Dead night over at the Grind, more girls than guys. Lucy fell into the black hole known as Lucy Time and unfortunately, we had some vague plan to go see a movie, so I spent an hour staring at myself in grimy mirrors practicing some new pole moves. Bored, boring, bored. Two guys with limp one-dollar bills.

Then Jimmy came over and said, "Yo, Spice, y'wanna make some money?"  Keep Reading »

Strip clubs are a bastion for the amateur psychologist. In fact, quite a few psychology majors minor in stripping to get them through college. Freaks and geeks, from 16 to 60 -- it's a petri dish of penises. Or is that penii? Here are the usual suspects:

1. Bobby Bucks
There's a party in Bobby's lap. He's got a girl on each knee; five crowd around his dime-sized table, drinking champagne and laughing uproariously at his not very funny jokes. Other guys look at him and wonder, "What does that guy have that I don't?" Hint: it's green and it's snaking its way into the g-string of all of Bobby's girls.  Keep Reading »

So I'm on the stage. And I'm pretending the pole is the hardest, longest, most fuckable vertical dick I've ever seen. I grasp the stiff, shiny shaft, tug myself up, twirl around like I'm in orbit, undulate all over it like an eel in heat, hook my leg around the rigid column, lean over (revealing a suggestive sliver of g-string), and scan the guys.  Keep Reading »

"Sex sells" is arguably the most hackneyed cliche about the advertising industry. When the Don Drapers of Madison Avenue apply this psychological truism to the side of the road, it increases the likeliness of an fender bender. After all, who isn't distracted by a pair of double Ds hovering 20 feet above 8 lanes of rush hour traffic?

Here in the good ole' United States, folks are downright prudish about what infiltrates their public space. Billboards are often hot-button First Amendment issues, even when not necessarily obscene. Any image or message suggesting vice or considered morally unwholesome to a puritan population often stirs a tempest of controversy. For example, residents of Des Monies, Iowa, cried "bad taste" when a billboard for a gentleman's club was put up over I-90 near a Little League ball park. In 2008, a divorce lawyer in Chicago's Rush Street nightclub district hung a sign reading "Life's Short. Get a Divorce" and spawned controversy. Same story for an Ashley Madison billboard in Lalaland (Editor's Note: Ashley Madison is a BroBible advertiser). Earlier this year, a sultry Calvin Klein underwear ad depicting a sensual Eve Mendes in New York's SoHo (a block away from BroBible HQ) even twisted the panties of some Gotham residents.

Ad agencies abroad, however, aren't as reluctant to push the creative envelope. In October, a strip club in South Africa suggested "No Need for Gender Testing" along with a smoking blond. Nothing is too obscene in Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, where a bare pair of female knockers -- including full-view nip -- lathered with soap on a downtown city block is no big deal for promoting a graphic design expo. An exposed pair of fun bags was also recently used to market a Croatian brand of sausage. Even international brands like Playboy titillate with risque ways of seducing driver's eye balls in anything-goes Denmark.

In honor of Brobible's recently re-launched advertising, here's a NSFW compilation of the 35 sexiest and most scantly clad billboards from around the world.  Keep Reading »

What are the odds that a PG-13 version of Playboy TV's new series, "King of Clubs," ends up on Spike or TBS? Wouldn't the transition between "Office" reruns and this behind-the-scenes look at Palomino club in Vegas be seamless?

Best line of the clip above: "I've got some serious stripper drama going on up here." The video is SFW, btw.
