In an age of near-daily political bombshell reporting, one story of personal triumph managed to rise up and make its mark.
We’re referring, of course, to Zac Efron‘s thirst-trap return to Instagram after a three-month hiatus.

The actor posed in his personal sauna giving his best cruising look, and the internet took notice.
People decried, “Red Hot!” Elle took the bait on some wordplay, calling it “steamy.” Who cares if that’s a dry sauna and not a steam room? It’s the thought that counts.
News.com.au, however, took a more investigative approach.

“A phallic-shaped detail on his white shorts drew eyes crotch-ward,” the site reported, “with many pointing out that from afar – it looked like an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.”
A close analysis determined it was just the drawstring of Zac’s shorts poking up.
And the beat goes on.

Dripping hot!
You can expect a certain blow hard with no taste to break it to you that you’re obsessed with str8 guys which is “problematic”.
Oh steam room / sauna days. (biting knuckles). That’s a straight guys size sauna a gay guys would be four times that size. At least!
