OFF THE VINE: Andy! The CIA chicks! In a word: hubba-hubba!!!

<p>Vine is pleased to announce the appointment of this year's Hunk and </p><p>Babe(s) of the Year - and they are none other than our very own </p><p>publishing director, Andy Bridge, and the contingent of comely chicks </p><p>from CIA Medianetwork. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The CIA chicks were an easy choice, given their sheer numbers and the </p><p>fact that they are trained to handle heavy weaponry (did CIA regional </p><p>boss Mark Austin really think this through properly before he sent them </p><p>off on that shooting course?!). </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The hard part was choosing the Hunk of the Year, not because we were </p><p>overwhelmed by choice; quite the opposite. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>In the end, we opted for Andy for the following reasons: </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>1) He's clearly a chick magnet (Mark, you might want to keep him away </p><p>from your CIA babes); and </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>2) He's appeared more times in the picture pages of MEDIA magazine this </p><p>year than anyone else, which is not bad when you consider he's only been </p><p>in Hong Kong since June. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Anyone who accuses Vine of kissing up to our new Haymarket bosses (for </p><p>this is indeed where Andy springs from) is a cold-hearted cynic who </p><p>obviously fails to appreciate the infinite charms of the man they call </p><p>"Andy Bridge". </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>On a less sucky note, Vine has also named Renren.com boss Richard </p><p>Robinson as "Man Most Likely to Have Been Kidnapped by Aliens", although </p><p>having thought about it, he could well be one. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
