Sir Richard Branson, Billionaire, Butt-Flasher: the video

So the deal is this: Sir Richard “Hottie” Branson, the closest thing England has to an attractive man, was going to rapell down the side of the Fantasy Tower at the Palms in Vegas, to publicise the new Virgin Airways flight from San Fran to Vegas. Things went about as smoothly as you’d expect, once you knew it would pop up here: ie, things got grossly out of hand, resulting in Sir Richard banging the side of the building repeatedly (whether or not it was his type we have been unable to determine; and oh, WHY must it be a mere building: Richard, call me) and also in his splitting his pants up the backside, revealing some dusky grey tighty greyeys, much to onlookers’ amusement.

    “the closest thing England has to an attractive man”?? Good heavens no, we have many many attractive men and some of them in public life; Boris Johnson, Alan Duncan, Peter Hitchens, Christopher Hitchens, Orlando Bloom, Jack Davenport, Daniel Radcliffe? Sooty?

    And what does Canada have? A lot of lumberjacks that drink beer!

    OK, you win.

    (Think Boris is sexier than ‘handsome Branson’ though)

    Congratulations and welcome back.

    Who’s “Sooty?” Branson is the prettiest of that lot except Bloom, who lives in LA; if the Hitchenses are the hunkiest men of which Britain can boast, then I rest my case. Boris has lovely hair, though.

    Find the very handsome Sooty here.

    As you see the Hitchenses cannot compete, but Sooty does have a thumb up his ass.

    Oh, for heaven’s sake, woman! They only go for that sort of thing in ENGLAND! Although I can see what you like about him; that quality must remind you of H Minor.

    ummm, i’m not sure “rappelling/abseiling” is the term i would use to describe this. More like “being dropped”.

    I suppose Sir Richard did this after being dared to prove he was well hung . . .

    “Richard did this after being dared to prove he was well hung”?? hur hur. However in my experience British men usually drink a shedload of beer and run around naked singing rugby songs: Engerlaaaaaand!!

    If they don’t do that they are football loving pansies and hang a washcloth on it in an attempt to impress a girl – this always fails.

    Before I even watch this video, I’m going to give you an ol’ hearty “yes oh yes!”

    Yes, Branson is a hottie, even still. I’m not 100% sure he didn’t wear breakaway pants for this stunt; put nothing past this man.

    Gee I hope the guy who’s commentating had nothing to do with setting the anchor.

    Breakaway pants? Yes…topping Ms Janet Jackson.
