So have you seen the new Hanes commercial? Nothing special, really, just a bunch of guys standing around playing dodgeball. Just a bunch of really hot guys, playing dodgeball. In their underwear. Tight underwear. And most of them are shirtless too.
Does it make any sense? Nah. Do I care? Not a bit! But it is possibly the most homoerotic 30 seconds you will see anywhere this side of "Brokeback Mountain."

The link to the Hanes commercial is instead downloading Bill Maher.

Sorry, must be those anti-malaria pills I'm still taking. Should be fixed now.

See, I just knew that commercial was really about the "comfortsoft waistband." I mean, that's what we were all looking at, right?

Once again, I repeat myself...WHERE'S THE HAIR?

NDT:
Didn't you get the memo: Men don't have hair, all fat or ugly Frenchwomen have been deported to Poland, and Morgan Freeman has more gravitas than God.
Posted by: Craig Ranapia | March 06, 2006 at 01:02 PM
Hey NDT it takes all kinds! Some like smooth and some like it hairy. I like a guy with just enough hair in just the right places :-) It's a balancing act - too much and it's Sasquatch, too little and it's a mannequin.

Craig,
Well Morgan Freeman DOES have more gravitas than God.
peace

Y'all see that commercial for Universal Studios Orlando with the biker guy with hairy shoulders riding a bicycle with E.T. in the basket? I throw up a little in my mouth everytime I see that.
Posted by: Malcontent | March 06, 2006 at 02:02 PM
You know, I always visualized God as looking (and sounding) a bit like Morgan Freeman....or maybe James Earl Jones.
Craig, I would, but someone keeps deleting me from the General Gay Knowledge and Designing Hints distribution list. :)
QC, I would agree.....but I think my spectrum of hair tolerance is a bit wider than yours.
And Mal....don't knock it until you try it. (grin)

Exactly.

seriously, though, WTF is this commercial? it's pointlessly homoerotic. hot men in underwear playing dodgeball? it's as bad as topless young girls having a pillowfight for straight guys. wait, i think i just answered my own question.

Aatom:
I know more than a few lesbians who'd drink poo-flavoured dioxin if it was advertised by topless girls having a pillow fight.:) What is the erotic fascination of pillows?

James:
I'll show you gravitas.
Posted by: God | March 06, 2006 at 04:12 PM
Oh shit! God's here. Everyone look busy!
Posted by: Queer Conservative | March 06, 2006 at 08:06 PM
God,
You promise?!?!?! How big is your gravitas cause I'm a size queen!!!
:-)
peace
Posted by: James | March 06, 2006 at 08:13 PM
Damn! I didn't know they were already my commercial.
Posted by: Patrick | March 06, 2006 at 10:39 PM
There should be a "showing" between already and my. Oh, forget it.
Posted by: Patrick | March 06, 2006 at 10:41 PM
mmmm....poo-flavoured dioxin.
Posted by: Aatom | March 07, 2006 at 11:56 AM
Yay!!!!!!
Posted by: LikeOMGFab | March 08, 2006 at 09:21 AM
What guys play dodge ball in there underwear? I luv to play with them. A good pillow fight would have been easier to believe. I'd like to have gotten in on that!!!

i enjoy watching underwear commercials while at work
Posted by: Big Weiner | April 03, 2006 at 05:34 PM
This commercial targets two demographics perfectly, gay men and women. Because if a straight white male has new underwear, his wife bought it for him.
