This Is Why We LOVE The French

They have such a great sense of humor!

This ad is not Photoshopped. It's real, bbs.

It's a promo for the Rugby World Cup in Paris.

We love how they can make such a funny, light-hearted ad without being overly macho.

And it's damn hot too!

      C'mon i trust this site to verify the stories on here.That's why I come back her ALL the time.
      But this ad was for last year's World Cup in France which we (South Africa) won. Incidentally, it's the Father of our Nation's Birthday today…….Yay!!! Happy BD Mr Mandela!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      If there is indeed another Rugby World Cup, it's probs the Reigning Men one.

      I will forgive the oversight and still return here for my daily fix.

      That's a fairly old ad. You should check out Towleroad.com more often. They're always on top of the LGBT news.

      HEY PEREZITO THIS PROMO IS VERY OLD !



    58. 58

      Go France!!! This is HOTTTT. Nothing like HOT rugby players kissing. Although I've always been fond of UK & Aussie players, but go France! This is a great ad, funny, lighthearted, and zexy!
      Thanks for posting Perez, I found a bigger file pic online and emailed it to my girlfriends, they'll love it too.

    59. Shaz says – reply to this


      59

      This article isn't about the "news" of the "upcoming" World Cup. The article doesn't state that the ad is new. The article is about how the French have a good sense of humor. I don't think that has anything to do with how old the pic is…
