The Sexiest Archaeologist 2007

Simcha Jacobovici, the Naked Archaeologist. His shows are thoughtful and his personality is fun. His body doesn't look too bad either.

The Hiphopopotamus and the Rhymenoceros

I say yea to Flight of the Conchords!

Whew, I finally stopped wretching long enough to write this

What in the hell?!?!

For a mag that's supposed to be so hip, this was too much information of the wrong kind. Eeeeeeyeech!

And Joan, you broke my heart, you really did!

Agghh! I may never look at any of you the same way again. I may go off on a spiritual quest to deepest Africa, like Conrad's Kurtz, just to wash this article out of my head.

Anderson Cooper? Really?!?

Surprised

2 guys are not on the list

Steven Colbert

Anthony Bourdain

Then again, I'm a guy.

Salon goes Cosmo

1. Don't mind the story, if there was balance and a similar story about women we find sexiest.

2. However, just another indication that Salon is getting less serious and having less serious articles by the week.

3. Was an original Premium member but no longer and I visit often and am see no reason to begin. The editorial choices are sometimes just unbelievable. Fun is good, if it balances out the serious material; the balance seems more 'Life' channel with every passing week. Not bad if that is the audience you are trying to attract.

Raising Old Country Men

I'm in excited agreement with most of these choices, but I was so hoping for at least one Coen brother.

Awesome

I'm not gay, but I appreciate the Tony Leung and Jeffrey Wright love.

Sexiest Salon columnist

I'd like to nominate Cary Tennis as the sexiest Salon columnist alive.

Clearly no opera fans among you.....

Otherwise there would've been no way to leave Erwin Schrott off the list. The man is amazing, especially in Don Giovanni. Terfel is often funny and deliberately almost buffoonish in the role; Schrott is power, overwhelming sexuality, and evil.

Ira Glass? Meh

If you were living in Chicago when the pledge-begging became the Ira Glass show, you wouldn't find him particularly sexy either.

Bruce Springsteen

He gets better every year.

Wednesday, November 14, 2007 07:47 PM

Not a terrible list....

but my favorite was Jacques Pepin. The man is an artist. An artist of economy. In a good way.

Now, I have to ask: but what about Rupert Everett and Alan Rickman? Or am I showing my age?

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan. Watch him in Dhoom 2 and sigh for him forever after. (The movie is tacky but he's great.)

Wednesday, November 14, 2007 07:27 PM

short memory

how can salon name ira glass as sexiest man when salon was the first to reveal to us what a dick he is, in Lynda Barry's "My Worst Boyfriend"? (clearly about mr. glass.)

also everyone knows owen wilson is not tortured, just a junkie. junkiies are not sexy!

john hamm IS sexy though.

Good! Then I get Nico Muhly all to myself then!!

As a Cubs fan, all I can say is: Wait till next year!!
