CRIPS HAVE BALLS!

We are sat behind our work PC and a line of naked guys are on our screen in full view of everyone. We can explain, no really we can!

Look, we googled 'Cripendales' for today's story and, you know if you miss-spell a word Google automatically gives you a second option? Well, it thought we meant 'Chippendales', which we clicked by mistake and then went to the male strippers homepage and..

You aren't falling for this are you?

We think it's better if we quickly move on and tell you about the Cripendales which are a group of strippers with disabilities. The film was shown on Channel 4 this Tuesday and follows a group of lads doing the full monty despite of their disabilities.

Lee Kemp is paralyzed from the waist down and is determined to for-fill his naked ambition. After encouraging his mates to attend auditions the Crips finally make the center stage in front of 200 tanked up women plucked from The Adonis Cabaret who are enjoying a hen night. The crunch is, will these women be happy seeing disabled guys getting naked?

The film was previewed in London last October and received good positive feedback, especially from disability groups. It also has a catchy little tag line 'They might not have legs, but do they have the balls?'. A couple of months later the film found itself being screened in the States at the New York Film Festival.

Havana Marking is the film director was adamant that the film should had been made to bring sexuality with disabled guys shouldn't be ignored.

The five brave guys were trained in London by choreographer Jo King who works at the London School of Striptease. One of the groups who enjoyed a private screening were from 'Different Strokes' who, we think are a group of survivors who have suffered strokes. However with a name like that and a movie with naked men - it may mean something completely different, don't you think?

Now, back to that Chippendales site...
