Sydney based street artists Teazer, Numskull and Roach painted a massive three-piece mural on wall in Camperdown, Australia only to have it completely painted over shortly after.

Not long after their work was essentially erased, someone (possibly one of them) came along and made their own contribution to the nude wall.

The first bombing was nice but I’m partial to the simplicity of the finished green-on-tan color combination.

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?”

AskMen’s formula ranked the best cities for men to live, work and socialize in, based on data like the quality of green spaces, guaranteed vacation days, unemployment rate, culinary scene and ratio of single, educated women. Topping 2010′s list were cities like New York, Tokyo and London, which offer job growth alongside the opportunity to enjoy the spoils through constant new openings and a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Working as a copywriter for Esquire, he left in January 1952 after being denied a $5 raise. In 1953, he lent his furniture for $600 and raised $8,000 from 45 investors – including $1,000 from his mother, “Not because she believed in the venture,” he told E! in 2006. “But because she believed in her son” – to launch Playboy, which was initially going to be called Stag Party. The undated first issue, published in December 1953, featured Marilyn Monroe from her 1949 nude calendar shoot.

The rest is history.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa�287 bikini-wearing South African women paraded down 1,690 meters of Melrose Arch Boulevard-setting the new world record for the Largest Bikini Parade.

With high spirits the women led by SABC1�s Live presenter Bonang Matheba celebrated their femininity by making a difference in creating awareness for breast cancer in South Africa, as Special K� made a donation to the non-profit breast cancer awareness group, Pink Link.

What better way to get a couple-hundred beautiful bikini-clad women over to your house than a record breaking breast cancer parade? You know the boob-march ends in the backyard of the Kellogg’s CEO.

Some day I’m going to throw a bikini parade with 288 almost naked women in the name of testicular cancer, and that parade will end in my backyard.

And it won’t end there…

Los Angeles, California (October 6, 2009) – AskMen.com the world’s largest lifestyle portal for men with more than 11 million visitors monthly, revealed its highly anticipated 4th annual reader-voted list of the Top 49 Most Influential Men of 2009 today.

The list assembles a diverse collection of men from around the world and from a variety of industries including entertainment, politics, technology, and sports. All the honorees had a direct effect on the way men see the world, and notably in 2009, many reflect classic values that are most meaningful to the male identity today.

“In a turbulent 2009, men are seeking the stability of tradition in the masculine qualities that they imagine their fathers and grandfathers to have had,” says James Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen.com. “The character of Don Draper brings all these traits together, and in doing so speaks directly to the modern man. He’s a man whose time has come.”

Others on the list embody a host of classic qualities; Usain Bolt as the personification of competitive and athletic ability, President Barack Obama asthe male portrait of classic statesmanship, Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs as pillars of entrepreneurial spirit and determination.

For the complete list of 2009′s most influential men head on over to AskMen.

Without giving too much away, the story centers around three friends Tucker (Matt Czuchry), Drew (Jesse Bradford), and Dan (Geoff Stults) who set off to the holy grail of strip clubs to give the soon-to-be groom, Dan, a bachelor party before he exchanges vows with his adorable fiance Kristy (Keri Lynn Pratt).

Jesse Bradford absolutely stole the show. Drew’s constant barrage of one-liners reminded me of a nerdy, woman-hating Don Rickles. His quick wit is matched only by stripper Lara (Marika Dominczyk) who seems to be the only one to effectively put him in his place.

Czuchry and Stults equally delivered with their performances, the latter carefully acting to counter-balance the former’s raging narcissism. Though most college men wish they could be Tucker, more probably identify with Dan who manages to have fun while being in monogamous relationship.

What I soon learned was that critics who had reviewed the film neglected the most important part of the viewing experience. Was the film funny? Absolutely and undeniably. It accomplished what it set out to do: make the audience hurt with laughter, rarely leaving time for them to breathe.

Max has already caught the attention of feminist groups on his premiere tour. The ironic part about their insistence to protest a film they haven’t seen is that their viewpoint of Max is clearly articulated and framed within the narrative. Many of the female characters reject and call out Tucker for being a misogynist asshole. Two in particular get their sweet revenge, leading to one of the most epic shit scenes in film history (an oft-ignored cinematic staple).

The one disappointing aspect of the premiere experience was the question and answer session. Some of questions had to be among the worst on tour (“Do you get emails about Tucker Max death mix?” “Can you re-enact the Tucker/Slingblade dialog from the book?” “Can we see your ass?”… asked by a dude). Luckily M.C. Bill Dawes was able to save the sinking ship by humorously deflecting the lame requests.

I wanted to hear Tucker expand more on the unique approach to making and releasing the film. Few times has an independent film with broad comic appeal seen wide release and even fewer have seen box office success. The fact that he’s opted not to go the traditional distribution route but instead chosen to self-release makes it all the more remarkable. But make no mistake, if Tucker is successful in his approach, he could be to film what Trent Reznor is to the music industry.

Tucker and Nils mentioned that they had plans for sequels with everyone in the cast signed on with the exception of Bradford. I can’t really blame Jesse though, his role made the film and he’s going to be looking for a huge payday after the final box office receipts have been tallied. He’d be worth every penny.

Additional highlights include:

-Drew Curtis of Fark referencing the Glenn Beck 1990 rape joke of which a handful in the crowd got.

-Mark Ebner’s catcalls from the press gallery.

-An Armenian apologizing for the existence of Glendale. Long overdue, I might add.

If you’ve been to Vegas but have never been to the Hard Rock Hotel to party at Rehab, you haven’t really seen Vegas.

You’ve been called on by prostitutes roaming the strip, you’ve puked down the straw of your 80 oz. margarita filled guitar and woke up at 6 am. next to a blond and an empty bottle of Don Julio at the Bellagio pool despite your engagement to an unhappy woman waiting for you to come home to your room at Mandalay Bay, but unless you have gone to Rehab, you haven’t seen the scantily-clad women and the excessive debauchery that make the Hard Rock pool on Sundays the greatest party in Las Vegas.

If you are this unlucky person who is yet to attend the hottest party on the strip, you’re in luck because TruTV is bringing the sex, the booze, the fights and the babes of Rehab directly to your television set every Tuesday at 10p/9c – and the best part… no hangovers.

Because your sorry ass can’t afford a flight out to the shining city, trvTV’s Rehab is your chance to live vicariously through the lucky guys who are getting the sexy tail you should be getting too. And no, this isn’t your scripted reality MTV-The-Hills-Of Lagunaport-Harbor b.s. this is real life television where the camera crew follows and records the sexy action as opposed to creating the action.

This is the real deal. Check it out below.

Does Rehab sound appetizing? Join the sweepstakes to win a chance to party like a rock star at Rehab at the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino pool. You can enter by clicking here.

Remember that worthless I’m Rich iPhone app that cost $1,000 and did absolutely nothing? Well this app, appropriately called Wobble, does $1,000 worth of good, but at just 99 cents, costs about 1000-times less.

Take a photo (preferably, as the Aussie narrator who sounds strikingly similar to Jemaine from Flight of the Concords notes, of a woman’s breasts), add as many wobblers as you need (the more women, the more wobblers needed), shake it up, and your pictures will be wobbling away in no time.

Wondrich takes Colbert back to the Great Depression and mixes The Original Daiquiri – consisting of (smuggled) Cuban rum, sugar, and the juice of half a lime, shaken over ice.

Next on the menu, Wondrich blends a Civil War era drink made with whiskey, bitters, sugar, and a hint of lime – which Stephen suggests could have possibly been the cause of the war.

Finally, Wondrich unveils the greatest Colbert Bump of all time – The Colbert Bump Cocktail –  a special blend of cherry liqueur (cherry brandy), a few “liberal” pours of good ole’ Republican gin, and lemon juice (to keep away the scurvy). It may not be the manliest drink at the bar (could also be called the cherry blossom?), but if you order The Colbert Bump the next time you’re at the bar, you will undoubtedly get laid – I promise (you just might have to cross the tracks and head to West Hollywood to do so).
