2012's Boys of Summer (a.k.a. Shirtless Hotties!)

You thought that the stars of summer blockbusters were the only men to get attention during the summer? Think again—did you forget about the NBA Finals, the Euro Cup, and Grand Slam tennis? Not to mention the Summer Olympics!   When else is it acceptable to ogle athletes (who all seem to enjoy celebrating a victory by taking off their shirts) all under the guise of commenting on their superior midfield kicking skills or their sweet backwards swimming power? (Don’t know the first thing about sports? It’s okay, neither do we. Obviously.)   Yes, summer is basically one long parade of half-naked bodies. We feel bad about letting women and their bikinis steal all the spotlight, so click through to our objectification-tastic slideshow of the boys you’ll be hearing a lot about this year.
