The Great Gatsby, Great Breaker Of Guy Code

With today's release of the latest movie adaptation of "The Great Gatsby," young guys might finally pick up this 1925 literary classic, along with F. Scott Fitzgerald's other novels. No, of course they won't--that would involve actually reading something longer than a tweet--but plenty of guys will see the movie with their girlfriends. And they'll discover that Gatsby is one of the biggest breakers of Guy Code in fictional character history.

Spoilers coming, though if you didn't sleep through high school English, you would already know this stuff...

1. No pride in his roots

The larger-than-life Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie) isn't even Gatsby! He was once a penniless North Dakota boy named James Gatz. Ashamed of his humble beginnings as he tries to make a splash in New York high society, Gatz ditches his name, ignores his elderly father back home and invents a phony persona for himself.

There's nothing sadder than a guy ashamed of his roots and embarrassed by his family (unless he's a Kardashian). Though, admittedly, Gatsby is a pretty cool fake name to pick for yourself.

Lingerie For Men Is A Thing That Exists And Should Not

Posted 4/18/13 3:30 pm EST by in Code Breakers

Here's what you, as a guy, should wear to bed: A) pajamas, B) underwear or C) nothing.

Here's what you shouldn't: A see-through lace teddy with a bunch of hearts all over it.

Now, we're firm believers that it's OK for consenting adults to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own bedrooms, bathrooms, dungeons, etc. Everyone's a little freaky, and we don't judge. That said, no dude on earth should try to rock a "Fun Teddy" like the one pictured above. (Actual sales text: "Lovely soft fabric teddy for men. Full cut that stays in place, perfect sleepwear. You will wear this every night.")

Even if you're saying to yourself, "No thanks, I won't wear this any night," such garments--a massive hit at this year's Las Vegas International Lingerie Show--could become mainstream before long, according to alt-weekly magazine Vegas Seven:

"If the audience's reception is any indication, we might be on the cusp of a new era in men's underwear. I'm not referring to body-hugging boxer briefs that leave little to the imagination; rather, I'm talking about frilly thongs, silk camisoles and pink teddies designed with men's bodies in mind."

The co-founder of male lingerie company Homme Mystere adds that, "As with women's lingerie, some [guys] will want it all the time, some for special occasions and some will be purchased by wives or girlfriends for the men in their lives." Yes, wives or girlfriends, because the majority of his customers are straight guys.

Count us out. The FAQ claims that men's lingerie is "fun, it feels great and it makes choosing underwear each day a little more enjoyable," but we'd rather go commando.

What Is Wrong, Mentally, With Guys Who Fake Orgasms?

Posted 4/17/13 1:02 pm EST by in Code Breakers, Relationships

It's a given that dudes are gonna lie to women, whether it's "That dress looks great on you" or "I'll come right home after work" or "I don't think about your friend that way" or "Of course I don't watch porn--where do people even find it?"

While those lies might not be right, in the 10 Commandments sense, at least they're understandable. But why, why, why would any guy fake an orgasm during sex?

Yeah, we'd never heard of it either, but studies have found that 25% to 34% of guys have counterfeited their climaxes. A new book, "Why Men Fake It: The Totally Unexpected Truth About Men And Sex" by Harvard urologist Abraham Morgentaler, takes a deeper look at this baffling phenomenon. He explained to Salon.com that, besides physical reasons (some guys just have trouble ejaculating), there are social/economic ones:

Which 'Django Unchained' Characters Best Follow Guy Code?

Posted 4/9/13 12:00 pm EST by in Celebs, Code Breakers, Movies

Quentin Tarantino's movies are pretty much for guys. Sure, "Kill Bill" and "Jackie Brown" feature badass women, but Tarantino understands the male psyche like few other filmmakers. Such is the case with MTV Movie Awards nominee "Django Unchained." But even though it's geared toward guys, not all the characters follow Guy Code. Here's an inventory of who upholds it...and who completely breaks it.

1. Django (Jamie Foxx)

The titular slave is a fiercely courageous man able to overcome his brutal past while keeping a cool head and still seeing the good in (certain) white people. Sold away from his beloved wife Broomhilda, Django's one goal is to make it back to her…though if he rights a few wrongs along the way, all the better.

2. Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz)

This German dentist and bounty hunter is a deeply moral follower of Guy Code who earns his living from rescuing slaves and killing wrongdoers. (Yeah, he hasn't exactly made a buck from dentistry in awhile.) When the good doctor hears Django's sad tale of Broomhilda, he becomes determined to mentor the man and help reunite the lost lovers. What a guy!

On the sixth season premiere of "Mad Men," Don Draper didn't commit a mere misdemeanor against Guy Code; he became a first-degree felon. We've always respected Draper--he lives by his own rules, makes a fortune, and knows how to rock a suit and order a manly cocktail--but we just can't condone his actions last night.

Consider this your spoiler alert, and read on for more about this shocking, unforgivable Code Breaker. (Well, maybe not that shocking. This is Don Draper we're talkin' about.)

Meet The Guy Who Got A Friend's Face Tattooed On His Ass

Posted 4/5/13 4:00 pm EST by in Code Breakers, Tattoos

"Guy Code" is saving one guy at a time, but we were too late to save the above British lad. (The one on the left, to be specific. You're not seeing double.) Just yesterday we explained how Ryan Cabrera broke the Code with a Ryan Gosling tattoo on his leg. Little did we know that, across the pond, a tragically misguided young man was getting his friend's face tattooed on his buttock.

In a YouTube video titled "Bros Before Hoes," now deleted for violating the site's terms of service (it also violated male friendship's terms of service), the two buddies unveil and celebrate the ass-terpiece. Good luck sealing the deal with a female ever again, mate...with the bedroom light on anyway.

As we previously mentioned, it's OK to get some guys' faces inked on your body (Jesus, 2Pac, Abraham Lincoln, your own face if you're Steve-O), but this goes too far, no matter how much a bro he is. Click below for more NSFW Code-breaking photos.

Unhinged Stevie Johnson Hopes North Korea Will Nuke Foxboro

Smack talk is an important part of sports. It amps up rivalries and adds a bit of motivation to compete. In modern times, though, insults lobbed on Twitter can, ahem, explode into a mushroom cloud of bad judgment. Case in point: Buffalo Bills' WR Stevie Johnson.

You might remember Johnson as the guy who, two years ago, mimicked Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg after catching a touchdown. Yesterday, Johnson provoked the New England Patriots, their fans, AND (wait for it) North frikkin' Korea, risking an international incident with this tweet:

stevie johnson n korea

Look, Stevie, we understand the desire to fire yourself up for your division rival. They've beaten your ass the past 12 times. Maybe you could leave nuclear warfare out of it, though? You're a professional athlete, so wishing supreme death on a fan base is a direct violation of Guy Code. Keep the trash talk trashy, not murderous.

Ryan Cabrera Breaks The Code By Getting A Gosling Tattoo

Posted 4/4/13 1:00 pm EST by in Code Breakers, Tattoos

Sometimes guys drink too much and wake up with an ill-advised tattoo. It happens to the best of us. However, Ryan Cabrera crossed the line when he got Ryan Gosling's face inked on his leg. He explained to The Las Vegas Review-Journal that his friends "like to play a game called Tattoo Roulette. We blindfold each other: 'You get to pick a tattoo for me, and I get to pick a tattoo for you.' And you don't get to see it 'til they're both done." We admire that Cabrera has no regrets, which is always a good attitude: "I'm very proud of it," he told reporters. "I consider it the Bentley of tattoos."

However, there are only six examples where it's OK to get another man's face tattooed on your body and the star of "The Notebook" isn't one of them. Sure, go ahead and get a tat of yourself like Steve-O, but not of someone else, unless it's one of these exceptions...

Maker's Mark: The Bourbon For Guys Who Love Water

Posted 2/11/13 5:00 pm EST by in Code Breakers, Food, News

See that glass of bourbon? See that glass of water? You might as well mix 'em together, because that's exactly what Maker's Mark is doing. Time to stock up on the classic formula; the new one will contain 42% alcohol, not 45%. It's like New Coke all over again, except more of a betrayal.

See, the problem is too many people are drinking too much bourbon. (We don't call that a "problem" so much as a "weekend.") Kentucky can't keep up with demand--it's now responsible for more than a third of the U.S. liquor market--and there's just not enough to go around. (All right, that's a problem.)

Maker's already raised prices; unfortunate but understandable. However, there's no excuse for diluting the supply to boost profits like a weed dealer who cuts his stash with oregano. And the company's heirs think you're a sucker who doesn't know any better.

"We have both tasted it extensively, and it's completely consistent with the taste profile our founder/dad/grandfather ... created nearly 60 years ago," the scoundrels claim. "We've also done extensive testing with Maker's Mark drinkers, and they couldn't tell a difference."

Yeah, maybe, but we can tell the difference between good honest folks who sell a quality product and greedy corporate jerk-offs who charge more for less. So the next time we order a Manhattan or Old-Fashioned, we're gonna specify Jim Beam or Knob Creek or Booker's or... wait, the same company owns all those?

Fine, we're just gonna have to brew this s*** in our bathtubs. And unlike Maker's Mark, we won't turn on the faucet.
