NBC Debuts “Chicago Fire”, Kind Of Like Gay Porn

There's a lot of things to consider when deciding which new television shows you're going to commit to this fall. Like most of you, 'skin factor' plays a major role in piquing our interest in the primetime lineup. And because not every show can have as much dick as True Blood or more half-nude tweens than Glee, we've grown to appreciate the torso on television as much as dick in dirty movies.

NBC debuted the new series Chicago Fire last Wednesday, and we're still in awe over the amount of half-naked beefcakes a major network managed to squeeze into a pilot episode. Like most firefighters we see on TV (except for Denis Leary), these studs are jacked, stacked, and pleasuring women in the shower. Ugh.

They're not shirtless because shit is on fire. They're shirtless because the women and gay men that comprise the "Females, Age 24-32" category need this kind of shit to survive. How are we expected to keep calm in a burning building if we haven't familiarized ourselves with fire safety protocol by jerking off to Taylor Kinney's bare chest?

The city of Chicago is lucky that Taylor isn't a firefighter in real life. If he were, we'd totally set the town ablaze just to stop, drop, and roll onto this man's body.

Here are the slutty shirtless firefighters of NBC's Chicago Fire:
