True Bromance

Perhaps you are not aware of the term "Bromance". I don't see that as unusual. It has slipped into parlance and quickly (oh, so quickly) into annoyance.
.
It is likely to be used by young men too dumb to know how stupid they sound and by Esquire Readers who aspire to be Details readers, but think Details paints them as too queer.
.
So, Bromance, for those of you lucky enough not to be acquainted with it yet, is a deep male friendship. A statement of non-sexual love between guys.
.
The most famous Bromance was (from the picture above) Ben and Ronnie from Make Me a Supermodel. Ronnie had a total crush on Ben and vice versa. The catch was the Ben was straight and Ronnie was gay. And they totally full on mashed during some fashion shoots (yes, the world is going to hell in a hand basket, but more on that below).
.
So Bromance is hot right now. And Ryan Seascrest is thinking... What else is hot right now.
.
Brody Jenner.
.

Like Bromance, you may not have heard of Brody Jenner. This is even more understandable than not hearing of Bromance. Brody Jenner is the son of Bruce Jenner (the Decathalete), but the class of the family skipped Brody. And if you have seen Bruce Jenner's horrible face-lift, you would know there isn't a lot of class available in the first place.
.
Brody has been desperately trying to become famous by being famous. Really.
.
He has starred in a couple reality shows (one about the Jenner Boys, one just about trying to be famous). He is seen kissing (or sucking the life out of) Paris Hilton, Lindsy Lohan and the rest of the Star Magazine pre-Rehab line up.
.
His my space page has him listed as The Price of Malibu (the title of one of his reality shows) and his occupation as Hustler. See, I was right about the class-ee huh?
.
Well MTV has a new show (MTV Show) produced by Ryan Seacrest in which 6 "regular guys" from around the country compete to hang with Brody. Brody is looking for (wait for it) true bromance. I particularly like the "regular guy" part, as if Brody is part of a race of new Ubermen.
.
And the stay or go ceremony takes place in a (where else) hot tub in the Jenner Pad. Because no one wants a bromance with a fatty.
.
Will the last person with a sense of shame please turn off the lights on your way out.
