided, based on guidebook suggestions, to hit the medieval town of San Gimignano. TJ never could seem to get the pronunciation right, so we referred to it as "San G". On the way to San G, we found a winery that was open for tastings - finally!
Il Borgo de Vescine turned out to be a fantastic winery. I was surprised at the breadth and depth of the tasting - we sampled no fewer than 6 wines, with fruit, bread and cheese. My favorite? A white varietal that I'd never heard of - Tocai. It's not a grape grown in Tuscany - it actually comes from the area near Venice. I'm not typically a fan of white wines, but this one was exceptional - unfortunately I only got a small taste, as the bottle we bought was stolen along with our suitcase later in the trip.
So having had, perhaps, a tad too much wine, we moved out, headed for San Gimignano. I could not believe the size of the crowds - it was apparently an Italian national holiday, and I think the entire population of Rome vacations in San G. We scarfed a couple of slices of pizza for lunch, made the requisite stop for gelato, and visited the torture museum so that we could puke it all back up. Seriously - what a creepy exhibit - if you want to find out more, I'm gonna make you look for it yourself, it's just too bizarre to type.
We took a trip to the top of the tallest tower in town and got some exceptional views. When we returned to our car, we were surprised to see a parking ticket - we didn't see anything obvious we'd done wrong; later we asked someone at our hotel to translate the ticket, and it said that we'd "parked in a crosswalk". I don't think we did, but we didn't take pictures of the situation, so what could we do? Pay the fine. How much, you ask? 71 Euros. Yes, you read that right - 71 Euros. A mere $90. For a parking ticket. Yikes!!
San G struck again - probably for shortening its name - as we tried to leave. The traffic was so bad that we couldn't get on the road back to Radda, and we ended up going farther west - to Volterra. Arriving late in the evening, all we really had time for was dinner. Fodor's recommended a "great place for locals" and after a lot of wandering - and asking directions from an 80-year old Italian woman that spoke not a word of English - we tracked it down and were told they had no tables available. We slogged our way all the way back up the hill - Volterra is way up there! - and dropped in on a different fantastic locals place - Ristorante La Pace Di ... something or other (my credit card receipt has faded). The waiter was fantastic - he walked up and said "let me guess, you want a typically Tuscan meal, no?" Yes. He took care of everything for us - the food was exceptional and, I suppose, typically Tuscan.
We didn't realize just how far we'd driven from our hotel - the trip back was 1.5 hours. And let me tell you, driving around rural Italy at 11pm is quite the challenge; at least we only got lost once.
Several people, including Johnnie, Ben & Ruben, wrote to suggest that I Slap a few soccer players footballers in honor of the start of The 2006 World Cup.
Well, what a charming idea. We'll start the week off with one of Johnnie's suggestions, German Sebastian Kehl. I looked and looked and couldn't find any shirtless pics of this tasty morsel, but I did find a nice pic of his ass (well 1/2 of it), and some great stills from an amazing video of his cock flopping around on the pitch. (Wow, look at that use of the lingo!)
So, enjoy Sebastian, and if you know of any shirtless pics, point me in the right direction!
Very nice. Dick shot too! But please be sure to do Joe Cole at some point. Or I'll get angry and you don't want to see me angry!

I've thought Sebastian hot for some time and I'm a big fan of Dortmund, the team for which he plays. But the real hottie of the team is Roman Weidenfeller, the goalkeeper.
Kip was kind enough to send along some information about the new 2007 NYC Firefighters Calendar. These calendars, because all those firefighter hotties are kind enough to take their shirts off and pose around the city of New York. What more could you ask for??
Bill wrote to request today's Slap, actor Mark Valley of Boston Legal, and also one of the hotties, I'm sure, from The 4400 that people mentioned when I featured Chad Faust.
Joey - you remember Joey, don't you? He gave me that huge list of lovely suggestions - sent along the idea for today's Slap. I'm kinda surprised I haven't Slapped him before, but Leonardo DiCaprio always confuses me. I've always liked his work - I think he's an exceptional actor - but I can never decide if I think he's cute or not. And his looks really don't change, so I'm not sure why it's a problem for me.
Anyway, if you're interested in seeing a decent amount of Leo skin, check out The Beach. And I seem to remember an ass shot from The Aviator, but couldn't track it down. One of my favorites was Catch Me if You Can, and it looks like he has four more projects on the way, in various stages of development. So if you're a Leo fan, it looks like it's gonna be a good couple of years!
He can be seen totally naked in "Total Eclipse" as the French poet Rimbaud. There's not much to see, unfortunately. I agree with you about whether he's hot or not. His body has never been in great shape, he has a small dick, and he still looks like a jaded 17 year old.

this reminds me of the situation here in Canada. We passed the same sex marriage law last year and now the newly elected Conservative (your Republican equivalent)government is planning to re-open the case in the fall. They want to have a "free" vote in the House meaning that the members will be able to vote as they themselves wish to vote, as opposed to following the views of the political party to which they belong.
This at a time when we have much more important issues, like terrorism!!

I have always found very amusing how you (citizens of the US, not Americans 'cos that is anyone who's born in the American Continent) can find any difference between Democrats and Republicans. From an outsider's perspective (a decently informed outsider), it's all the same.
Perhaps, an individual might have a distict view on a given issue. However, when it comes to the parties and the big politics, it's all the same. One party may like better blue to green. But, does it really matter?
For the rest of the world they are equivalent. They perform the same imperialist politics. Their arrogance is the same. And for your homeland, well, it doesn't look that different either.
Even if you might disagree, I hope this helped you to understand the world view on your politics.
A Brazilian.
P.S.: I gotta admit one thing. Since Bush has been elected, it's been much better for Latin America. He's doesn't give a shit about us (exception made to the immigration issue). And trust me, all Latin Americans pray every day for it to continue so! May Bush keep all his efforts focused in the Middle East! Oh, as you might know, that's because Clinton was a little bit too intrusive in Latin America. I'd vote for Bush!

2011-05-09 21:51
Yeah, there's pretty much of a consensus on most issues between Democrats and Republicans. It's a drag. But as for the term "American," I'm sorry but we simply don't have another adjective or noun (depending on the situation) to use. Even "citizen of the United States is unclear," since the official name of Mexico is The United States of Mexico, is it not? It's not like the term "American" should confuse anyone; I've never heard a Brazilian call himself anything other than a Brazilian.

He He He I guess I should read before i write...... :-)
I've gotten two fairly recent requests for today's Slap, so I figured I better get him in. Mostly I only get one request for each guy, but Chad Faust seems to have piqued the interest of a number of people including David and Carter. So here he is - currently he's spending most of his time in The 4400, one of the latest supernatural series out there. Some of the pics after the jump (courtesy of Dreamcaps) show some decent skin (and an OK looking bulge) as he gets out of bed. Nice!
Paul wrote to commend my attention to today's hottie, actor Lucas Black. Lucas has looked sexy in lots of things, including Jarhead, Cold Mountain (whence comes the ass shot after the jump - I think it's him, but can't tell for sure), and currently in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Lucas is quite the hottie - how have I missed him? Thanks Paul!

Thank goodness the admenment to legalized gay bashing failed today. This why the Democrats are better than republicans. Republicans have sponsored all the major anti-gay movements in the US. The reason some sad Dems would pander to the right for votes is because they can't count on the gays for votes. The gay vote has been weakened by the Log Cabin idiots and gays who don't vote. The log cabin is self hatred manifesting itself politically.
Oh my goodness, I've said too much.

X-Men
Apropos of the recent X-Slaps I featured here, Augusto over at QueerBeaacon sent me his review of X-Men: The Last Stand. It doesn't apparently have any explicit gay content, but the prospect of seeing Ben Foster shirtless on screen is enough for me. Anyone else seen it yet?
If you're going to see it just for the sake of seeing Ben Foster, you might be a little disappointed. His role is so small they could've easily left him out entirely. The slap you gave him is pretty much the extent of what you see in a nutshell. Other than seeing him as a child early-on.
Plot-wise, the movie is just... lacking. I enjoyed it, but it's nowhere near the calibre of the first two films, for story and continuity-flow.
John in T.O.
|
2011-05-09 21:51
Foster is cute, but John, above, is correct. I hadn't seen any of these movies, and knew nothing about the X-Men, but a friend asked me to go. I liked the movie, and the Jean Grey character had the right idea for using her mutant powers: peeling Hugh Jackman's clothes off (altho a little more skin would've been swell!)

As a long-time X-Geek, I really enojyed the most recent installment. I actually prefer the rationale for Phoenix/Dark Phoenix used in the movie as opposed to the Claremont era rationale, it just worked better for a movie. The cure plot is a blatantly gay allegory, as are all the X films. And, to make things even better.... more Colossus!!!!!!!

I liked the movie, but as John in T.O said...it isn't as good as the first two. But Hugh Jackman is HOT! And Multiple Man is DELISH! Mmmmm. I kind of like the boy with icee/freeze powers as well.
Augusto wrote to ask (demand?) that I Slap actor Luke Wilson. When I saw his e-mail I thought "why didn't he use the search?" But I'm the idiot - I haven't Slapped him before? How could I have missed such a sexy guy???
So, thanks to Augusto, I have pulled my head out of my ass on the Luke Wilson issue. As for what he's been in, lately it seems like he's been in everything. I especially enjoyed his turn (in only a towel - pictures after the jump) in The Family Stone. Yum yum yum!!
It's tennis season, and while I haven't Slapped perennial Bent favorite Andy Roddick I figured I'd get a couple of hotties in from this year's French Open. As I type, I'm watching Novak Djokovic play in the round of 16 (I think). Novak is the twinkish-ly hot Serbian tennis player that you've (well, I've...) never heard of before. But his official site had some nice skin shots.
And in other news, I haven't given Andy Roddick an official Slap in ages. I can't believe that - I post the occasional picture, but it's just not the same. Maybe I'll have to take care of him again soon. He's been irritating me lately, but he's hot enough that I can overlook that.
Different people all over the world take the credit loans in different creditors, just because it is simple.

Slap of the Month - Juliano Lopes
Category:
The Daily Slap
Well, it's official, Juliano Lopes is May's Slap of the Month. I don't remember so lopsided a victory in quite some time - I guess the furry Brazilians are popular??
John reminded me last night that he had requested today's Slap long ago (long long ago, actually) and I had never delivered. Honestly, I don't know why I never delivered because I find Jason Ritter completely adorkable just like John does.
So today, on the last day of our 15th college reunion (dear god, has it been that long?), I'm Slapping Jason Ritter for John. Jason's been in a number of things, the only one of which I've seen is Swimfan - and unfortunately, he wasn't the lead in that one; he's so much cuter than Jesse Bradford. Maybe he can be the victim in "Swimfan 2 - The Deep End of the Pool"??? Jason was also in a few episodes of Undressed - if you've never watched it, it's a great source for twink skin.
Oh, and I know there are more skin pics of Jason floating around out there somewhere. If you have them - or know where they are - ping me so I can post 'em. Thanks!
Update: D'oh! Augusto was kind enough to point out the most important thing about Jason - he played a gay character in HappyEndings. I've never seen it, but I seem to remember hearing about a gay kiss? I dunno - if you see it, let me know.
I don't think these pic do Jason justice -- are these the only avbl out there in the WWW? He looked cute in "Happy Endings."

Although I have always oooggggglllled this boy I'm disappointed that there aren't more "skin" pics of him. Also, it's surprising that he's not hairy like his VERY cute Dad was!!!
Due to the fact of my slight hangover this morning, I'm taking the easy way out. Jim (who sent Juliano Lopes) was kind enough to alert me to another Brazilian hottie that he characterized, if I remember correctly, as "not as hot as Juliano, but hot nonetheless". Well, I think Jim's wrong. Gilmar Rodrigues is way hotter than Juliano to me. There's something in his face I really like - and Juliano doesn't have it. To say nothing, of course, of that stunning body.
So anyway, I'm sorry to pile another Brazilian hottie on top of the last, but I figured everyone would enjoy it regardless. And Jim was kind enough to bail me out by sending this lovely collection of pictures - I don't think I could have gone on a picture hunting expedition this morning...
Rob, you silly thing. Of course you like Gilmar over Juliano. It's that something in his face....he looks like a young boy...not anywhere near the MAN that Juliano is!!!!

Why I don't (often) vote Democrat...
Category:
Politics
... part 3282379273: A Democratic candidate for governor in Georgia has reversed her position on gay marriage in Georgia.
Support a Democrat, support a Republican - I don't especially care - they are virtually indistinguishable these days. But please don't support a Democrat and tell me it's because the party is soooooooooo much better on gay issues. Individuals? Fine. But not the party.
The Republicans re-elect Bush on the strength of a get-out-the-vote campaign centered on anti-gay marriage initiatives -- a strategy that they are repeating in 2006 -- and Bush, according to new reports, is going to reverse course to push the Kabuki vote on a Federal amendment, and Bush has stacked the Federal judiciary with extreme conservatives, and . . . and . . . and, and you find a Democrat in Georgia (where gay marriage is very unpopular), who has changed her mind on a technicality, and you conclude that there is no difference between the parties on this issue.
Just more proof that "gay Republican" is not an oxymoron, it is just a plain moron.

the reason to vote dem even if they are not perfect on all gay issues is to stop bush from getting another right wing wacko on the supreme court.
do you honestly think the republican in georgia will be better for you on gay issues?

It's interesting that the people bitching about gays who don't vote Democrat can't provide a single reason why the Democrats are better on gay issues. The original comment was not that the Republicans were better, but that the DEms were no better. Bush and his crew are assholes, extremists, and incompetents, but the Democrats are still in the minority because they haven't demostrated that they're prepared to govern and they haven't gotten their shit together. If you're pro-Democrat, fine fine, but provide a reason why the rest of us should be. More gays were dismissed from the military under Bill Clinton than under any previous President in peacetime. Bill Clinton advised John Kerry to endorse all of the 2004 state constitutional amendments to ban gay marriage. The Republican record re: gays is piss-poor overall, though there are numerous individual Republicans, like Weld and Guiliani, whose records are better than their party's. There are numerous individual Democrats with excellent pro-gay records, but the overall record of their party is no better than the GOPs. A voter is like a consumer. If a consumer mindlessly shops at the same store, the holder of that monopoly has zero incentive to offer competitive prices, selections, service. The consumer who shops around gets a better deal. If you want a look at what results from voting overwhelimingly for the same party over and over, no matter how often it lets you down, take a good hard look at the state of black community after decades of Democrat monopoly. Look at how much progress has (not) been made. Look at the new opportunities that have (not) arisen. And you tell me again how mindless monopoly voting is good for a community. The Dems know that black vote isn't going anywhere, so they don't give a shit. And I'm supposed to want to go down that same road?

I read today where there is a democrat senator (Nelson from Nebraska) who supports the gay-bashing amendment. Geez--the two parties are exactly the same!

I would suggest that voting Democratic tends to stave off the Christian fundamentalists gaining more power in the federal and state governments. While it may be true that Clinton advised endorsement of anti-gay marriage amendments, I would think that this maneuver is nothing more than a politcal ploy designed to prevent the Republicans from using it as a campaign issue against Democrats. While they are not totally accepting of gays, I think that Democrats will at least give gay people a fair hearing, and it should be pointed out, they have usually included a "gay rights" clause in their platform, and they have made usually a generalized statement about trying to understand different groups of people--a step in the correct direction. Now I don't believe that Republicans have ever done any of the above mentioned things. Remember: it took blacks at least 100 years to attain the civil rights that they have, and this success took much fund raising ( something that is not pointed out about the movement that Rev. Martin Luther King headed--tremendous fund raising occurred, lots of money was spent), and a constant drive to organize, organize, organize.
While I agree that the Democratic Party is not the best place for gays, it seems to me that it has to do for now. I understand how hypocritical politicians can be, and I understand how frustrating slow change is, but I do not believe that this condition is justification for Mugwumpery--first coined by Theodore Roosevelt, a reformist Republican by the way, who used the term to describe people who found politics just too dirty and imperfect to participate in. By education and a constant, firm pushing we shall someday be "free at last."
Whew! I managed to round up a nice high-speed Wi-Fi connection at my current stop. And it's been raining (augh!!!), so I haven't been able to do a lot else. And I didn't want to make my peeps wait until Monday to vote for Slap of the Month, since I think it's going to be a heated contest this month! There were a lot of people rallying around Ryan Kwanten early in the month and the pile-on for Juliano Lopes on Wednesday was amazing. There was also the first (and definitely not the last) mystery Slap (David Guillo), and some excellent repeats (Matthew Davis) and some HOT first-timers (Mike Vogel).
Unfortunately, I missed a day or two because of my obnoxious travel schedule, but I think there's a great selection regardless. I tried to include a decent amount of fur - and that's actually my personal inclination, but Hollywood is so uncooperative! - and there are, of course, some nice twinks too!
Today's Slap is All My Children hunk Justin Bruening, who plays... You know, it's really surprising that I don't watch more soaps - the guys are so reliable about taking off their shirts. And I work at home most days, so I could have them on. But I never seem to remember to tune in - Passions is the occasional exception.
Anyway, here's Justin - not as cute as former Slap (and former Aquaman??) Justin Hartley - but still damn fine.
Yup, I'm on the road again. I'm hoping to have a few minutes free this evening to catch up on my posting, including the Slap of the Month. But I don't know if I'll have WiFi or not - and I still haven't picked up my Sprint Mobile Broadband card. But soon - right after my Treo 700p!
So check for Slap of the Month later today, but at the latest tomorrow - I hope...
Following my investigation, millions of persons in the world receive the loan at good creditors. So, there's good chances to receive a sba loan in every country.
