Current mood:energetic

Abandon hope, all ye who enter here!
So women dot com (a site that makes me despair for my sex... their front-page news includes speculation about Lindsay Lohan's boob job and a 'to-do' list with entries like 'have more sex' and 'get a hot body') is having a poll... who is the sexiest man in music? Wank bait at its finest!

Enter the Grobanites, wankers at their finest. Helenadutoit discovers the poll, and since Josh Groban is on the list, she decides to make a holy quest out of it... fourteen pages of messageboard thread later, it's everybody's holy quest. Since the FoJG messageboard cannot be accessed without a $50 membership (don't you say a word), I took the liberty of uploading the pages to my own webspace for your perusal.

Page One - upon which Helena declares her quest with much misuse of the capslock key

Page Two - upon which Hamiltonfriend declares her dislike of 50 Cent and sallyjjrose has some sort of siezure

Page Three - upon which everybody spreads the word, and KaraokeQueen ponders Jimmy Wayne

Page Four - upon which Joni screams a whole lot

Page Five - upon which dramaqueen demonstrates that she cannot even spell 'Josh', but some admittedly very sexy photographs are posted (I can fangirl with the best of 'em, dammit)

Page Six - upon which KimmySwimmy and Joni do not seem to understand the idea of IP logging and there is much bump-upping.

Page Seven - upon which helenadutoit states that she doesn't need a 'life' if she can just vote for Josh all day.

Page Eight - upon which there is more bumpupping and sexy photographs.

Page Nine - more bumpupping and photos. Perhaps it's almost over...

Page Ten - upon which pecklyn finally notices that you can't actually vote more than once, Joni dismisses it, and ginnygo labours under the impression that Josh will (a) ever see the results of this poll and (b) remotely care.

Page Eleven - upon which there is bumpuppage and fangirlese.

Page Twelve - upon which shirleyma congratulates everybody for their dedication.

Page Thirteen - upon which somebody finally looks at something on that website besides the poll. But since the something in question is an article about Josh, the order of the universe is not disrupted.

Page Fourteen - upon which Barbee fails to read the very first post in the entire thread and there are many emoticons.

Page Fifteen - upon which yehamema declares war on the fans of Nick Lachey.

Page Sixteen - upon which people with long and colourful sig blocks sink into despair.

That has to be the most bizarre poll ever designed. Save possibly for Sting, they picked so many unattractive, plain, nondescript men that Groban almost wins by default.

Sadly, I wouldn't even known who Josh Grobin IS if not for F_W

Okay, apparently I live in a box.

I haven't seen pictures of Groban before, but going by that picture on women.dot (scary place!) I don't really understand how titles like "sexy" or "handsome" can be applied.

I haven't heard his music either, so no opinion on that front.

So one of them claims to be the keeper of his house key, his bath towel and his official hair washer? Isn't that a little creepy?

I noticed fans proclaiming themselves to be the official keepers of whatever on the Karl Urban board, too. (Further encouragement for me to avoid the place.) Do all celeb fans do this?

"I THINK SOMETHING IS FISHY HERE. I CHECKED LAST NIGHT BEFORE I WENT TO BED AND JOSH WAS WAY WAY WAY AHEAD. NOW HE'S WAY WAY WAY BEHIND. ALL IN A MATTER OF 6 HOURS. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS PICTURE."

Because, like, no other fandom boards anywhere would think to pimp the vote or anything.

You're all missing the real obscenity here.

Namely that the OBVIOUS sexiest man in music, or at least on THAT list (Mr Jack White) currently has less than one percent of the vote.

I notice a conspicuous absence of both Christian Lorenz and Geddy Lee on their sexy men of music list. Ergo, they cannot be taken seriously.


"Here is the link again, sorry I should post it more, but it is on the 1st page of the thread."

She wants the vote so badly she'll apologize to a moron. Grobanites scare me. And since my music fandom regularly molests its own and sets itself on fire, that's saying something.

" I completely agree.. I was stunned ! I will be voting just as much as possible today and have encouraged others to do the same. I just wish this would END... I was afraid everybody would get complacent, but I never anticipated THIS !"

Because we're the ONLY fandom OUT there. How can there BE other VOTES?

Bonus points for "I wish this would just end" drama.

So women dot com (a site that makes me despair for my sex... their front-page news includes speculation about Lindsay Lohan's boob job and a 'to-do' list with entries like 'have more sex' and 'get a hot body')

Somehow, I expect a site named 'women.com' to be about, y'know, WOMEN and not fashion trends and hot looks and sex. But maybe it's just me.

Oh dear god. If that stupid, insipd waste of web space they call woman.com wasn't enough to make me want to poke myself in the eye with an oyster fork, we've got the GROBANITES. IN. ALL. CAPS. AND really big and colorful fonts. Oh my.
You'd think the guy was the freaking messiah or something.
My favorite line:
"That's a little better, but can we show Josh how much we REALLY care ... he's up to 22.05%, but the Grobanites can get Josh WAY higher than that because WE CARE !"

You know, it scares me enough when people my age get all fangirly.

But women who are older than my mother getting fangirly? Weird. Women older than my mother who are more fangirly than your typical teenage fangirl? Insane. INSANE!

I could name 12 artists way more sexy than those dudes. And Fitty Cent? Yeah. No. Getting shot a million times does not make you sexy. And actually, I wouldn't describe any of those guys as sexy (except maybe Sitng), cute, yeah, but not sexy.

So. I deem the poll void? Or haven't I been granted that power yet?

When they do these stupid "Sexiest Men" polls, aren't the people in them usually supposed to be sexy?

That "Chingy" guy, for one, looks kind of like he was backed over by a cement truck.

Where the hell's Dave Grohl? I mean, come on--the man fellates the mic while he sings, and writes songs that sound angsty but are actually about how much he loves to give oral sex. And he has a sense of humor. That's sexy! Come on people! Nick Lachey? Gah.

It could be just me, but there's something weird about this poll...

Image

Because...um. Do they not know the basics of how a bar graph works? Shouldn't the ones with a smaller percentage have, oh, I don't know, smaller bars?

I have been staring at this for five minutes now trying to figure it out. I'm seriously starting to wonder if I'm hungover, and if so, how I managed to get that way without any of the fun of drinking beforehand.
