    some of us read the chicago version and survive. my friend is a suntimes sports reporter and I have tried to discuss modern alternatives to his career. Why does everyone in journalism refuse to accept that all business models are changing and people need to adapt?

    @sweetcaroline: Why does everyone in journalism refuse to accept that all business models are changing and people need to adapt?


    Because people -- almost all of them outside the business -- have been saying basically that about journalism ("Business models are changing! The marketplace is being reborn! The very bonds between particles are undergoing a quantum shift! Synergy!") ever since non-repro blue pencils were invented.


    Admittedly, the paradigm-shift stuff is true once in a great while, but the hit rate is generally low. So while I agree that it probably is true this time, I nevertheless cut journalists a lot of slack for their natural skepticism, which has probably served them well many times in the past.

    as something of a conisseur of men (which is a nice way of saying whore), he just doesn't read as 'smouldering' to me. I'm going to have to go with delectable, or better yet - yumalicious.

    Later, in the comments...


    He's hands-down adorable. And smart enough to understand the concept of being overexposed, which is no small feat for a working, but struggling, actor. He may have just overtaken George Clooney as the perfect man, but I'd have to know more about his views on things like Darfur and Rick Warren to be certain of that.

    Why are all the hot, nice guys gay? Not fair at all. We need his type on my team.


    I say good for him, though. He deserves kudos galore. Have you seen those subway tracks?

    @OrneryBabe: this is one of those things that people say that makes me crazy. yes, you're right -- all gay men are handsome and nice, and all straight men as unattractive self involved jerks who only think about sex. also, blondes are slutty, brunettes are smart, and lesbians are always butch.

    Fuck that. He's totally hot, and his ambivalence about all of this Internet fame just makes him hotter. He's like the opposite of Julia Allison. I hope he gets 80 blowjobs this weekend.

    So he's an actor who can't even handle a somewhat tepid review? Should he ever get a scathing one he would probably need to go into therapy full time.
