What’s What: Abs, abs, and more abs

Here’s what’s trending this week:

1. Breast Men
I know, I know.  Mammograms and breast checks are the sexy beast of the medical world.  But women still aren’t doing them as regularly as they should.  So to entice women to be more regular in their self-exams, Rethink Breast Cancer has created a special app to make checking for breast cancer a bit more….fun.  Specially trained models show techniques for TLC – touching, looking, and checking.  Check it out:

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that their models have rock hard abs, smoldering looks, and are male.  They say sex sells, and it looks like it’s even true for medical purposes.  Download the “Your Man Reminder” app for free from iTunes or on the Android, and learn more at rethinkbreastcancer.com.  If you’ll excuse me now, I have some checking to do…

2. Bacon Shake
The bacon craze has taken over products like perfume, ketchup, and even beer.  Now, it’s taken over Jack in the Box.  To go along with their creepy Marry Bacon campaign, the burger joint is going hog-wild with milkshakes made with real vanilla ice cream, bacon flavored syrup, whipped topping and a maraschino cherry.  It’s so crazy, it might even be delicious.  BYO baco sprinkles for the top.

3. Princess of Power
I couldn’t quite place the look Madonna was going for when she performed her Halftime show act at the Superbowl last Sunday dressed in what looked to be the Roman Empire cheerleader goddess look.  And then God of Nerds answered that question for me.  As one commenter put it: “By the power of Gray-Hair!”

4. Dress code to genuflect on
The short plaid skirt has long been a part of Catholic School dress code as well as every dirty old man’s fantasy.  But one school is breaking from this tradition, ditching the skirt in favor of long khaki pants instead.  Seems a couple naughty Catholic girls have been rolling up the tops of their skirts to make them appear shorter, prompting St. Bernadette Catholic School in Connecticut to update next year’s uniforms to include pants instead of skirts.  The parents, however, are up in arms over the less traditional female garb, and we’re sure a couple dirty old men also agree this just isn’t holy enough.

And then, because we started the What’s What with a little man candy, we thought we’d end it that way too:

5. Where can we get those drawers?
The infamous H&M commercial – the only thing more exciting than the Puppy Bowl.  Wait, was there a football game going on too?  We didn’t notice.  David Beckham’s abs were in the way.
