    Not that Brad Pitt and Tom Jane aren't dead sexy, but at least give Elizabeth Hurley the same treatment.

  3. Topless women on this site is a good idea. i kinda set the precedent the other day with my florida panters video. so the BOWC supports bottomless beers and topless women. And bottomless women, but not topless beers because that would not be possible.

    could we hire joe pesci to play gary bettman?
