Those homoerotic fratboy pictures sure are disgusting. They aren't available in a higher resolution where they could be blown up and say printed out in glossies somewhere could they. That way my disgust could reach its full force. Yeah, that's it. Those tight muscly gluts, trapeziuses, and abs just make me sick. And those tattoos. Man. I need to go pray for their souls.
