		<description><![CDATA[We found a new batch of old cards featuring pro ballplayers making us laugh without necessarily meaning to.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-27465" title="dickwiggler" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dickwiggler.jpg" alt="ModernMan.com Baseball Cards" width="189" height="266" />Last year we dug up <a href="http://www.modernman.com/12-hilarious-old-baseball-cards/" target="_blank">12 hilarious old baseball cards</a> that made us laugh for a variety of reasons: ridiculously named players, subtle vulgarity hidden in the photos, astonishingly ugly dudes. And since there are no shortage of baseball cards to choose from, we decided to come up with another batch this year.</p>
<p>We found more silly names and ugly dudes, but this time around we also uncovered sombreros, Zack-Morris cell phones, and a joke that was funny to everyone except fans of the Chicago Bulls.<img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27444" title="Old Baseball Cards " src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Unknown.jpeg" alt="ModernMan.com" width="350" height="494" /></p>
<p><strong>We actually kind of dig the Elvis glasses, but are those caps on his teeth? Baba Booey! Baba Booey! </strong><img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></p>
<p><img title="Mr. Handsome" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Unknown-41.jpeg" alt="ModernMan.com Baseball Cards" width="350" height="486" /></p>
<p><strong>Eat your heart out, <a href="http://www.modernman.com/9-reasons-to-watch-baseball-this-season/" target="_blank">Jamie Moyer</a> — Don Mossi apparently pitched until he was 73 years old.<img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></strong></p>
<p><img title="Zack Morris Phone" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Unknown-71.jpeg" alt="ModernMan.com Baseball Cards" width="350" height="492" /></p>
<p><strong>If you ever wondered who Zack Morris was <a href="http://www.modernman.com/someone-you-know-is-a-nomophobe/" target="_blank">on the phone</a> with on &#8220;Saved by the Bell,&#8221; now you know.<img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></strong></p>
<p><img title="Baba Booey Teeth" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Unknown-111.jpeg" alt="ModernMan.com Baseball Cards" width="350" height="481" /></p>
<p><strong>Nice try, &#8220;Randy McCament&#8221; — we know you&#8217;re just Greg Minton without the Elvis glasses.</strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[The new film <i>Mansome</i> addresses the increasing preoccupation men have with their own looks. But really, all that matters is what women think.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27366" title="Mansome" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mansome-510.jpg" alt="Grooming Women Want" width="510" height="334" /></p>
<p>The slightly unsettling term “manscaping” has been around for a while, and it&#8217;s no secret that women prefer it when dudes keep certain body hair in check (no one wants to see a luxurious coif shooting out of your nose, pal). But these days, guys are worrying about their grooming habits more than ever. The <em>New York Times</em> recently reported on the rising number of dudes getting bikini waxes, and the new movie <em>Mansome</em> is about how much more dudes are paying attention to their looks.</p>
<p>But how much is too much? The thought of getting waxed alongside my boyfriend really, <em>really</em> grosses me out — so that&#8217;s too much for me. In fact, I think the best way to define &#8220;too much&#8221; is by asking women for their opinions; after all, you don&#8217;t worry about the hair on yours shoulders because you think your bros will be grossed out by it. So I asked women to weight in. Read on to find out which parts of your body you should maintain and which ones you should leave well enough alone.</p>
<p><strong>YOUR BACK</strong><br />
If there’s enough fuzz back there for her to hold onto, the general consensus amongst womankind appears to be, &#8220;Ew!&#8221; That said, it would also be wise to keep your appointment with Svetlana the Waxist under wraps. “If a dude has a grody, hairy back, I’d want him to take care of it, but I wouldn&#8217;t want to actually know that he waxes it,” says Karen, one of the many chicks I talked to about this very subject. You know how you’d prefer women didn’t burp or fart around you to maintain the illusion that we’re all a bunch of gasless fembots? We don&#8217;t want to know you get your back waxed to maintain the illusion that you&#8217;re a rough-and-tumble mountain man … who just happens to have a hairless back.</p>
<p><strong>YOUR CHEST</strong><br />
The feminization of dudes seems like it&#8217;s at an all time high right now — you guys are downward dogging next to us in yoga class and flanking us in the pedicure chair. And while we appreciate a zen dude with not-nasty feet, at the end of the day, we still want to feel like we’re crawling into bed with a <em>man</em>. And chest hair is the ultimate indicator of manhood. “As long as it’s not a magic carpet, I like the feeling of a little hair against my cheek when I rest my head on a man’s bare chest,” says Erica. So don’t let Svetlana near your pecs, and if you require a little tidying, use trimmers to tame the beast.</p>
<p><strong>YOUR PACKAGE</strong><br />
Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you Brazilian waxes are awful. (My waxist gives me a hug to try and comfort me at the end of my appointments, no lie.) So as much as I would like to even the playing field and have you suffer as well, the truth is that women <em>not</em> in porn flicks usually find it extremely disturbing when a dude&#8217;s area is completely bald. “Shaving or waxing the pubes completely is unacceptable,” says Allison. “It makes me think he’s trying too hard or is a weirdo who loves staring at his naked crotch.” However, wild bush is just as unacceptable, so use trimmers or a scissors — just be careful with that thing — to keep the jewels neat and trim.</p>
<p><strong>YOUR FACE</strong><br />
There is a reason Bradley Cooper did a whole lot of nothing for us in <em>Wedding Crashers</em>, then invaded our dreams after the <em>Hangover </em>— dude was rocking some seriously sexy facial scruff when he hung out with the Wolfpack. “My fiancé has to shave during the week for work, but he takes a break from it on the weekends.” says Jennifer. “By Sunday night I want to jump him.” Full-blown Zach Galifianakis beard is more of an acquired taste, but a two- or three-day-old stubble is the ultimate lady-nip.</p>
<p><strong>YOUR ARMS AND LEGS</strong><br />
“I would find it very, very odd if a guy waxed his arms and legs and wasn’t a cyclist or a swimmer,” Mary tells me. And even then, it&#8217;d be kind of odd. So unless you&#8217;re competing in London this summer, don&#8217;t do it.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're looking for an alternative to walking but are scared of the lightening-quick Segway, Honda's new Uni-Cub may be the machine for you.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-27535" href="http://www.modernman.com/yet-another-way-to-be-despicably-lazy/uni-cub/"><img class="size-full wp-image-27535 alignnone" title="Uni-Cub" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Uni-Cub.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="344" /></a></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-27535" href="http://www.modernman.com/yet-another-way-to-be-despicably-lazy/uni-cub/"></a>Ever since Segway company owner Jimi &#8220;Don&#8217;t Call Me Hendrix&#8221; Heselden plunged to his death when he drove his own Segway off a cliff, personal mobility device makers have been racing to invent the next big thing in going to great lengths to avoid walking. Well, Honda&#8217;s new Uni-Cub may have just shot into the lead … okay, maybe not &#8220;shot&#8221; into the lead. Let&#8217;s say it meandered into the lead.</p>
<p>The Uni-Cub, much like the Segway, allows a rider to control it by shifting his or her body weight. Unlike the Segway, the Uni-Cub is sleek and quiet enough to navigate the tomb-like hallways of any office park building. Plus, Uni-Cub riders aren&#8217;t forced to burn valuable calories &#8220;standing up&#8221; as they are on Segways; instead, they sit on the ergonomic Uni-Cub. According to Honda, this configuration &#8220;promotes harmony between the rider and others, letting the rider travel freely and comfortably inside facilities among moving people.&#8221; The device also boasts a fancy Omni Traction Drive System, which allows a rider to not only to move forwards and backwards, but side to side as well. Sort of like walking!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re eager to be sitting down 95 percent of the time instead of your usual 90, we have bad news — the Uni-Cub isn&#8217;t yet available to the general public (Honda is going to begin testing the device in Japan). In the meantime, you&#8217;ll just have to use your legs like a sucker.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How do you taste wine at a restaurant without looking like a jackass? How much do you need to pay? Is wine from a box okay? We've got the answers for you.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27420" title="wine510c" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/wine510c.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="300" /></p>
<p>Even if you’re not a wine drinker, wine is one of those things — like <a href="http://www.modernman.com/what-guys-should-know-about-beer-2/" target="_blank">beer</a> and <a href="http://www.modernman.com/what-men-should-know-about-cheese/" target="_blank">cheese</a> — that you should know a thing or two about. Now, we’re not suggesting you need to go get a sommelier certification (or look up what sommelier means), but knowing some basic info can pay huge dividends when it comes to looking good while out on a date or while <a href="http://www.modernman.com/guy-recipes-gnocchi-zucchini-parsley-brown-butter/" target="_blank">cooking dinner for a date</a>.</p>
<p><strong>#1: Drinking Wine Is Good For You …</strong><br />
The antioxidants in wine help the cardiovascular system, and the flavonoids — they&#8217;re organic compounds found in the skin and seeds of grapes — reduce your risk of heart disease. Studies have also shown that red wine may inhibit certain cancers and assist in the treatment for neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.</p>
<p><strong><strong>#2: … </strong>If You Drink It In Moderation.</strong><br />
What&#8217;s moderation? Two glasses per day for men, one glass for women. One glass of wine is defined as 5 ounces. Another benefit: Moderate wine drinkers were also shown to have a 23 percent reduction in risk of mental decline when compared to lame teetotalers.</p>
<p><strong><strong>#3: </strong>Wine Has Its Own Lingo.<br />
</strong>Thumbing through a wine glossary is as tiresome as thumbing through a … um, regular glossary. So we made it easy for you; use these words when you need to describe what you&#8217;re drinking:<strong><br />
</strong> <strong>Big: </strong>Rich taste, high in alcohol<br />
<strong>Dry: </strong>It&#8217;s not sweet at all<br />
<strong>Balanced: </strong>No one flavor sticks out<br />
<strong>Grassy: </strong>Tastes kinda like, yep, grass. Common in Sauvignon Blanc.<br />
<strong>Hard:</strong> A high-acidity level that may lead to a dry mouth and a feeling like your chest has caught fire<br />
<strong>Austere: </strong>No fruity flavors that you can detect</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We sat down with the <i>Community</i> star to talk about Chevy Chase's voicemails, how to stay married in Hollywood, and Alison Brie (obviously).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27416" title="Joel McHale" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Joel-McHale-main.jpg" alt="Joel McHale" width="510" height="340" /></p>
<p>There are few shows on TV that have enjoyed a more enthusiastic fan base and a less certain future than NBC&#8217;s <em>Community</em>. But the network just ordered another season — though the show will be moved to Fridays next fall — which means we&#8217;ll be lucky enough to see more of Alison Brie. Er, and Joel McHale! The hilarious star of <em>Community</em>, host of <em>The Soup</em>, and former tight end for the Washington Huskies sat down with us to discuss his favorite episodes, the Chevy Chase voicemail debacle, and of course, Alison Brie. Have we mentioned Alison Brie?</p>
<p><strong>You’re an actor, a television host, and no doubt a kick-ass flag football player. Have you ever lobbied for the nickname “Triple Threat”?</strong><br />
Just from a couple of girlfriends. No, no one&#8217;s ever called me triple threat, and you&#8217;d know why if you saw me play football. If you were to ask any other player, they wouldn&#8217;t see me as much of a threat. I was really good at being tackled. I made the defense look great. They felt very confident.</p>
<p><strong>Compared to other shows, people seem to be especially passionate about having a specific favorite episode of Community. What’s your favorite?</strong><br />
I think the <em>Cheers</em> episode where Carla bought the house by the airport. No, my favorite episode … that&#8217;s hard to say. The one that pops into mind from this year is the <em>Glee</em> take-off episode ["Regional Holiday Music"]. Also, &#8220;Remedial Chaos Theory&#8221; was really fun. And the <em>Apocalypse Now</em> ["Documentary Filmmaking: Redux"] episode with Jim turning into Kurtz from <em>Heart of Darkness</em>. Yeah, so I named three. If I had to pick I&#8217;d say &#8220;Remedial Chaos Theory.&#8221; I love watching that episode. I love looking at myself.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-27409" title="Allison Brie" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Allison-Brie.jpg" alt="Allison Brie" width="250" height="236" />Who does the Internet love more: You, or Alison Brie?</strong><br />
Oh boy, I think Alison by a mile. I mean, look at her. She has a <em>way</em> better body.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of, you played tight end for Washington, but you look like you’re built like a defensive back. Were you bigger in college?</strong><br />
I weighed 245 lbs. then. I&#8217;m like 190 lbs. now.</p>
<p><strong>How did you lose that bulk without getting flabby?</strong><br />
When I quit football to be an actor, everyone told me there were a <em>lot</em> of acting jobs for 245 lb. football players. Just kidding, there aren&#8217;t! So I began eating less and running because I had a lot of football player friends whose weight had turned to fat. And then I started running marathons. I ran the Los Angeles marathon and a few others. I don&#8217;t do it now because I ran too much and the patellas in my knees are worn down. That&#8217;s how I kept the weight off. Now I do pushups and I chase my kids and I just don&#8217;t eat. Believe me, I&#8217;m starving.</p>
<p><strong>Are you a vegetarian or pescetarian?<br />
</strong>I only eat hoofed animals with faces. Actually, the diet I want to start is called &#8220;You Are Going To Be on Camera In Two Weeks.&#8221; When I know that&#8217;s the case, I freak out and get in shape. When my sister-in-law said she wanted to lose weight, I told her I was going to post her picture on Twitter in two months, and that she had to be in a bikini. That actually worked.</p>
<p><strong>Sounds like the beginning of a Very Special Episode of Community …<br />
</strong>No, the very special episodes are always, like, “Dealing with Alzheimer’s.” It&#8217;d just be a terribly boring episode.</p>
<p><strong>You’ve been one of the fill-in co-hosts on Live! With Kelly. If you were asked to be the next Regis, would you be the next Regis?</strong><br />
No one will ever be Regis. Besides, I&#8217;d need to cut about three feet of my legs off. It would be hard to do with <em>Community</em>.</p>
<p><strong>In your experience, what’s been the best way to get a sitcom much-deserved attention: Putting out a consistently funny show, or leaving ill-advised voicemails?</strong><br />
There are actually four more voice mails coming out.  So that would make it a whole series. It&#8217;s going to be a book on tape.</p>
<p><strong>What did you think when Chevy Chase said the show isn&#8217;t funny?</strong><br />
He says that every day. We tell him, &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s not <em>The Karate Dog</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;ve been married for 16 years, and people always talk about the “temptations” there are in Hollywood for anyone who’s married. Do you find that’s the case?</strong><br />
No! I&#8217;m enjoying being married thoroughly. I really like my wife. I totally enjoy being around her. She&#8217;s my best friend, and she allows me to have sex with her. And I really like my kids too. So that makes it easy.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're fed up to here (*makes motion above head*) battling bumper-to-bumper traffic on your commute to work, consider making a bike your new car.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27259" title="Hide this bike from Francis." src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/bike510abc.jpg" alt="ModernMan.com Bikes for Commuters" width="510" height="300" /></p>
<p>If you can use a bicycle as daily transportation to and from work, you should. <a href="http://www.modernman.com/study-longer-commutes-create-bigger-guts/" target="_blank">You&#8217;ll be healthier</a>; <a href="http://www.modernman.com/a-budget-plan-for-guys-who-hate-budgets/" target="_blank">you&#8217;ll save money</a> on gas; and you&#8217;ll be doing your part to curb global warming (okay, so that last one is coincidental, but still …)</p>
<p>But in order to make commuting to work, uh, work, you&#8217;ll need to find the right wheels. And whether you buy new or used, the rule for bike buying is this: Spend a fraction more than you want to spend, and it will pay off. There&#8217;s very little markup in the bike business, so price is an almost exact indicator of quality. Plus, sinking a little more coin and thought into an item that&#8217;s going to spend hours padding your ass is never a bad idea.</p>
<p>That said, if going form point A to point B doesn&#8217;t involve the biking equivalent of Frogger or if you want to spend less than $200, a used bike from Craigslist or a local bike shop should work fine as long as its serviced before the maiden voyage. However, if you want to buy new and have to navigate well-traveled streets, you&#8217;ll want to consider the style-specific steeds below. We even found a good option for under $200 …<img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27308" title="Cheap, but nice..." src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/pantera510.jpg" alt="ModernMan.com Commuter Bikes" width="510" height="300" /><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00641275000P?sid=IDx20070921x00003a&amp;ci_src=14110944&amp;ci_sku=00641275000" target="_blank">Micargi Pantera</a> ($180)</strong><br />
Made to go slowly, but to do so virtually forever, the Pantera will see you semi-swiftly over short distances and, outfitted with baskets or racks, will top the pound-for-pound carrying capacity of a carpenter ant. The Pantera&#8217;s got 7 speeds, alloy hand brakes and cushy 26&#8243; wheels. Watch this thing on hills though — it&#8217;s heavier than most of the others we suggest.<img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27252" title="Better Than Pee Wee Herman's Bike" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/bike510.jpg" alt="Commuter Folding Bike ModernMan.com" width="510" height="300" /><br />
<strong><a href="http://www.moolka.com/jzv/prod?o=froogle&amp;prodId=32472" target="_blank">Kettler Verso Cologne</a> ($360)</strong><br />
Light and durable, and foldable for easy storage, the Verso Cologne is an affordable yet stylish option to get you to work on time. With 20-inch wheels and an upright cockpit, you won’t be winning any races on this pieces; but the bike does have a surprisingly roomy storage area in back for your gear, a seven-speed Shimano drivetrain to see you up and down the hills, and a set of fenders that’ll keep your dry cleaning bills down. Lastly, the trusty aluminum V-brakes will prevent you from becoming some dude’s hood ornament.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27327" title="His mom must be so proud." src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/mom510.jpg" alt="Mom Gifts ModernMan.com" width="510" height="300" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.modernman.com/8-mothers-who-dont-deserve-mothers-day/" target="_blank">Some moms don&#8217;t deserve Mother&#8217;s Day gifts</a> — but yours hopefully isn&#8217;t one of them. That&#8217;s why you stress about what to get her every year. But what do you give the woman who doesn&#8217;t really <em>need</em> anything and always instructs you to get her nothing? The answer: A cool and useful gift that she&#8217;ll enjoy, but that you can also use when you visit. Selfish? A little. But we won&#8217;t tell her if you don&#8217;t.<img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/recipe-glass-cocktail-shakers/?catalogId=69&amp;cm_src=AutoRel" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-27246" title="cocktailshaker250" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cocktailshaker250.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="275" />Recipe Glass Cocktail Shaker</a> ($35)</strong><br />
Some cocktail shakers look like urns, and you don&#8217;t want to remind your mom that she&#8217;s moved one Mother&#8217;s Day closer to her last. This 1940s-inspired shaker is made from hand-blown glass and can make up to three drinks (30 oz.). And if Mom has a cabinet filled with booze but <a href="http://www.modernman.com/the-best-tv-bars-we-wish-existed/" target="_blank">your no Sam Malone</a> behind the bar, the ingredients and instructions for popular drinks like Manhattans, martinis, and gilmets are posted on the side. <img title="transparent_20px" src="../wp-content/uploads/2012/04/transparent_20px.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="20" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/molecular-gastronomy-kit-cuisine" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-27332" title="Cool with mom..." src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/kit250.jpg" alt="ModernMan.com Mom Gifts" width="250" height="168" /><strong>Molecular Gastronomy Kit</strong></a><strong> ($60)<br />
</strong>Watching your mom create those <a href="http://www.modernman.com/the-11-greatest-underdog-sports-movies-ever/6/" target="_blank">hockey puck-sized</a> burgers with green onions jutting out the sides most likely isn&#8217;t a childhood highlight — but this gift can change the way you view her — and your — cooking skills. Each kit contains all you need to turn the kitchen into a food lab: An instructional DVD with 50 recipes will help you two morph textures of juices, dressings, and sauces into liquids, and substances like honey into cubes and chocolate into spaghetti strands. It&#8217;s a cool activity to do with your mom, and a skill you can take with you to impress women later on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-27225 alignleft" title="Now your friends can't skimp on the bill." src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/billr.meapp_.png" alt="Bill App ModernMan.com" width="250" height="375" />When you <a href="http://www.modernman.com/healthy-fast-food-choices/" target="_blank">go out to eat</a> with a group of friends, there always seems to be at least one sucker who gets the shaft and ends up paying more than he should when the bill is settled. And we&#8217;re guessing you&#8217;re usually that sucker. (We certainly are.)</p>
<p><a href="http://billr.me/" target="_blank">Billr</a> ($1) is an easy-to-use iPhone app that&#8217;ll hold the assho!e who ordered filet mignon and tried to pass it off like he got a garden salad when the check comes accountable. All you do is input the names of the people in your party, the cost of each dish, and select amounts for the <a href="http://www.modernman.com/why-wesley-snipes-is-an-unlucky-tax-cheat/" target="_blank">tax</a> and <a href="http://www.modernman.com/how-much-should-you-tip/" target="_blank">tip</a>. The app enables you to divide the bill with up to 16 people, and when the totals have been calculated, you can either pass your phone around to show what everyone owes, or send them a text or email with a copy of the split bill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27193" title="&quot;Did someone order some milk?&quot;" src="http://cdn.modernman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/zackmiri510.jpg" alt="Porn Cities ModernMan.com" width="444" height="300" /></p>
<p>If Zack and Miri were going to make another porno film, they might consider staging the release party in Orlando, Florida, according to stats provided by <a href="http://www.menshealth.com/health/smut-census" target="_blank">Men&#8217;s Health</a> magazine. That&#8217;s because the city where Mickey and Minnie Mouse entertain millions of kids each year actually beat <del>off</del> out <a href="http://www.modernman.com/las-vegas-nightclubs-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank">Las Vegas</a> (which was second) and Los Angeles, where most skin flicks are filmed, for the most porn-obsessed city in the nation. (Fun fact: L.A. ranked — not even kidding — 69.)</p>
<p>The magazine used criteria such as the number of porn DVDs bought, rented, and streamed; the amount of adult entertainment stores per city; the rate of porn searches on Google; and the number of subscribers to Cinemax, which shows softcore porn flicks during their After Dark adult programming block, to reach a conclusion. Rounding out the top ten: <strong>No. 3:</strong> Wilmington, DE, <strong>No.</strong> <strong>4:</strong> Raleigh, NC, <strong>No. 5:</strong> Charlotte, NC, <strong>No. 6:</strong> Minneapolis, MN, <strong>No. 7:</strong> Atlanta, GA, <strong>No. 8:</strong> Tampa, FL, <strong>No. 9:</strong> Anchorage, AK, and <strong>No. 10: </strong>Austin. TX.</p>
