This video is a commercial for Aquijuego.co, an online gambling platform in Colombia. If offers a full range of casino games and sports betting options online, and it's licensed by the Colombian government.
The commercial is in Spanish, though you don't need to know Spanish to appreciate it. It becomes interesting about 10 seconds into the commercial.
A commercial like this would never be shown in the U.S. because we're too prudish.
Pierre Fallais (at center, above) was a French bodybuilder who won the Mr. France competition in 1957 and Mr. Europe in 1959. He also won a competition for "Most Beautiful Athlete in France" in 1957.
We have some photos of him posing nude, like the one above with a sword ...
and this one of him seated. The photographer for these photos was not identified.
This photo was taken by Armenian photographer Gregor Arax, who operated out of Paris.

Here's another photo of Fallais by Arax. This photo has been mistakenly identified as Robert Duranton on some websites, but it's Pierre Fallais. Note the sculpture in the photo.
This sculpture is called "Pierre Fallais, French Bodybuilder" by Russian artist Cleopatra Vladimirovna Beklemicheva. In the Arax photo, Fallais is duplicating the pose of the sculpture.
This sculpture sold at auction in 2024 for € 5900 ($6,232).
Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish festival that starts tonight, commemorating the recovery of Jerusalem in the second century BC. The festival is observed by lighting the candles of a candelabrum called a menorah with one candle used to light the others, one per night for eight nights. Other traditional activities include spinning a dreidel, a kind of 4-sided gambling top. Above, a Hanukkah celebrant. What a big dreidel you have!
And here we have the makings of another menorah. Eight candles, plus one more to light them.
Happy Hanukkah!
The guy above loves to hike naked. He posts his photos under a pseudonym, so I'll just call him "our hiker".
Today we see some photos that he posted of a hike that he took with his friend Adam (above) on April 25, 2021 to Devil's Nose, West Virginia. The hike started in the fields below the mountain.
Eventually they reached the top of the ridge, with nice views of the surrounding woods, not to mention a nice view of Adam from the front ...
and from the rear.
And here's our hiker on the top, from the front ...
and from the rear.
Then they headed back down through the woods. Here's Adam again ...
and we end with a view of the two friends.
Burning Man is an annual event focused on community, art, and self-expression. Last time we looked at Burning Man 2024. Today we look at Burning Man 2025.
As part of the focus on self-expression, the event is clothing-optional, and many attendees are naked. Above, an attendee on August 19, the beginning of "build week", the week before the festival.
During "build week", participants build a tent city of hundreds of "camps" in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, which they call Black Rock City. Click on the photo above for a larger view.
At the center of Black Rock City is The Man, a statue that will be burned at the end of the festival. In 2025 the statue and its supporting structure were designed by Mark Rivera.
On August 24 the festival proper started. As always, some attendees were naked. He's handsome, but IMHO, shaved pubes is not a good look.
Another festival attendee.
This amusing remote-controlled vehicle, called the Magic Carpet, made its way around the festival.
Various activities for attendees could be found at some of the camps, such as this trampoline.
These two guys engaged in a naked wrestling match.
Here's a video of their wrestling match. Is it shocking that they wrestled naked in public? In ancient Greece, all athletes competed naked, so a naked wrestling match like this would be perfectly normal. Society makes arbitrary rules about what is respectable and what isn't.
At the end of the event, amidst fireworks, The Man statue is set on fire and burned. Above, attendees, some clothed and some naked, circle the flames of the burning Man. And that's it for Burning Man until next year.
Tadeas Ruzicka, born in 1997, is a Czech kickboxer.
Ruzicka competed as a light middleweight at the W5 Grand Prix Kitek 32 event in Moscow in April 2016.
While weighing in, he was slightly over the weight limit and had to strip off his shorts.
Here he covers up, but we got a peek at him. No need to cover up, Tadeas! You're looking good!
Ruzicka went on to fight Sergey Chadon. Chadon won.
