Let’s face it – there are more wall calendars that exist of Asian women than Asian men, and the Asian male calendars we have seen around are marketed less for the ladies and more for, say, your closeted high school vice-principal. But the new Asian Pacific Male 2010 calendar goes a different direction as far as treating Asian males as the sex objects we’re not used to being: think less Asian men sitting in a bubble bath or sitting on an operating dryer and more standing in the LA Hills, wearing half of a BMX outfit. With proceeds to benefit the Asian Pacific Health Care Venture (APHCV) of Los Angeles, the calendar looks to be perfect gift for white girls that hang out in anime conventions, your closeted high school vice-principal and — oh yeah — Asian women.
