Tights for men a hit in Britain
British tights manufacturers say sales of sheer, patterned
and support tights for men have ballooned in recent months.
Kieran Hughes, director of the tights maker Precious
Collections, said men are increasingly saying they find
the products to be practical and comfortable additions to
their wardrobes, The Daily Telegraph reported. “I don’t
know what is going on — sales have gone mad,” Hughes
said. “In the past two months we have gone from selling
300 pairs of tights a month to men in the U.K., to selling
more than 1,000.” “German men have been wearing them for
years. More than 50 percent of German men wear tights,
including famous German football players. I can’t imagine
many footballers here doing that,” Hughes said.

Caught! ESPN drops cheaters ad
Listen up rogues: Sports channel ESPN asked its local
affiliates to stop airing an ad for a Web site that makes a
love connection with would-be cheaters. Amy Phillips, a
spokeswoman for the Disney-owned ESPN confirmed that the
sports channel has asked that its affiliates stop running
an ad for AshleyMadison.com, but wouldn’t say why, said
ABC News, also owned by Disney. Noel Biderman, the
president of AshleyMadison.com, said he thought “a double
standard” was applied to his company, ABC reported. He said
ESPN is “inundated” with ads for alcohol, which he said was
“responsible for health issues and ultimately death.”
“Somehow I’m immoral and everything else is OK,” said
Biderman, who said the company, based in Toronto, was
spending more than $1 million this summer to run the ad
on channels, including CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Fox News Channel
and Spike. For $49, AshleyMadison.com members create
profiles and send e-mails and instant messages to each
other. While AshleyMadison.com’s frequently asked questions
says the company doesn’t encourage straying, it exhorts on\
his home page: “Life is Short. Have an Affair.”

3 Pc. SILICONE BRUSH SET
Store Price: $19.99
DEAL PRICE: $7.99 for one, $11.98 for two!
==> No Dealers Please. Limit of five (5) Per order <==
Here’s an amazing deal. You get not one, not two, but
THREE Silicone Brushes. These are almost exactly like
the ones you see on TV. The difference? The price! Get
three (3) brushes for less than what you pay for one on
TV or from a store. This was a special buy we pulled off,
but we only got 1250 pieces. Once they’re gone, they are
gone for ever. This is below the manufacturer’s cost.

Naked cyclists protest oil dependence
Hundreds of nearly-nude bikers and curious onlookers have
descended on St. Louis for a 10-mile ride protesting U.S.
dependence on oil, participants said. The World Naked Bike
Ride, which has been held in about 70 cities across the
globe since 2004, came to St. Louis for the first time
Saturday night as nude and nearly-nude cyclists rode their
bikes from the city’s Tower Grove Park to the Grove
neighborhood, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Spectators said many of the riders got creative,
strategically covering up certain body parts with thongs,
pasties and body paint. Onlooker Don Biekert, 50, of
Centralia, Ill., said the ride made for an amusing
spectacle, but “this ain’t nothing like Mardi Gras.”
