    I remember reading a while back that Playboy had stopped doing nude photoshoots.

    Which kind of left me wondering what they do do, now.

    They brought them back earlier this year, saying removing nudity was a mistake.

    I'm seeing some people on Twitter point out Hefner/Playboy's role in advocating for a lot of civil rights issues, as well as for transgender rights, which is cool. And Playboy included no shortage of interviews with incredibly influential and important figures. I think Hugh's legacy is a complicated one, for sure, but he seemed to live a life well lived. I dunno.

    Hey you know what I was doing some more reading on the shit Hefner was accused to doing with his girlfriends and I take this back. That shit sucks, and I don't want to appear like I'm dismissing it.

    This essay on the matter is a doozy.

    Reading the end of this at least compasses my thoughts about certain things:
    I am not actually celebrating Hugh Hefner’s death. It’s sad when people die. By “good riddance,” I don’t mean that I take personal pleasure in his death, but that the world will be better once it rids itself of Hefner’s values. And since Hefner himself was an evangelist for those values until his last days, we are better off without him. (I felt the same way when Antonin Scalia died. I didn’t want him to die; I would have preferred that he had remained alive and simply renounced his horrible beliefs and become a good person. But he never did, so we had to settle for death.)

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    But the 90s cartoon had snake people that were sent into the next dimension.

    Look at those veins POP on his right arm.

    And he has just the right amount of stubble for his beard.

    I am surprised. Usually the joke about Overwatch butts concerns Genji's immaculately-crafted robobutt.

    I really like the 2011 Conan as a pulpy adventure flick. Jason Momoa is great and my Conan-obsessed friend considers it very true to the character past the origin.

    I want Ron Perlman to be my dad.

    in seriousness, this is one of the better takes i've seen, from one of my friends
    If we're going to choose who our heroes are as a culture we should hold them to some kind of standard other than "was famous" and "is dead now". I don't think "didn't abuse the shit out of everyone he knew" is a huge ask.

    The only thing that could lessen my attraction to Alexandra Daddario is finding out that she was a nazi or enjoyed drowning puppies.

    I mean, I'd still think she's hot but I'd feel bad about it.

    There's a story I read about the Baywatch movie.

    During filming Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron had a legit pull up contest and Johnson smoked him.

    Hell, there's a type of HGH that comes in pill form now. You can munch it with your morning toast and then go outside and fight a truck. Buff by noon.

    Surely Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson does not breach the WWE Wellness Policy?!?!?!

  • TubeTube Registered User admin
    The Rock doesn't have that weird HGH look, but I sure he's on at least a supranormal dose of TRT from his doctor and probably a lot of other shit.

    He actually wouldn't even if that was a concern

    It only applies to full-time performers so dudes that wrestle like once or twice a year are exempt, like HHH or Undertaker or whatever

    I doubt he takes anything too wild, he's not actually that huge or ripped by bodybuilder standards. He doesn't look like he takes GH, he probably isn't using diuretics, insulin or any of the weird shit. I'm guessing he takes test, something else (anavar or dianabol maybe) and something that stops the side effects of the first two. I'm not a real PED expert though. Effron probably takes clenbuterol and test.

    I'm curious, is it definitely impossible to get that large without some kind of "help"? Is his size the only indicator?

    He has really shit hot genetics, but it's mainly his age. Testosterone drops precipitously after 40, and The Rock looks better than he did when he was 20. He is on, bare minimum, testosterone replacement therapy. It's the same with Hugh Jackman, it's not the impossibility of his physique so much as it's that combined with his advanced age. Jackman, again, looked better at 45 than at 30, both bigger and more ripped.

    Effron is a little too big and too ripped but I guess is within realistic boundaries. I know natural bodybuilders where it's their entire life who don't look as good as he does, but then they don't have the best trainers in the world and people cooking all their meals.
