Steve:Vrooom! You think it’s about racing, and at first it is, but the pattern on Desmond’s sofa reveals a deeper story about the native peoples of the American Southwest. There are two narratives here. Or possibly three.
Well, I think we can all agree that this is NOT a Friend of Dorothy.
Living in the southwest, I see variations of this sofa pattern everywhere. But bad taste IS a portable skill-set, so this dude could be from anywhere.
So, I say we go for an informal vote: which concentric circle of Hades would YOU expect to be decorated like this?

It’s amazing what you can put together with a Fingerhut catalog and the local Wal-Mart. This is exquisite!

I… I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a NASCAR liquor cozy before.
How very… innovative.
As for the sofa – could it be that he’s just into Southwest Airlines? A lot? (Certainly SEEMS to be making him happy!)
BTW, FYI: This dude is courting serious skin cancer issues later in life. But only on the face and neck.

How sweet. I’m guessing from the newness of the toys and that the bottle isn’t yet opened yet, that it’s somebody’s birthday. And it would seem–if he wasn’t sitting right there–that he just turned 13. His excitement is endearing (at the mere thought of getting drunk he’s already willing to put out). And I love how he’s clutching the footrest with his feet, as if it might try to get away.

Apparently, this Native American has gotten his hands on the latest edition of “Redneck Decorating” monthly, the Nascar edition. And God is going to bless him for sitting on that couch just like he is going to bless all of us for having seen it.
Tex, I’ll take that as a yes.

couch isn’t bad.
carpet looks surprisingly unstained.
i see lots of paw marks on that ottoman. obviously, it’s used frequently. of course if it’s used frequently, i wouldn’t be surprised if the couch had some stains on it.
this is loads better, btw, then the post below it. That one caused me trauma.

Living proof that bad taste is a portable skill set. This guy is Everyman. But he is definitely NOT a Friend of Dorothy.
Witness the choice of Bourbon. While respectable, Jim Beam should only grace the sauce recipes of our people; not our palates.
I wonder how many times his girlfriend’s cat pee’d on that sofa.

Charles remarks:
Nathan, you can relax. I think his great toes are just very flat…and in his excitement to clutch the faux suede ottoman holding his NASCAR relics, they just appear broken (and or partially missing).
I think he works at a liquor store – and was able to take home the counter display car-cozy. Maybe the hat was a give-away if you bought a case of Jim Beam?
I can’t find any complaint about the decor – the ottoman is decent (though smallish) – the sofa is clean (a nice change from some others). I wouldn’t wanna live here mind you, but I’d visit.
For any non-southern, perhaps foreign born viewers – this man is a visual definition of the term “redneck”.

I’m afraid this is no Native American decor, nor NASCAR. It is pure and simply the home of the Native Australian “Bogan”. The car theme is carefully built around the Australian car marque of Holden (the red and white flag on the rear left). The faux Navaho couch comes from a store called “Super A-mart” and is very good at diguising Fourex beer stains. As for the Jim Beam… well, it is the signature drink of the Greater Aussie Redneck! The only touch missing is the large sized Australian flag pressed into service as a curtain behind him!

If you’re wondering what’s going on here, check out his third index finger. It points to the Jim Beam. He’s saying, “It’s not open yet. Come Join Me. We can party, make love. And I’ve got a couple of Big ‘Mos in the kitchen.”

Mister Dirt remarks:
Not only are the pillows two different shades of gray but has anyone noticed that the curtains are not quite the same shade? And I don’t think it’s the angle of the sun setting or something like that… one definitely has a piss yellow tint. I’m also kind of disturbed by that expression. Can you imagine the horror of looking up to the man topping you and seeing that sun-scorched grinning visage? He ain’t quite right.
This whole scene is like something from a Clive Barker novel.

Lambchop remarks:
When, oh when, will they learn? If you’re going to have an erection and a bottled beverage in the same shot, go for the positive comparison! The party size Jim Beam should have been jettisoned immediately, in favor of a few dozen of the airline/hotel mini-bar style. Also, the drape of the left arm is all wrong. Bring the elbow in to the sense of a pleasing v-shaped torso. The neckburn creates a lovely arrow, drawing the viewer’s eye to the goodies, and yet you lose us with the skinny-fat. Such a wasted opportunity.

Um… sorry to spoil the fun, but… this petrol sniffing bogan looks to be Australian, not a Yank.
The red flag in the background is an Aussie car brand, Holden. And the ‘Nascar’ is actually a Ford Falcon (an Aussie built car, mostly used as a Taxi, and idolised by the poor!).
Um, I love this website, and I also would do every guy on here! Hello…they are REAL men… peace

David K. publishes Nightcharm, the only gay porn site ever to be featured on Oprah and regularly compared to Martha Stewart Living.
Shawn Baker is the Executive-Editor of Nightcharm and hails from New York. He is a member of its young underclass, a little bit Ann Darrow, a little bit Travis Bickle.
Richard writes the infamous queer blog Sturtle.com . His turn-ons include wainscoting, ZZ Top, and sharp-dressed men. Turn-offs: sectionals, pleated trousers, and pina coladas.
Eric B. does not Facebook, Tweet or blog. He uses the internet to cruise for sex, like god intended. He has leopard print in every room of his house, save one. And he does not apologize.
Heather Corinna is the undisputed diva of online erotica for chicks. She publishes Scarleteen.com and is a sex guru to thousands of teenagers.
Sean Horlor is happy to no longer be using his judgmental prowess for the forces of darkness. He co-hosts a comedy lifestyle reality TV series called Don't Quit Your Gay Job and runs Up Your Alley.
