Beckham Ad Inspires Rise in Briefs —Sales
Selfridges, the UK chain of department stores, is reporting that since the David Beckham Emporio Armani underwear photo hit the internet, the retailer has witnessed a 50% increase in sales of similar tighty-whities.
According to the Manchester Evening News, "They are currently outselling boxer shorts by two to one. Demand for the entire Emporio Armani underwear range was also up 30 per cent. Director of menswear David Walker-Smith said: 'David Beckham is a global style icon, appealing equally to men and women. Where he goes, fashion is bound to follow, so briefs are the big story for underwear.'"

See! It worked. Now, back to Hillary and Barack and giving up the 2008 Election to a disarrayed, pathetic, even spooky Republican Party.

Becks is so hot. I'd let him fist me on Christmas morning.

Crispy,
after that remark, don't you or any of y'all ever act condescending towards sweet JORDAN again. Don't y'all dare! Honestly, Crispy, you do that and your digestive system will be messed up all Christmas Day. You won't enjoy your Christmas dinner. Honestly.
But with his athletic skills maybe JORDAN could...well, oh, never mind.

someone here has an infatuation with miss "superficial" jordan. but, that makes no never mind. it seems, however, that someone is speaking from experience as far as fisting is concerned. but, please, don't lump jordan detracters with crispy and his proclivities. there is a disconnect as wide as the grand canyon (insert your own joke here.) between sexual activity and silliness.

NIC, no. I'm not that adventurous. You could pour a whole fifth of Old Grandad down my throat (plus Reggie Bush) and the answer is still, no. I'm just going by common knowledge of the human anatomy, chile. Do you realize how evil emergency room personnel can be when they find out you're being admitted because of such adventurous activity--on Christmas Day! No.

DERRICK,
i think i'm interwebsly infatuated w/u. ha!

I'm sorry, but I just can't jump on the Beckham-is-so-hot-we-could-lick-him bandwagon. Hell, I don't even think he's that good looking. (He does have a great body, though).
Now, for the other guys frequently on here, such as both football bradies (of the Tom and Mr. Quinn variety), it's a different story.
