\"MrAnd today’s big news is that Juan Garcia has won Mr World 2007<\/a>. No, this is not a late April Fool’s joke. There really is a beauty pageant for men, and this year it was held in China.<\/p>\n

Contestants are vying to be “the most desirable men in the world” and must participate in a variety of manly pursuits including quad biking, raft building, mountain climbing and… a talent quest. They also have to participate in a fashion show, engage in a conservation project and create new and exciting cocktails.<\/p>\n

You’ll be pleased to know that yes, there is a swimsuit section, although there’s nary a Speedo budgie smuggler in sight. Nope, the boys all donned long-legged board shorts for their beach photos which is a damn shame as far as I’m concerned.<\/p>\n

Mr World has been operating since 1996 and apparently it regularly attracts billions of TV viewers but this is the first I’ve ever heard of it. Shame really. I think I’d watch if were on the telly here.<\/p>\n

\"MrAbove: Mr Turkey<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what to make of Mr World. I like that there’s a lot of very sexy guys on show and it’s nice to think that there’s some equality happening in the world of beauty pageants.<\/p>\n

At the same time, it all seems terribly ridiculous. Probably just as ridiculous as Miss World – it has all the same cliched hallmarks, like the way everybody loves “meeting people” and wishes for world peace. Not to mention the talent quests.<\/p>\n

\"MrAbove: Mr Chile<\/p>\n

I don’t think I would have chosen Mr Spain. He has very scary pale blue eyes.<\/p>\n

Perusing the contestants, I found myself clicking on the half-naked guys. Mr Chile wins for “Best washboard stomach” while Mr Bahamas gets a gong for “Best wild animal necklace.” I think Mr Turkey is one of the best looking, although Mr Dominican Republic is pretty hot as well. Mr Puerto Rico isn’t bad either.<\/p>\n

I can only judge them on their looks, unfortunately, as there’s not a whole lot of information available about their raft building skills. Because that’s something a lot of women consider when checking out a potential mate.<\/p>\n

Hmm… so many men, so little time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
