111 men enter Abercrombie & Fitch's Fifth Avenue store and, at a prearranged time, remove their shirts.

Comic genius.

Also, pretty hot. :)

A little less cool than the Abercrombie thing, in that it's not _intended_ as social commentary. On the other hand, the not-so-veiled homoeroticism of the dancing cowboy iceskaters is pretty hilarious, especially since many of those involved seem to be fooling themselves into thinking that this is all about being heterosexually appealing. (Though guys prancing around in order to be appealing to women is in and of itself a little bit queer, I guess.)

I can appreciate their athleticism a lot - one of my favorite things about watching all-male dance numbers (like the barn-raising in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, as misogynistic as that story is, or the crap-shooting dance in the 1990's Broadway production of Guys and Dolls...)

the skating cowboys?... not active social commentary... not intentionally anyway
