Do you remember last month when Maxim announced their 2007 Hot 100 list? If you're like me, you were just about outraged that someone (anyone!) still thought good ol' Lindsay "Firecrotch" Lohan was the hottest woman in the world. Clearly the editors of Maxim were just phoning in that list. They've surely spent the last two years obsessively watching Lost and just slapped a list together at the last minute. I'll bet they took a big pile of "guess the boobies" flash cards, threw them in the air, and built their list to match the order in which they picked them up.
Then today I check their site to find exactly when that ill-considered list was announced and I see this:
"We know you naturally fear women?" What the fuck are these people talking about? I know they're trying to be funny, but even pretending to cater to readers who fear women erodes their credibility when they're proselytizing on what is, and is not, hot.
Fuck that. We need a better list than what those boners have come up with, like the new one from AfterEllen.com. After Ellen is billed as "News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media." Right on! They don't fear women, they love women!
Let's check out their list:
