London, Great Britain (The Adobo Chronicles) – A newly-released British survey shows that women prefer men with big bellies.

Three out of four women said that they would rather have a man with love handles than one who has a six pack. According to those surveyed, men with beer bellies have better personalities and that men who are in good body shape spend more time in the gym than with their significant others.

The survey was conducted to mark the DVD release of the film “Bad Neighbors” which stars Zac Efron as a buff college boy and Seth Rogan, as a chubby family man.

Soon after results of the survey were made public, bars and clubs in London and other parts of Europe reported a sharp increase in their beer sales, while gyms and health clubs have noticed a decline in memberships.

While this phenomenon just started being noticed in Europe, many believe that it will spread quickly to other continents, thanks to the survey.

MICROSOFT, APPLE ENGAGE IN CONDOM WAR (PARENTAL GUIDANCE)

Redmond, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles) – Microsoft’s Bill Gates has announced that his foundation has awarded a $100,000 grant to a university in Australia to research and produce skin-like condoms as a way to encourage more people to have safer sex, thus reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases.

Gates said he understands that the overwhelming objection to the use of condoms is the fact that sex partners can’t feel the true sensation they otherwise would get from unprotected sex. The skin-like condoms are expected to be ultra thin while still being break-free.

Reacting to the news, Microsoft’s main competitor Apple said that it will purchase the skin-like condoms in bulk to use in the manufacture of its next generation iPhone and iPads. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the skin-like condoms would make for effective and durable film for its iPhone and iPad screens. “They would make touch screen technology a true state-of-the-art while still affording mobile device users the ability to feel the natural sensation of the finger touch,” Cook said.
