Feet In Sand -- Is It Porn?*

It's no secret that foot fetishism is, y'know, a thing. Lots of dudes (and inevitably ladiez, too) love it when gals exclusively shed the skin below the ankles. But what about when getting those dirty dogs dig deep into the sand? Is the sight of feet in sand fetishism squared?

The video is entitled "sexy soles in the sand," which seems like a clue, but then again haven't we all experienced the sexy, sexy feeling of burying our little piggies on the beach?

Click through to watch the video and let us know what you think.


Are feet in the sand videos porn?

Who Was Our Manliest President?

In many countries, President's Day is celebrated by throwing all living Presidents into a giant pit and rewarding the first one to emerge with the coveted title of "Greatest President Ever."

Actually, that's completely made up, but it would be kinda cool.

Anyway, in lieu of being able to offer a Commander in Chief death match, we would like to celebrate this holiday Monday by allowing you to exercise your democratic right to vote on which of our Presidents was the biggest badass.

Read on for a refresher on each of the nominated's manly accomplishments.

Which President Had The Most Manly Attributes?

The Worst Snowman FAILs

With all the recent snow activity, you'd think people would have figured out how to put together a snowman. It's pretty standard practice for winter weather, but somehow people still manage to mess it up. Others manage a good start, but fail at keeping their snowman alive. And really, isn't a stooped, melting snowman even worse that one that wasn't that good to start with? Click through for a collection of some failed Frostys that just didn't really work out.

Graham Watanabe Is Our Most Quotable Olympian

Every Olympics, the powers that be (meaning NBC) choose an athlete or two to build the narrative of the entire games around. This year it's clear that Lindsey Vonn -- she of the swimsuit photos and will-she-or-won't-she injuries -- is one of the anointed. But hopefully the network will also make room for Graham Watanabe, a snowboarder with a decent shot of picking off a medal and a mouth of pure gold.

When asked by a reporter what it feels like to be in the Olympics, the Sun Valley, Idaho, native responded, "Try to imagine Pegasus mating with a unicorn and the creature that they birth. I somehow tame it and ride it into the sky in the clouds and sunshine and rainbows. That's what it feels like."

We found more evidence of Watanabe's unique loquaciousness on his blog. Read on to check it out.

The Unsung Heroes of Macworld 2010

Attending Macworld 2010 is like stepping into Futureland at Disney World. Held at the Moscone Center in cyber-hub San Francisco this Thursday through Saturday, Macworld is a celebration of all things Apple, featuring product demos that would literally make a caveman's brain explode from its cranium.

Mix that with cool seminars and experts giving you the full tech skinny on cutting-edge products, and you've got the makings for one hell of a Mac-tastic event.

It's also completely insane. Asylum asked me to be on hand at the opening day of the legendary geekfest and I cruised around my first expo like a Cro-Magnon man discovering fire.

Read on, my friends, read on......

Face It -- Peyton Manning Just Doesn't Win

It seems there was a little something called the Super Bowl this past Sunday, and it featured the Indianapolis Colts vs. the New Orleans Saints.

Before this Super Bowl turned into a Who Dat getting crunked bacchanal on Bourbon Street, a lot of people thought the Colts would destroy the Saints because they had Peyton Manning. In fact, Peyton Manning elicited such glowing, giddy, and hyperbolic articles, that we actually thought he might levitate during the pregame ceremonies.

Then Peyton successfully impersonated Neil O'Donnell circa Super Bowl XXX. Surprised? You shouldn't be. If you look at his career in more detail, you'll see why we should have seen this coming.

Keep reading for a timeline of Peyton's epic FAIL.

'The Wolfman,' 'Videocracy,' 'Valentine's Day,' and More in New Movies

Required viewing from the week in movies.

We really want to like "The Wolfman." First off, Benicio Del Toro is reliably awesome. (He basically gets a lifetime pass for is participation in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.") Second, it's directed by Joe Johnston, of "The Rocketeer" fame. Not to mention that it's old-school horror, refreshingly free of shirtless teen not-really-werewolves. But its Rotten Tomatoes score is so awfully low, we can't even consider spending money on it.

Also in theaters:
-- Reality TV gets exposed for the soulless fame machine it is in the Italian film "Videocracy." Or, as it's known in America, "Teen Mom."
-- Will "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief" be the next "Harry Potter"? If not, that unnecessarily long title is more than a little presumptuous.
-- Shouldn't "Valentine's Day" be called "He's Just Not That Into Love, Actually"? And, while we're on the topic, why is Garry Marshall still allowed to make movies? "Pretty Woman" was like 20 years ago. What's he done since then? "The Other Sister"? "Exit to Eden"? "Georgia Rule"? Hasn't he caused enough misery?

21 Percent Prefer Pets Over a Partner on Valentine's Day

Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.

One out of five adults worldwide would rather celebrate St. Valentine's Day with a furry (or scaly) platonic friend.

Reuters/Ipsos pitted pets against spouses in a survey of 24,000 people in 23 countries regarding how one would prefer to celebrate Feb. 14. They found that a full quarter of those under 35 go for the pet; 18 percent of those people aged 35 to 55 do, as well; and 14 percent of people over 55 pine for a V-Day free of human companionship.

As for individual countries, American respondents were somewhere in the middle with a 27 percent preference for a domesticated animal. Turks were the biggest pet lovers, checking in at 49 percent, whereas the French were at the other end of the spectrum, with only 10 percent eschewing human-to-human contact.

So here is a Valentine's Day question for us all to ponder this weekend: Why do the French hate animals so much?

'30 Rock' Delivers Maxim Top 100 Zing

On last night's Valentine's Day episode of NBC's "30 Rock," Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) took a shot at Jack Donaghy's (Alec Baldwin) newest love interest, Avery Jessup.

"Wow, Avery Jessup, she's hot. She was on Maxim's I'd Rape That 100" says Lemon.

Avery Jessup, which sounds more like a porn star name, is a CNBC talk show host played by the lovely Elizabeth Banks. Banks herself actually does not appear on Maxim's most recent Hot 100, or any of the other three lists Asylum recently dissected. And we're not just pointing this out because we're jealous Tina Fey knows Maxim's name. (Well, maybe a little.)
