A forty-something “real movie producer” is looking for a new pool boy, and he’s willing to pay you $200 a day to don a Speedo as you clean the gutters (and serve towels and drinks). So how’s he going about finding help? Craigslist of course. But don’t scoff: He says he’s already had more than 100 interested applicants (who must fit the “clean-cut, All-American looking and be comfortable/attractive in a Speedo” requirement) write in hoping for the job. And to even be considered, Speedo photos must be included. Alternatively, this movie producer could have simply hunted Grindr, right Adam Shankman?

He looks more like a male prostitute for rent.

“All American Looking”, and “Clean Cut”…????
Let me guess; Men of colour Need not apply right…?
Why didn’t he just say “Whites only” in the ad?
So typical..

@Black Pegasus; I agree with your 500%. I guess we black men aren’t considered “All American”. These are code words whites use all the time. My ancestors fought in the Civil War, World Wars 1&2, Vietnam, and in Iraq. As patriots of the USA, they should be considered “All American”. Guess what, they aren’t because they are black Ameircans, not white Americans. How sad.

I’ve heard or seen the term “All American” written in gay and straight publications. I knew this term doesn’t mean or include black men. Maybe someone should call the Rev. Al and messy Jesse Jackson to complain. LOL

@Black Pegasus:
I came in here to say the exact same thing! In the gay community, black guys are at the bottom totem pole. We want the same opportunities to be objectified!
Not.

Who wants to be some loser’s hired help anyway? Feel free to keep excluding me from your little “job”.

Gosh, this must be the real deal, cause, if he were a fake movie producer, Craig’s List wouldn’t allow the ad, and Speedo would sue, right?

The guy in the photo does not look good in speedos. Sorry.

@Black Pegasus: I understand what you’re saying. What really is “All American” these days? It can be an array of color and backround. Am I to assume that “All American” is blonde and bronze? I’m sorry, but that “label” can be anyone. A black, Hispanic, Asian or white man, to me, can be classified as “All American,” and be HOT! Just my opinion, but that term can go back to the 1970’s where it belongs!

Why can’t someone who’s paying $200 a day, or any amount, come right out and say what he wants to pay for? We all have our tastes. If he wants an all-American white guy, so what – you going to shame him into hiring a Chinese lesbian?

I wish I could hire a pool boy, and yes I would hire anyone cute, and not be racially prohibited. Diversity is beautiful and should be celebrated.

@Joey: I think this young man looks good in his speedos. I’m I hearing jealousy coming from you? Stop hating and be supportive of this good looking man and his body.

Gimme a break people. I have nothing against black people. But white people are getting tired of forced mixing. When I grew up in Houston in the 80’s there was a nice family place called Fame City where people (mostly white) would go and have fun roller scateing, playing mini-golf, etc. Now the neighborhood has been taken over by gangs (mostly black) and the place isn’t fun anymore. I know I’m not the only white guy that is tired of seeing these black kids slumping around gangsta style with their giant necklaces, baggy pants and over-sized white T-shirts with backward base-ball caps listening to Rap Music and demanding “respect” It ruined the place, and now its about to close down. Can’t people dress anymore? What some people call “racism” is just the natural tendency for people to want to be around and date people that look and act LIKE THEM. The dirty little secret is that even people who would shun ANY outward racism are still secretly saying to themselves, “Gosh, I wish there weren’t so many black/asian/whatever people here. And before you call me a bigot, consider that black folks do THE EXACT SAME THING when too many Mexicans move in. Mexicans do THE EXACT SAME THING when Asians move in. So lets stop pretending.

What’s “roller scateing?”
