heavy.com - Videos for Men by Men

Heavy is a site by men for men, sort of like the Man Show or Howard Stern. They post videos (usually featuring scantily clad women or comedy or stunts or fast motors), allow users to post videos (of the same type mentioned above), and let the best rise to the top based on viewer ratings. Recently, they added a social networking feature that allows you to create Heavy profiles where you can upload your own videos, create your own video channel and meet new friends. The site looks corporate and professional, with sponsorship by major corporations, but the videos took a long time to download. Overall, this site caters to a key consumer demographic of males in young to middle adulthood and draws heavy traffic.
