We Want To Vault This Guy’s Pole

There are good ways to get attention and there are bad ways, but the way that invovles nudity is always good. Especially if you are a hot French athlete in need of sponsors.

When Nike dropped him, Romain Mesnil decided to get some attention and some new sponsors by posting this YouTube video of him running naked through the streets of Paris. How do you say, "Run over to our house" in French? The video seems to be going viral (at least with lovers of the, ahem, male form) and we're sure that Mesnil will have a sponsor in no time, even if it's like a gay underwear brand or Trojan (hey, the man specializes in poles). Maybe he'll even get on the cover of French Vogue, after all, he does have some sexy modeling shots up on his website.

Hell, if Roman needs a sponsor, Fleshbot will come to his aid. He's going to have to get our logo tattooed on that splendid ass of his and compete wearing the same outfit he wore running around Paris. It may not be regulation, but we have a feeling we'll get plenty of hits from that placement.
