I chose to read the article because I wanted, not to read your contributors rattle off names I expected, but to see whether I agreed with any selections. I suspect many readers did the same. And I wanted to see whether any names I guessed would be included were, in fact, selected.
Peter Sarsgaard was a very nice surprise. Alec Baldwin - definitively sexy, but, ho-hum: you've told us this over and over. But suicide as sexiness? A woman as sexiest man? Who are half these guys? Introduce me to them for their talents and substance when you can dedicate space to them... not by telling me you're hot for them.
Shameless self-indulgence. Name-droppers. This article reminds me of the high-school students who raved about "unknown" or underground bands, but once those bands gained popularity, the students cried "sell-out!"
The "us" in "...who really drive us mad" is narrowly limited to the contributors to the article, and not to the Salon community as a whole. Once a premium member, I cancelled last year when content bored me and didn't teach me anything more. Still cancelled.
