From Matthew Stafford memorabilia giveaways to smokin’ hot pics of Marisa Miller, Axe always has something new and different to surprise their male fans and this holiday season is no different with AXE CELEBRATIONS.

AXE CELEBRATIONS is a Facebook application that allows you to send special messages to friends on the most important dates of the year.

The great thing about the app is that users can choose to receive the message at any time, or send hot messages to their friends on the days that they want to celebrate throughout the year — good thing Brett Favre didn’t get his hands on this app a few years ago.

All you have to do is click here to sign up for the Facebook App, and before you know it, you’ll be sending and receiving steamy Axe messages.

Comedian Owen Benjamin is in the process of setting a record for most airports visited in one month by a passenger. He began on November 21 in Dallas, TX and ends on December 20 in Raleigh, NC.

The trip is essentially an awesome excuse to see a whole bunch of cities, spend a whole bunch of money, give away a whole bunch of Lenovo tablets and free flights, and make fun of himself and other passengers along the way.

The best part about it? You can win one of two daily prizes: a Southwest Roundtrip Ticket or a Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Tablet just by following owen. Not only that, one lucky winner will take home all of Owen’s Rapid Rewards Points — which being at over 170,000 already means tons of free flights for you. Pretty sweet.

Below are a couple of my favorite videos from his frequently updated YouTube Channel.

I’ll be honest, when Gillette approached us a few weeks ago and offered to give away a bunch of free razors to us and our loyal readers, I had my reservations — I’m just more comfortable shaving with the broken arm of my grandfather’s parchment cutter.

However, after taking the plunge and giving the Gillette Fusion ProGlide Clallenge a shot, I’m actually liking it and using it more and more — seriously, I’m not just saying that because I have 350 free razors to give away.

But in all seriousness, this thing is more of a hybrid disposable/electric razor, in that it is extremely affordable but battery charged — meaning you can spend your extra coin on a 30-pack while still getting the same vibratingly-clean-shavingly goodness of an expensive razor.

So sign up below and get your completely free razor today and take the ProGlide Challenge — you have nothing to lose.

The other day we were given a subscription forVIPRE Antivirus software and despite our reservations about using software to protect our hardware, things ended up working out pretty damn well.

Vipre boats that unlike older antivirus programs that have bolted on antispyware or antivirus modules to their existing software, VIPRE is designed to optimize overall performance by melding antivirus and antispyware together into one, single, powerful tool. This combination of technologies gives you high performance software that doesn’t slow down your PC, is low on system resources, and makes it easy to protect your PC from the bad guys.

With its next-generation technology, VIPRE means powerful protection against today’s highly complex malware threats. No more sluggish PCs, system slowness, and resource headaches of older antivirus programs.

The people over at VIPRE were nice enough to give us a copy of their software to giveaway, so make sure you follow us on Facebook and we’ll randomly select someone who will receive a free copy.

Remember, always practice safe browsing.

The other day we were sent a voucher for a free FRESCHETTA Simply Inspired Pizza. So naturally we went down to the local beer shop (Pavilions) and picked up FRESCHETTA’s Simply Inspired Harvest Supreme pizza.

The Harvest Supreme boasts fresh-picked vegetables straight from the harvest. With hearty Italian sausage, black olives, spinach, sundried tomatoes, roasted red onions, mozzarella and feta cheese and a zesty red sauce that come together in a pizza you would expect from your favorite restaurant. Additionally, each pizza comes wrapped in a FRESCH-TASTE SEAL to keep those flavors in check.

One thing I loved about the pizza is the thin crust which allows you to really taste and appreciate the toppings, all without interfering with your ability to nominate a 12-pack of Coronas for the coveted most liquid inside of your stomach award.

Check out one of FRESCHETTA’s 8 Simply Inspired varieties at you local market and remember to check below to Like us on Facebook and be entered for a chance to win a voucher for a free FRESCHETTA pizza.

The other day we were informed of a new promotion ampm is offering called the Secret Menu. What is it you ask? The ampm secret menu is an artery clogging Eden of deliciousness wherein you are the creator of the most heart attackingly scrumptious meal concoctions.

Are you a burger fan? Why not throw a hotdog on your burger, replace the buns with two glazed donuts and dip the entire thing in a bay of steaming, all natural orange nacho cheese? This I like to call the “Death Before DishohmygodI’mhavingaheartattack!” And it kills me to say it, but it’s delicious every time.

The good people at ampm gave us the opportunity to peruse the isles of deliciousness that are ampm and come up with our own artery-popping concoction, which we like to call, Banned’s Flamin’ Hot Chili Rods.

What are these Chili Rods you’re likely wondering, and how do I make such a snack?

The meal is simple. Start with a bag of Flaming Cheetos and lay them out on a dish. Next, smother every inch of Cheeto in ampm‘s homemade chili. After that, lightly drizzle roughly one pound of smoldering, neon orange nacho cheese across the entire dish and you are good to go… straight to the emergency room.

To make your own concoctions, head on over to the official ampm facebook page and click on the secret menu tab.

Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes

Los Angeles, Calif. (July 20, 2010) – AskMen and Cosmopolitan.com recently partnered to ask the age-old questions: Is chivalry dead? And are men really from Mars and women from Venus?  As experts in their respective areas, both sites set out to discover the true differences between both genders through AskMen’s third annual The Great Male Survey and for the first time this year, The Great Female survey from Cosmopolitan.com. The survey of more than 100,000 respondents was aimed at uncovering how men and women differ when it comes to dating, sex, lifestyle, and world issues.

Highlights from this year’s Great Male and Great Female surveys include:

• Men and women have different perceptions about romance…
• Nearly 40 percent of women report that their boyfriends or husbands are “not very often”  or “never” romantic, yet 75 percent of men claim that they are romantic consistently.
• More than two times as many men than women would cheat on their partner if they could get away with it.
• Nearly half of men say they’d dump their partner if they became fat. However, only 1 in 5
• women would break up with a boyfriend or husband who gained a lot of weight.

Other finds –

• 1 in 5 men and women indicated that they would track their partner’s movements via a GPS implant if they could.
• One out of three men would completely respect their partner’s privacy online, whereas only 1 in 5 women would do the same.
• 45 percent of women don’t want their partner friending his exes on Facebook, compared with 25 percent of men who feel that it’s okay, though only if he’s met her ex before.
• Seventy-five percent of women say they peek at their ex’s profile occasionally, while 15 percent of women admit that they do it constantly.

Today’s modern man still has a traditional edge:

• More than 85 percent of men still believe in the institution of marriage, with 1 out of 3 men stating that they will not pursue a relationship unless they feel that the woman has wife potential.
• Men ranked “having a family” over a “high-profile career” as the number one status symbol for men.
• Chivalry not dead? Four out of five men believe that they should pay for all dates for the duration of the relationship or at least until it’s established, whereas less than 25 percent of women say that their partner should always pick up the bill.

“At AskMen, we have come to rely on the annual Great Male Survey for the unique perspective it affords into what modern men value and how they think of themselves. By partnering with Cosmopolitan.com, it also provided us an opportunity to better understand the female perspective as it relates to our readers,” comments James Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen. “This year’s results are especially compelling as they illustrate the definition of modern-day masculinity and how certain male and female views are shifting apart in 2010.”

A less-traditional female perspective:

• More than half of women surveyed say that they don’t feel at all pressured (by family, society, friends, etc.) to get married.
• Only 25 percent of women are completely satisfied with their sex life.  Nearly 30 percent are totally unsatisfied, with 8 percent saying they want more sex.  Another 45 percent are somewhat satisfied but feel that there is room for improvement.
• Eighty-five percent of women are comfortable being in a relationship with a man who has a lower income than they do.

“There always have been differences between women and men, but thanks to changing dynamics and technology, relationships are more complicated than ever,” says Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Kate White. “We were thrilled to work with AskMen on this survey to provide our readers with more understanding about the male mind.  It’s our goal to help readers have fun and satisfying relationships with the opposite sex, and what better way to do that than to do an in-depth investigation of what makes men tick?”
