Stuffed underwear...not really new
Gays are worthless specs of nothing that deserve NO respect. Dump them in prison yards thru out the land, during rec time and allow those big spic and nigger dicks to fuck them until the bleed to death!
You sound smart. I'm sure your life is going just perfectly for you.
Hey, Anon., is this the best you can do? It's time to go back under your rock, but this time, stay there!
C rings don't have much to do with dildos.. super sad if anyone in the world thinks any of those are real.. I think it's way hotter to have reg sized normal junk flop around than giant dildos that look fresh out of Boogie Nights.. AC always goes silly far to the point of runing the concept, I just wish the product line was the focus instead of the shameless promotions. I never seen anything the videos I'm compelled to go buy due to awesome designs, fabrics, color stories, patterns, or fit, yet I own hundreds of pairs of other brands that don't make any videos at all.
LOL. I wonder if the sizing on these will vary as badly as the sizing on the rest of AC's lines?
Love it!
It's Great!!
I love how people get offended or whatever. It's not like you didn't know exactly what you were clicking on! And if you don't like the undies it's prolly because you're not hot enough to wear them! I love my AC's!!
looks good to me..
This is an SNL skit, right??
Lol, there's a reason this was sponsored by a sex toy company. It's not like most of these guys have not been seen naked by almost everyone. That ain't what they're packing.
Whoever comes with the ideas for the videos its fucked up, like yeah we get it sex sells, but you can make something classy not tacky like this, I mean the underwears is tasteless and tacky and this commercials make it looks worse! If this represent a brand of "gay underwear" It only makes me not want to be gay
Haha LOVE it!!!!!
thats funny
Please stop sharing these horrible AC videos. I couldn't finish it. I think I lost a few brain cells.
Because there's a gun to your head making you watch them?

WOONSOCKET – The city could become the fourth community in the state to ban smoking in public parks and recreation areas under an ordinance up for consideration by the City Council on Monday.
If passed, it would follow Central Falls, Warren and West Warwick in prohibiting smokers from lighting up outdoors.
Cumberland passed a non-binding ordinance to ban smoking in parks in 2009 but it's not illegal for people to smoke outdoors.
WOONSOCKET – The city could become the fourth community in the state to ban smoking in public parks and recreation areas under an ordinance up for consideration by the City Council on Monday.
If passed, it would follow Central Falls, Warren and West Warwick in prohibiting smokers from lighting up outdoors.
Cumberland passed a non-binding ordinance to ban smoking in parks in 2009 but it's not illegal for people to smoke outdoors.
The Woonsocket proposal would prohibit smoking at all athletic fields, playgrounds, parks and outdoor recreation facilities, allowing the police to fine anyone caught violating the ordinance $100.
The proposal was introduced by Council President John Ward at the request of the Woonsocket Prevention Coalition, a non-profit arm of the city that advocates healthy, drug-free lifestyles for youth.
Carol Frisk, tobacco control coordinator for the prevention coalition, said the ordinance is designed to protect children from the dangers of second-hand smoke and help keep the city's parks free of cigarette litter, including packaging and butts.
"It would be a positive thing for a community at a time when we don't have a lot of positive things going on," she says.
The WPC wasn't sure it would be able to muster public support for the measure because Woonsocket is believed to have a significantly higher number of smokers than the statewide average. The Department of Health doesn't track smoking rates by city and town, but it says about 17 percent of Rhode Islanders smoke and that smoking rates are generally higher among those in lower income brackets, especially between $25,000 and $49,000 a year. Woonsocket's median income is $39,329, according to the U.S. census.
Last year, however, in a survey of nearly 300 city residents that included smokers and ex-smokers, 83 percent of respondents said they would "like or love the idea of 100 percent smoke-free parks," according to Frisk.
Lisa Carcifero, the director of the WPC, said the goal of the ordinance isn't to deny anyone the opportunity to smoke, but to protect children from the dangers of second-hand smoke.
"It's really the kids that use the parks so much and we're trying to make it a healthy environment for them," she said. "This will be a positive thing and I believe we'll have the community support."
A preamble to the proposed ordinance says the federal Centers for Disease Control has determined that tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death and disease and there is no risk-free level of contact with second-hand smoke. It says more people die every year from smoking than the combined toll of alcohol, traffic accidents, cocaine, heroin, AIDS, murder and suicide.
The "City of Woonsocket has a unique opportunity to create and sustain a smoke-free, clean air environment supported by adult-peer role modeling on city-owned property in order to protect everyone's right to breath clean, smoke-free air..."
Smoking has been illegal in all enclosed workplaces in Rhode Island, including bars and restaurants, since the Public Health and Workplace Safety Act went into effect in March 2005. A proposal surfaced in the General Assembly last year to extend the ban to public beaches, but it was never passed.
"There is no law prohibiting smoking, but we are trying to curb smoking on beaches on a voluntary basis in partnership with the state Department of Health," says John Faltus, deputy director of recreation for the state Department of Environmental Management.
The state ban on indoor smoking has always given cities and towns the leeway to adopt stricter codes, but so far only three communities in Rhode Island have done so – Warren, West Warwick and Central Falls, according to Americans for Nonsmoker Rights, a group that tracks the progress of smoke-free initiatives around the country. Smoking is also banned at town beaches in North Providence and Westerly and 16 communities in Massachusetts prohibit puffing in parks and recreation areas, the closest being Attleboro.
Frisk said she consulted a number of existing laws and resolutions before assembling the proposed legislation.
"I looked at Cumberland, Central Falls and other states as well, including California and New York," she said. "I took the best from all the possibilities and tried to provide language for the city clerk to develop a model ordinance."
The proposal says the smoke-free play zones include, but are not limited to, Cass Park, Globe Park, Dunn Park, Costa Park, Cold Spring Park, Bernon Park, Kendrick Playground, Phyllis Thomas Park, River's Edge Complex, River Island Park, Soucy Falls, Bouley Field, Menard Field, Ayotte Field, Hartnett Field, Dionne Track and Renaud Field.
Carcifero says the prevention coalition received a $60,000 grant from DOH that will be used, in part, to erect no-smoking signs at the parks.
"I support it," Mayor Leo T. Fontaine says of the proposed legislation. "The task force has done a lot to protect youths from the dangers of smoking, and this would also help keep the parks clean. There shouldn't be so many cigarette butts littering public places."

POTSDAM - A former SUNY Canton student from Winthrop was charged Wednesday with setting a fire on Oct. 25 that destroyed the 28 Pierrepont Ave. apartment building she lived in with nine other students from SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton.
Potsdam Village Police charged Brandi Lee Saumier, 21, of 1071 Buckton Road, Winthrop, with a felony count of second-degree arson Tuesday afternoon.
Saumier said she in court that she was a major in health care management at SUNY Canton but has withdrawn from school since the alleged incident.
In a statement to police, Ms. Saumier, who had received care at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg, following the incident, admitted to starting the fire at 1:30 a.m. with no intentions of hurting anyone.
Ms. Saumier was arraigned by Potsdam Acting Village Justice Margaret Garner and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond at the recommendation of Assistant District Attorney James Monroe. She is represented by attorney Peter A. Dumas, Malone.
Mr. Dumas waived Saumiers right to a preliminary hearing and told Judge Gardner that this was Ms. Saumiers first run in with the law and has no criminal history.
She was hospitalized and came in voluntarily today, Mr. Dumas said. She has no record, though this is quite a way to start it off.
Police allege Saumier set a fire in a bedroom in her first-floor apartment knowing that at least two other people, Mackaly L. Simpson, 20, and Adam G. Barnes, 21, were in the downstairs apartment and recognizing that several other residents of the three-unit apartment house were also likely at home.
A fourth roommate, Quinn G. Patraw, 21, was also in Ms. Saumiers apartment. Other residents of the apartment at home at the time of the fire were Marc I. Dean, 22, John R. Remington, 22, Kylie M. Stenger, 24, Christopher G. Natke, 23, and Daniel J. Johnson, 21. A visiting friend of Mr. Dean, Raymond R. Cummings, 22, of Hudson Falls, was also in the apartment at the time. Stephen Auyer, whose age was not available, a 10th resident of the apartment, was not at home at the time of the fire.
Ms. Saumier said she felt mistreated by everyone and everything, according to court documents. She said she hadnt been sleeping or eating well and on the night of the fire, she had woken up with a desire to get rid of her belongings.
I lit a roll (from paper towels) on fire and threw it in the middle of the room, Saumier said in a statement to police.
Once the fire began to burn, Saumier said she left the house without saying anything to Ms. Simpson and Mr. Barnes, and went to McDonalds on Market Street in the village, where she called family members who picked her up and took her to the police station at 4 a.m.
I didnt think about home. I didnt even know if I wanted my stuff to burn, Saumier said in her statement. No one else was in my room when I set the fire. No one else knew I set the fire.
Mr. Barnes told police in a statement that he and Ms. Simpson had smelled something burning, looked through the apartment and when they approached Ms. Saumiers bedroom door, felt heat emitting from it.
At that time I opened the door and a large, thick cloud of black smoke came out from the bedroom, Mr. Barnes said, adding that he, Ms. Simpson and Mr. Patraw exited the apartment. After calling 911 Barnes said he and Simpson went to alert their neighbors.
Mr. Dean was in his upstairs apartment and said he and Mr. Cummings smelled smoke, began searching the apartment about 1 a.m. and then heard a knock at his door.
It was the neighbors from downstairs. They said we might want to get out of the house, that their roommate lit the house on fire, Mr. Dean recalled.
Mr. Dean said downstairs neighbors told him that one of their roommates had been acting weird during the week and set a roommates clothing on fire in her room.
Firefighters fought the fire from 1:40 to 4 a.m. Potsdam Fire Chief Timothy L. Jerome said they had trouble putting the fire out right away as village hydrants were being flushed and the water pressure was weak. The structure of the building also created difficulties.
Mr. Dumas said although he spoke briefly with Saumier prior to arraignment, he didnt know the severity of the charges against her.
Ill be petitioning the court to consider her mental wellbeing, Mr. Dumas said after Ms. Saumier was led from court by Potsdam Police for processing. I plan on turning over every stone to get her the help that she needs.
Saumier is scheduled to return to Potsdam Village Court on Nov. 15.

Join us a family friendly ride! Each ride will be in a different location and have a special theme. They begin with a brief training session for parents to give a series of tips to ride with their children safely in traffic. The children will have a short bike safety lesson and an activity to do while the parents are training.
The rides are designed to be relatively easy and short for youngsters to enjoy. Each ride has a destination as the midway point for rest, hydration and snacks. The rides take place on Sundays from 1:45 - 3:30 p.m.
This program has been made possible with funding from the Blue Ridge Bike Club and Friends of Connect Buncombe.
The following is the schedule for the rides:
There is no age restriction for participants; however, the cyclists should be able to ride a couple of miles with competence. Babies riding proper seats of parents' bikes and in trailers are permitted. All riders must provide their own functioning bicycles, closed toe shoes and helmets.
We recommend families register at our Everbrite Site so that the organizers will have enough volunteers for the number of riders. Please call Lucy Crown at 713-8757 with questions or if you need more information.
Sponsored by Buncombe County Library, Recreation and Culture Department in partnership with Blue Ridge Bike Club, Asheville on Bikes, and Friends of Connect Buncombe.
