Are you a mile high club member?
Singapore Air is the first operator of the new Airbus A380, which offers passengers 12 first-class suites with the world's first airborne double beds. They've requested that passengers refrain from having sex in the private suites, which are not soundproof. However, with a private room and endless champagne, passengers are complaining that not only has Singapore Airlines provided the ultimate "romantic setting," but they're infringing on a passenger's right to "do what comes naturally."

Should the airline be imposing such restrictions on its passengers? Would you want to have sex on an airplane? Or are you already a member of the Mile High Club?

It's possible to come up with a great last-minute Halloween costume
Halloween is here again... but do you have a costume yet?

To save our readers from the inevitable last-minute hell of trying to come up with a disguise that’s witty (think Larry “I am your father” Birkhead in a Darth Vader suit), scary -- maybe even sexy (you know you want to show off those biceps) -- we’re opening up today’s blog so you guys can post your Halloween costume ideas and help each other out.

What is the best last-minute costume you’ve ever seen? And the worst? Should Halloween costumes be bloody and gory, or is this your chance to look good? What's your advice for simple and manly costumes that men can feel confident wearing?

Apocalypse Prediction

Will zombies end life on this earth as we know it?
With a barrage of zombie movies and end-of-the-world spoofs circulating Hollywood and our television screens, it's hard to ignore that little voice in the back of our heads that keeps telling us it's all going to come crashing down eventually. Maybe not tomorrow, but definitely at some point down the road.

We all know the theory that the U.S. will bring it all to an explosive end, but do you agree? Maybe a neurological disorder will turn the greater population into flesh-eating zombies, or a blood disease will overpopulate the world with blood-sucking vampires... there are so many possibilities.

How do you think the world will end? Will it be a plague? A huge explosion? Or are we just being nuts and the human race is destined to live forever?

Daily Blog: Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theorists attack 9/11
Hecklers recently outburst on Real Time with Bill Maher and during a Bill Clinton speech in Minneapolis, proclaiming that “9/11 is a conspiracy and a fraud” and that the attacks were an “inside job.” Bill Maher manned up and physically initiated the hecklers’ removal, while the troublemakers were simply removed from Clinton’s audience.

We love conspiracy theories. We relish everything from the JFK assassination to the validity of our moon landing to Jimmy Hoffa being buried in Giants Stadium. These incidents raise some question though: Was 9/11 a conspiracy? And, if yes, is this the biggest of all time?

Join the debate

Do you think 9/11 was a conspiracy? Are you a conspiracy theorist? Which conspiracy theory is your favorite? Which conspiracy is the biggest of all time? Are these hecklers exercising their right to free speech, or are they interrupting?

Charisma Carpenter posed for Playboy in June, 2004
It's not enough that we get to see our favorite Hollywood hotties on huge, 40-foot theater screens... No, we also want to see them strip it all away and pose for the pages of Playboy magazine. Then, and only then, are we truly satisfied.

Actresses like Drew Barrymore, Kim Kardashian, Charisma Carpenter, and Kristy Swanson have done the dirty deed -- and we're more than thankful for it. But, what about all the sexy celebrities we're just itching to see grab that coveted cover and bare it all inside?

Which star would you most like to see pose for Playboy? Are there any who have already posed who you'd like to see again?

Scariest Movie?

Jack Nicholson in The Shining
From the menacing chuckle of Chuckie and the bone-chilling hissing of Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs to Jack Nicholson's infamous "Heeeere's Johnny!" in The Shining, scary movies have been a mainstay in cinema since films became a social pastime. From "realistic" flicks like The Blair Witch Project to spooky spoofs like Scream, moviegoers are always on the prowl to find the scariest movie.

Join the debate

Which movie is the scariest of all-time? What scares you the most: in-your-face blood and guts or "everyday" people (or dolls in the case of Chuckie) becoming corrupt, blood-thirsty killers?

Your Prized Possessions

Men's most prized possessions
In a day and age when so much value is placed on materialism, everyone has prized possessions they'd rather die for than part with. From $2,000 suits to $10,000 home entertainment setups to $50,000 cars, to most men the thought of losing their most cherished items is on par with losing a pet or breaking up with a girlfriend.

Hypothetically speaking, if there were a situation -- a natural disaster, a terrorist attack or even an apocalyptic catastrophe -- most of us know exactly what items we would try to save along with ourselves.

What's the one thing you would pack if you had to evacuate your home? Do you have any valuable possessions that you can't live without?

Should women be the breadwinners of the family?
For decades, moms have typically been the ones to stay at home with the kids while dads have gone off to their jobs, making them the sole breadwinners of the family. But with changing times, women are much more prevalent in the workforce and it's the moms who are bringing home the dough, while the dads are out running errands and taking the kids to "gymboree" class.

According to a recent CareerBuilder.com survey, 37% of working dads say they'd leave their jobs if their spouse or partner made enough money to support the family. If given the choice, another 38% would take a pay cut to spend more time with their kids. In fact, one in four professional dads say that their jobs are having a negative impact on their relationship with their children. So, are women breadwinners the solution?

What do you think of women breadwinners? Is it acceptable for a woman to be the primary earner in a household? Is this the best way to mend a father/child relationship?

Is Michael Vick the worst man of 2007?
Yesterday, AskMen.com celebrated the launch of its Top 49 Men of 2007. And on the strength of over a million votes, the individuals deemed to be the best representatives of the male sex turned out to be a who’s who of men’s men, including David Beckham, Matt Damon and Timbaland.

But while we spent plenty of hours compiling our list of the gents that best epitomized the male sex over the past year, we spent relatively little time considering those who have been the worst representatives of the male gender in 2007 -- our Bottom 49, if you will. Would the top, er… bottom spot go to dog-abuser Michael Vick? White-collar criminal Conrad Black? Drugged-up rubbish bin Pete Doherty? Yes, from O.J. Simpson to Zac Efron to Perez Hilton to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, 2007 has been filled with guys who prompt their fellow man to hang his head in shame.

Who do you think has been the worst representative of the male race over the past year?

George Clooney has been a regular on our list, but will he make it again in '08?
As this year's Top 49 Men of 2007 launches today, we are already looking ahead to next year's nominees, and we want your input and votes.

Even though we could already list a couple of hundred obvious candidates to choose from for the Top 49 Men of 2008, we can't pretend to know about every man who should be on this list -- so who did we miss this year? Are there other George Clooneys, Lewis Hamiltons and Shia LaBeoufs we don't know about? Who will the breakout stars of the next year be?

Check out this year's results here, and put in your two cents for next year's Top 49 Men of 2008.
