Ben Cohen strips it off for StandUp

Has anyone else noticed that the athletes who support equal rights and are totally embracing of their gay fans are usually the ones who are just, like, crazy hot? Someone needs to do a study or something to determine whether this is correlation or causation, because this is the kind of shit we need to look into.

Anyway, rugby star Ben Cohen is releasing a new calendar to benefit StandUp, his anti-bullying foundation and . . . something. Sorry, I was just watching this video of him taking off his clothes and working out, and now I can’t remember what I was saying. Something about rugby or football or some shit? I don’t know, I just want to see his tuchus.
