So there I was in the supermarket checkout line when I saw the People magazine Sexiest Man Issue. I had no plans to buy it, but since Johnny Depp was on the cover I decided to look through it and on the very first page was the image above. I was totally repulsed by it. I was even more repulsed by turning the page and finding out it was an ad for GMC and the slogan was Ideas are sexy too or something like that. Ideas from GMC? If they had ideas maybe they wouldn't have needed to be bailed out by the taxpayers. Possibly they have ideas and just don't ever do anything with them? Back to the image, just for starters, I don't find men with their undies hanging out to be sexy -- I think they look stupid. Also, Einstein doesn't need to be sexy because of his body or the way he dresses because he had what every woman really wants - a big brain. OK, probably just me, but I find it disgusting in a way that I can't even totally describe, so of course I had to share my disgust with you.

I more or less agree with your commentary about how this image was used. That said, the image taken alone, is pretty funny.

Really! Who'da thunk Einstein was gay!
I know that it should be funny and normally I have a good sense of humor, but for some reason it still disgusts me and I am not totally sure why. Maybe because it is kind of gangsta looking, as though that is the ideal of sexy?
Alfred, I think you are onto something maybe gangstas are just repressed homosexuals, it would explain a lot of their behavior. I think we are going to find the Fort Hood killings had a lot more to do with religious repressed homosexuality than terrorism.
Pretty nice blog you've got here. Thanks for it. I like such themes and anything connected to them. I would like to read more on that blog soon.
Truly yours
