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.

Quezon City, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – In Hollywood, we have the fashion police. In the Philippines, the police are fashionable.

Today, the Philippine National Police (PNP) unveiled the new uniform that will be donned by all members of the police force. It is a design that combines several fashion ideas put forward by some of the country’s top designers, the same artists that design gowns for beauty pageant contestants, movie stars and political matrons.

In soliciting ideas for a new police uniform, PNP asked designers for ideas that would take into account the hot and humid temperature in most cities and towns in the Philippines, as well as the beer bellies characteristic of most police officers.

“The PNP pretty much concedes that many police officers are unable to shed off the extra pounds or shrink their mid-sections since accepting bribes or extorting money to help support their beer and appetizer addictions has become the norm,” a PNP spokesperson said.

The new design fulfills PNP’s requirements as it uses a cooler cotton material and lighter color while creating the illusion of flat bellies with its untucked design.

The lighter color also helps generate clearer closed circuit television (CCTV) photos and videos of police officers who try to extort money from innocent drivers or pedestrians.
