Comments on: An Open Letter to People Magazine

I am writing to strongly object to an article in this issue which identified the sexiest men in specific age categories: men in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, ending with Gabriel Byrne at age 59. I turned the page to find the sexiest men in their 60’s and beyond and found that the drop-off of sexy men seems to stop at 59.

This is one of the most startling examples of ageism in print that I have come across.
There are many men over the age of 59 that are sexy, but apparently not to People Magazine.

What possible excuse can you offer for such a blatant ageist blunder?

I can’t believe they chose a shot where Finn looks completely dumbfounded, Puck looks distracted, and the teach. looks like he’s going to eat you. I’ve seen way better Glee photos! … Like yours! (Ever consider freelancing?)

Here, here! My thoughts, exactly, when I discovered People had “announced the 2009 sexiest man alive.” I actually ran down to the store and waited for the first print of the mag to hit stands, fully anticipating the sight of RG’s beautiful face–the eyes you can lose yourself in–gracing the cover…. alas… I saw Johnny… Decent, yes. Sexiest Man Alive? AGAIN? No. No, no, no.

Put me on the committee to vote for 2010’s sexiest man alive. Balloting should take no time at all.

I concur!!! Spread the sexy out for one… and also, add me to the camp who just doesn;t get the appeal of JD. I am happy that I see the OTHER Ryan in a teeny tiny photo on the cover. Just hope they do not mention his wifey since I try to pretend they are not actually married (b/c unlike Rachel, I do NOT love her and feel OK about them being together) I would be all for a RG sexiest man title though. I second your nomination.

I have to agree – it just isn’t fair to all the sexy out there to keep running the same man.

I love me some Glee boys but I have to be honest, I really don’t think Finn is that cute. I do think that it’s completely ridiculous for Quinn to be lying to him about the baby.

That is so cool about that photo, I missed that post of yours. And what a neat shot of them! Gosh I love that show…

And honestly I’ve NEVER thought JD is that hot. So yeah, I don’t get that choice AT ALL. Whatever.
