2007: BEST GAY YEAR EVER!

DECEMBER: A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO "THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE"
Forget "The Year of the Child", or "The Year of Global Warming", this was really "The Year of the Really Hot Male Underwear Ad". Honestly, from David Beckham to Ryan Barry to most every episode of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, the world seemed to revolve around hot guys splayed backwards with legs apart wearing tiny swatches of cotton — not that I'm complaining mind you.

Anyway, here are few from 2007.

David Beckham versus Ryan Barry (aka Reichen Lehmkuhls' boyfriend)

Any pose you can do, I can do better!

Well, my bulge is bigger so there!

Dominic from The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.

David Beckham? I could snap him like a twig!

Djimon Hounsou for Calvin Klein.

You mean most Oscar nominees don't end up posing in their skivvies?

Steven Klein's spread for the C-IN2 brand.

I guess that whole Scared Straight think didn't work out quite as planned.

Dolce & Gabbana's Italian soccer player ad.

This is exactly what I imagine professional sports locker rooms are like. Who knew my fantasies were so close to reality!

Oh, darn! All the guys in their underwear took up so much room, I don't have any space left to write more witty, insightful observations about the year! Shoot, shoot, shoot! (Note to Brian: Our readers are pretty smart. Will they see through this cheap ploy of trying to distract them with hot, nearly naked men so I don't have to write anything for December? Be sure to get back to me before we make this live!)

IMHO — The Year in TV

Big Gay Todd! Big Gay Todd! I haven't seen this much scheming, lying, and backstabbing since the last Presidential election. Somehow it's so much more fun on Survivor.

How different my life would've had turned out had my high school counselor told me that running a fashion agency meant that when I told hot guys to get naked, they would do so unquestioningly! Curse you Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency!

With a new season of American Idol just around the corner will we get more gay-baiting of contestants like poor Sanjaya Malakar or might we finally get an out-and-proud contestant? I ain't holding my breath, that's for sure!

Now I'll shup up so you can have the BEST.GAY.YEAR.EVER!
