Other than becoming a real life Homeland storyline, there wasn't much to interest run-of-the-treadmill gays in the hetero affair scandal that lead to David Petraeus's resignation.

Until talk of a shirtless photo from an FBI agent involved in the investigation entered the picture, that is. 

Check out the shirtless photo of FBI Agent Fred Humphries that has the whole world talking after the jump!

We're curious. The Huffington Post brought this exhibition, titled "Asylum" by gay photographer/filmmake Alexander Kargaltsev to our attention.

In it, Kargaltsev captures Russian gay male asylum seekers that have escaped violence and discrimination in their country. The men have been shot naked against famous New York backdrops. 

The exhibit's curator, Ivan Savvine says of the work: "The models' nakedness is a powerful visual statement imbued with symbolism. They are not nude but naked, for they had courage to shed the many layers of fear and come out to the world uncovered, vulnerable, yet proud."

So here's our question: is this a legitimate commentary or just an excuse to get some hot Russian guys naked? You be the judge.&n...

House Rep. Paul Ryan and Vice President Joe Biden are scheduled to come to blows tonight during the Vice Presidential debate and some trickster decided to try to distract us from the issues. 

We're insulted that they think we'd be so shallow as to take our minds off of the pressing issues facing our nation to ogle the Republican VP candidate in a veritable beefcake photoshoot!

It takes a lot more than that for us to take our eyes off the prize! (Meaning he should at the very least be pantless.) With that said, commence ogling after the jump.
