Sports Today in Rugby Thugs
posted by on February 11 at 14:26 PM
I’ve slogged previously about the ridiculous accumulation of attractiveness that is Ben Cohen, and the English rugby star continues to earn my admiration. As Towleroad reports, Cohen recently gave a short interview to Outsports, in which he shared a most enlightened view on the prospect of a gay player in British rugby:
“My impression is that it would be fine to be able to ‘come out’ in rugby. Most rugby players are cool about it and think that people should be allowed to live their lives how they want to, but I can’t speak for everyone….One of my aunties is a lesbian and lives with a female partner. We are all laid back about it because it has always been the same.”
Cohen hearts gays, and gays heart Cohen, so much they propelled him past David Beckham to the top of the Sunday Times’ gay icon list. Aw.
Speaking of gay-friendly rugby thugs, Slog tipper Skweetis directed me to the curious ad below, which scores major points for thug-on-thug mashing but is less successful hyping whatever product it’s supposed to be hyping. (I’m still not quite sure what it is.)
Hmm I was hoping for some of that Beer. Kissing rugby players is old news.
ok. that was fucking hot. i seriously thought the two girls were lesbians. but the two hot masculine tattoed rugby looking guys making out was hot and very nice surprise, especially with all of their guy friends around them lettin them be. I love the Brits. Now all they need are two hot soccer guys making out.
He kinda looks like my kid brother.
Before he blimped up and got a bunch of really inadvisable tattoos.
Hot, but I have absolutely no idea why they start making out. Are they saying that the headset had to make the two rugby guys gay in order to get them to shut up for a few minutes?
Hot. Hothothot.
And here I thought you were going to be posting this:

The shots of vodka/tequila with the beer made them loose their inhibitions and start making out. now only if that happened at the str8 bars in the u district :)
btw, i'm sure Dan is enjoying this post :)
i think it means that the headset blocks out all noise, such that when you use it -- it's as if a bunch of loud roudy rugby guys start quietly and heatedly making out instead of making so much ruckus. though it looks like they were leading up to what some might assume would become a noisy activity, if done right.
i feel all funny inside...
tingly.
I want a drunken rugby team to go around roughing up people who talk too loudly into their phones while in public (especially on busses).
I think the ad is saying the phone blocks out noise, much like two rugby players going at it would cause the entire bar to fall silent.
I think we can agree the ad is for the jawbone, which appears to be her cell phone headset.
As for what they're TRYING to imply with the rugby players, both guesses in this thread are great, but because of that it's still unclear to me the intended message.
Loved the commercial. Made no sense whatsoever, but I loved it.
