Australia to Invade France and Steal Their Naked Rugby Players, Ideas

BRIAN-O-BRIEN

Just as interest in fleshy French calendar Dieux du Stade is waning Australia is putting the full-court press on their own naked rugger calendar.

The Gods of Football (way to even rip off the name, fellas) is actually three calendars, one of naked Australian Rules Football players, one of Rugby players, and one that's "international," whatever that means. Of course they can't get naked just to be narcissistic show offs, so proceeds raise money for breast cancer research. The kicker is that calendar's website that not only has profiles and additional pictures of the boys in the date book, but local rugby players from down under can send in their pics and viewers choose the hottest guy each week. Sounds like what we do on Manhunt, but less of a public health threat. The Aussies may get an F for originality, but they get an A for execution.
