Shirtless thieves give 'Sunset' its sex appeal

By Robyn Abzug · Thursday, Nov. 11, 2004

Print advertisements are full of both subliminal messages and blatant images. Sex sells, and a prime example of that is Brett Ratner's new movie, "After the Sunset."

This is where I come in. I am going to do my part to feed the hungry hordes of students. How can I do this, you ask? Well, you see, I have connections in the food industry.
