  • Bahahahahaha!
    All you people who abhor Twilight are red in the face!
    I voted for RDJ. Because YEAH. Slightly skinny with a set of abs like that = one horny pope. It's not just the young boys that please this papacy.

    It helps to not see the llama face when appreciating Lautner's abs.

    I don't know whoever said that he looked like a llama, but now I can never unsee it and it cracks me the hell up every time. THANK YOU.

    But actual six packs ick me out, so I voted for McCougnaheyheyhey. Those were nice.

    popejenn, it's not embarrassing to like Sharkboy's abs. They're a work of art. And this was a competition that depended on eliminating external factors like our dislike for Twilight, that sticky-outy brachial artery, and RDJ's awesomeness and overall superiority to the rest of the candidates.

    I'm glad I voted for Adrien Brody. The thinking man's abs.

    Damn, I was torn between A and D as being RDJ...guessed wrong.

    Also THAT was Adrien Brody? Damn. Pretty built up for someone who looks so damn bony.

    Posted by: figgy at July 10, 2010 3:34 PM

    Also also, RDJ's abs just look like tumors. Ew.

    On the Bond Cancellation post, the whole 2012-2008=6 error was fairly egregious, and I kept meaning to fix it, but the comments about it kept piling up, and I am ever so stubborn. And then I thought to myself, "I bet there are people continuously reclicking this to see if it is fixed yet." And what happens? The post makes the top ten for traffic. Every time you see a little niggling error that drives you insane, just think, it might be there just to get you to check if it's still there.

    Oh, so it's YOUR fault I have to read 20 comments correcting your mistake.

    *shakes fist in your general direction*

    I WILL GET YOU SLW!

    (I snuck in a second time and voted for Adrien Brody. Did NOT know that was him. Why isn't he shirtless more often?! DAMN.)

    (Also, I TOTALLY would have voted for OPrime, if he had been an option. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.)

    Posted by: Anna von Beaversmack at July 10, 2010 4:21 PM

    (DAMMIT. ORHYME, not OPrime. Durr.)

    Posted by: Anna von Beaversmack at July 10, 2010 4:22 PM

    NOoooooooooooooo! I did not vote form Matthew "Smells like wet bedsheets" McCumahey. No. He was they only one without veiny arms, so I voted for him by default. No fair.

    I'm completely hummaduhhumma at Adrien Brody's physique. Who knew that's what lurked below that Gonzo-like proboscis? Hey, next time..can you include Joel McHale's abs? Bod? Both? That snarky Redwood melts my Haagen Dazs.

    Posted by: AlwaysSunnyinNJ at July 11, 2010 3:03 PM

    Shit! I picked Taylor Lautner. Oh now I feel icky.

    Posted by: Carrie at July 11, 2010 3:32 PM

    Damn! I could've sworn up & down that photo A was Christian Bale. I don't know my celebrity six-packs as well as I thought. I guess it's back to Googling naked celeb photos for me!

    Totally voted for RDJ. Go me.
