Oh My Gods!
Dieux du Stade (Gods of the Stadium) is the title of several highly popular calendars first published in 2001, featuring nude and semi-nude photographs of members of the Stade Français, a Paris-based domestic French rugby team. In more recent years, players from other rugby union clubs and athletes from other sports have also been included.
The calendars have black-and-white nude, erotic and sometimes homoerotic photographs of the players. Partial profits go to charities. The first edition in 2001 sold around 15,000 copies. In 2009 sales passed the 200,000 mark, and all records may be broken with the upcoming tenth (2010) edition in which, according to the press hype, the Gods are showing more than ever before.
This "making of" video may be NSFW in environments where bare bottocks, stray balls and buckets of (cold?) water are considered indecent.
