I know the running joke is that all boy bands are gay. Yeah, yeah, Lance Bass, yadda yadda. But just imagine for a moment that you set out intending to form a gay pop group. And instead of a boy band, it was a man band. A hairy man band.

There are many puns on ‘bear,’ slang for a hairy gay man. But ‘Bear Force One’ has to be among the best, at least as far as band names go. Based out of Amsterdam, it’s amazing these non-native bears got their paws on such a perfect phrase. Clearly, there must be a Simon Cowell-like producer somewhere behind the scenes pulling, um, strings.

Be sure to check out the Bear Force One MySpace photo gallery for additional pastel+hairy chest fashion fixes.
