Playboy Heading to the Philippines…kind of

March 31, 2008 By The Guys

It was announced last week that Playboy will launch a local edition of Playboy in the Philippines this week–but the magazine will not feature any nudity. Apparently this isn’t the first time they’ve stricken nudity from their pages to satisfy local religous concerns, as one journalist said it will be “tamer than the US edition but not as tame as the Indonesian edition.”

The journalist added that the magazine would be aimed at a more mature, affluent readership than “lad magazines” such as FHM and Maxim which already have Philippine editions. Meaning that if this publication were in the US, … more>>

Ultimate Waste of Money?

March 31, 2008 By The Guys

Unlike many people, the whole Guitar Hero thing hasn’t struck a chord with us here at Manlyweb–we can’t play a real guitar, but if my choices were to try to learn Guitar Hero, or learn the real guitar, the real guitar wins every time–at least chicks might dig that.

Even our most frequent hangout, known for beer, wings, and owls, has fallen prey, recently bringing in an Xbox, and has regular Guitar Hero tournaments. We typically sit in a back corner and mock those playing, and wonder how they expect to make money from a bunch of kids who order … more>>

Beer Facts

March 26, 2008 By The Guys

I was cruising the net this morning, actually looking at some work related blogs that I regularly check out, when I came across an article called ‘15 Beer Factoids That Will Make You Look Smart.’

Being a bit of a beer connoisseur (love that MGD), I thought I’d check it out.

To be honest, I think a title of ’15 Beer Factoids That Will Make Your Friends Think You’re a Beer Snob’ or ’15 Beer Factoids that will make your Friends Want to Punch You’ would be more accurate. Or maybe ’15 Beer Factoids That Will Make Your … more>>

Misleading Headline: Britain makes camera that “sees” under clothes

March 9, 2008 By The Guys

Rueters reports that “Britain makes camera that “sees” under clothes“–turns out all of the who were excitedly getting their credit cards ready so they could check out women’s underwear like Superman, or maybe play blackjack like #2 are going to be disappointed, because it’s all about checking people for weapons.… more>>

Beer Can Chicken with a Poultry Pal

March 5, 2008 By The Guys

Well, if any of you checked out and bookmarked the Bacon Salt Blog from our post last week, you may have already seen this, but I thought since it’s been slow, I’d post it anyways.

They recently had a chance to review a product called the Poultry Pal, which is basically an advanced way to make beer can chicken.

Now, I can tell you from experience that beer can chicken is damn good eatin’. But at the same time, I’d be a little hesitant to drop almost $30 for a pan to replace what I can do right now … more>>

I Thought This Was Funny…

March 5, 2008 By The Guys

So, I think we’ve mentioned before that we get emails about movie releases, books, CDs, and new products fairly frequently. And every once in a while, we actually respond, because, well, we don’t mind free stuff.

So we responded to one a couple weeks back, mainly because they called us a valued blogger, and asked for our address to send us something. So I thought, “Finally, someone recognizes my value as a blogger,” and send along my address. And promptly forgot about it, like I usually do.

Well, yesterday, a box showed up on the doorstep. And I was curiously … more>>
