OK, so this might only apply to perverted guys but there are male models as well. Check out the newest craze in the US, "Assvertising" allows advertisers to get their names on the hottest models ass and parade round the street and showing all and sundry.

16 BLOCKS

16BLOCKS.gif
Here at Coolopedia we're eagerly anticipating the release of the new Bruce Willis film. Starring Mos Def who is "regarded as one of hip-hop's most introspective and insightful artists" according to IMDB the plot is based around an aging cop (Willis), assigned the ordinary task of escorting a fast-talking witness (Def) from police custody to a courthouse. There are however forces at work trying to stop prevent them from making it.

It doesn't sound that great but US audiences have given it good reviews and my eternal source for film info, the IMDB gives it a 6.7/10.

COOL FOOD FOR HOT CHICKS

Want to eat like the stars but no idea what they eat? Here's the recipe for Melanie Sykes' Thai Beef Salad from Cool Food for Hot Chicks

INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp Thai fragrant rice
450g beef fillet, approximately 3 small steaks
4 shallots or 1/2 onion
4 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
4 spring onions
8 tbsp beef stock
4 tbsp fish sauce
juice of 1 lemon or 1 lime
1 tsp crushed dried chillies or chilli powder
2 tsp caster sugar
Salad leaves and steamed rice to serve

PREPARATION:
1. Heat a heavy based frying pan, add the rice and cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes. The grains should be an even golden brown. Grind the rice in a clean coffee grinder or pestle and mortar.
2. Pre-heat the grill to high and grill the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side close to the heat - it should be quite rare. Slice it thinly and leave to one side.

3. Chop the shallots and coriander, slice the spring onions and keep to one side.

4. Put the stock, fish sauce, lemon juice, chilli and caster sugar into a wok and bring to the boil. Add the beef and stir in the shallots, spring onions, chopped coriander and rice. Stir and heat for a few seconds only. Serve with salad and steamed rice.

PREP/COOK INFORMATION:
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2

Everyone knows that sex sells and Shai clothing has taken this principle to it's logical extreme by producing an online marketing campaign on the site sexpacking.com. Porno actors are shown wearing Shai clothing (rather briefly) whilst enjoying full on straight, gay and lesbian hardcore sex. The video features hyperlinks which open into pop ups with details of the clothing being worn.
