There's a disturbing -- well, some might find encouraging -- trend hitting the always befuddling, herd-mentality-driven Internet. Since launching in April, site GuysWithiPhones.com [very NSFW] has featured a rogues' gallery of self-submitted snap-bandits, captured with their iPhones in a bathroom mirror either nude or semi-nude and in various states of arousal. OK, fine, whatever floats your app. But now, recognizable faces have begun to pop up on there.
First, R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe showed up, doing a little upright Nightswimming in a shower. Now, two stars of the very highly rated current season of So You Think You Can Dance have shimmied into the mix: Eliminated finalist Jonathan Platero is in athletic pants, and frontrunner Ade Obayomi, who actually has a shot at winning the show, appears in wet tighty-whities with what appears to be a semi-Obayochubby. Is this a case of So You Think You Can Commit Career Suicide or savvy viral marketing for Axe Body Spray? I honestly have no idea. The offending matter is here. [Towleroad]
