A new study from the National Institutes of Health has found that 10 out of 10 newborn babies greatly prefer female boobs over man boobs. The study, which looked at over 12,000 infants in labor and delivery facilities across the nation, found the results were universal and had no exceptions whatsoever. "In virtually every case, we found that babies much preferred a mother's breastmilk over the artificial drug-induced green fetish fluid squeezed out of the gross male nipple of a trans person," said Dr. Bob Bill, who led the study. "This may indicate a serious transphobia problem in the baby...

Move over Hadid sisters, you’re no longer the only ones with upfront assets to flash. As evidenced by recent splashy, sexy looks sported by Harry Styles, a number of preening professional athletes and models at recent fashion shows, male cleavage is busting out on the studliest stars. Shirts unbuttoned to the sternum and undone jackets allow well-built men to show off nicely sculpted chest muscles. And women in the rag trade are not complaining. “I am absolutely into it,” gushes stylist Calyann Barnett, who dresses elite athletes such as Usain Bolt, Rajon Rondo and Victor Oladipo. “When you decide to...

(CNN) -- A young man in his 20s -- let's call him George -- sits across from me in the exam room. "Dr. Youn," he says, "I have man boobs." I notice a not-so-unfamiliar smell wafting from his body. It's the same odor that floated my way during a rock concert I recently attended. "How long have you had a problem with this, George?" "Hard to say. But it seems to have gotten worse over the past year or so." "George, the first thing you need to do is stop smoking pot. Marijuana could be causing your man boobs."

Obama to take the plunge, will swim in gulf Posted: August 14th, 2010 03:27 PM ET From CNN Senior White House Correspondent Ed Henry (CNN) – The one really big question hanging over President Obama's weekend vacation to Panama City, Florida, now has an answer. Will he or won't he dive into the water to send a message that the Gulf Coast is back? The answer: He will, but the public is unlikely to see images of a shirtless President Obama. "I think we're going to go tomorrow and as I just said Ed, I'm not going to let you...

Take away the spoon and what have ya got?.......

Has it really come to this ... this ... this travesty of political correctness? What kind of a crazy, mixed-up world is it when your mugshot doesn't reveal how you really look? The audacity! For murder suspect Eduardo Ibarra Perez gets to save face. He might have a violent past and may have been arrested for shooting his wife in the head, but at least the world doesn't get to see his man boobs, in his LAPD most wanted profile.

Alex Rodriguez wasn't the only player in the Yankee clubhouse who suffered from "man boobs," an embarrassing side effect of steroid use. According to "American Icon," a book by the Daily News sports investigative team that will be released on May 12, Roger Clemens also sprouted breasts as a result of anabolic steroid use. The condition is called gynecomastia, and it occurs in men who use steroids because their bodies compensate for a surge of testosterone by increasing production of female hormones.

Here’s a textbook definition of bias by story placement in a newspaper. On Christmas Eve, the Washington Post placed the release of the Obama’s transition team’s report on contacts with Gov. Rod Blagojevich on page A3 – headlined "Obama Report Clears Dealings with Blagojevich." Centered right underneath the headline in this four-column story was a gray two-column box with a sidebar headlined in capitals "OBAMA ATTENDS SERVICE FOR GRANDMOTHER." But on Christmas Day, this Obama story was on Page One of the Post: "As Duties Weigh Obama Down, His Faith in Fitness Only Increases." The December 25 front-pager, written by...

Obesity is more dangerous than smoking and will dramatically shorten the lives of millions, a landmark study has found. While smoking reduces life by an average of ten years, the research says being seriously overweight can cut life expectancy by as much as 13 years. The Foresight report, written by 250 leading scientists, says Britain's obesity crisis is so severe that it would take at least 30 years to reverse. If current trends continue, by 2050 about 60 per cent of men, 50 per cent of women and 25 per cent of children in the UK will be clinically obese...

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Loretta Nall, the Libertarian Party's write-in candidate for governor of Alabama, is campaigning on her cleavage and hoping that voters' eyes will eventually refocus on her platform. "It started out as a joke, but it blew up into something huge," Nall said. Nall, who spoke in an interview Friday on the Capitol steps, realizes that's about as close as she is going to get to the governor's office. But her "anything goes" style of campaigning — including campaign gear showing her smiling in a low-cut dress — has helped her attract attention not normally enjoyed by write-in...

Like many kids in middle school, Alameda resident Merle Yost had a nickname. But it wasn't one of those nicknames that kids like, the ones that describe a child's prowess such as "Sport" or "Champ" or "Slugger."No, Yost's nickname described a physical feature he grew into as a young man. His nickname was "Tits."By junior high, the skinny kid from Missouri had pronounced breasts. Yost began what would be a lifetime struggle with what's medically known as gynecomastia, or casually referred to by many as "man boobs.""The girls would offer me their bras, and the guys would attack my chest,"...

SHE hadn't seen him naked for a while - but when she walked in on her husband Stephen in the bathroom, Catherine Everett couldn't fail to spot something very different. He still had a full head of hair. He was still ruggedly handsome. But he certainly wasn't the man she married. He had grown a pair of breasts. In fact he was admiring them in the mirror at the very moment she walked in to give him a kiss. Catherine says the 41-year-old pizza restaurant manager had decided to have a sex change - without telling her. Advertisement "I couldn't...

Steve Vaught tells everyone he's walking across America because he's fat and doesn't want to be. He fears he'll be dead before his children grow up. "There aren't that many 50-year-old 375-pound guys waddling around," he says with a smile. Vaught, 39, who lives in Valley Center with his wife and two kids, began walking from Oceanside April 10, bound for New York City. But if you sit and talk with Vaught, he'll eventually tell you there's more to his story than excess weight. He has demons that need exorcising, memories that need to be dealt with. Fifteen years ago,...

An editor working on ex-President Bill Clinton's memoirs has raised questions about the veracity of his account after reading the book's first draft. "Did you make half of that stuff up?" the editor asked, according to Clinton's own admission during a ceremony at his Little Rock presidential library on Friday. In little-noticed comments covered by the Associated Press, the ex-president revealed the unnamed editor's skepticism, saying, "When I first showed my editor the drafts of my memoirs, he said, 'Boy you've got a lot in here about Arkansas.' "And I said, 'Well read it before you cut it out.'" Then...

Making a clean breast of fashion By JENNIFER MELOCCO WANT to keep abreast of the latest in male fashion? Well, the message from Milan is to say goodbye to Mr Macho and hello to Mr Androgyny. The provocative direction – featuring male models with fake breasts under figure-hugging knitwear – was sent down the catwalk by outrageous British designer Vivienne Westwood in the mens' autumn winter 2003 shows held this week. And while the effect may look outrageous today, fashion commentators reckon Sydney men may just end up adopting it – in a few years' time. Director of fashion...
