Terrence Howard’s Hot Speedo “Pride”

Not since "Swimfan" have we been treated to so much deliciously wet and bulging PG-13 eye candy as we just were when a commercial for Lionsgate's upcoming feel-good sports movie "Pride" flashed across our TV screen while we were sitting here watching "As The World Turns" in our underwear catching up on essential Fleshbot pop culture research. But instead of an all-vanilla tale of suburban high school obsession, "Pride" "tells the inspiring story of Jim Ellis, a charismatic schoolteacher in the 1970s who changed lives forever when he founded an African-American swim team in one of Philadelphia's roughest neighborhoods". Will uberhottie Terrence Howard's team triumph over racial adversity? Will he earn another Oscar nomination next year for Best Male Performance In A Teeny-Tiny And Really Tight Pair Of Bathing Trunks? And will a certain team member's "boys" fit into those Speedos? You'll have to wait until the movie opens in two weeks to find out. (Meanwhile, we're sure that title is, like, totally a coincidence. After all, it's not like the gays are into watching a bunch of semi-naked guys with perfect abs and sleek, hairless bodies get wet and bond with each other or anything.)
