Yep, we’re going to see endless year-end lists from here until January, but some lists are indeed more enjoyable than their would-be peers. For example, an STDs Of The Year 2007 list is worthy of less coverage than the GQ Men Of The Year 2007 list. Speaking of the latter, Daniel Craig has been classified as “Leading Man” of the year. A sampling of the rest of the GQ’s Honorees follows:
Javier Bardem (Villain), Josh Brolin (Tough Guy), James McAvoy: (English Import)
Seth Rogen (Father) & Daria (Supermodel), Jason Schwartzman (Cool Kid),
Casey Affleck (Breakout — This dude should have won.)
Simon Cowell: (Mastermind — wtf?), Judd Apatow and His Gang (Comedy Mafia),
John Cusack: (Comeback)
It should be noted that not all of the Honorees have gone over without controversy. Sondra K. alleges a lack of stated criteria on behalf of GQ’s selection committee, but hey, she has a thong picture posted on her website.
The full list of GQ’s Honorees can be found over yonder.

Well there’s my luck altogether. In my twenties I had the craggy face of an alcoholic and associated character flaws that usually sent me home with a bag on my head. I suppose I would have been a hit if I fast-forwarded thirty years because – I gotta tell you – when a guy who looks like Vladimir Putin makes a GQ list, there is NO justice on the earth anymore.
Holy crap, you’re right!
It * is * a damned fine thong picture too.
Ok, I just checked your “drool” category and I am appalled. You have the Mole Man and that ape surfer dude from Contact but no picture of me!
So, I need to put a Flea fanpage up.
Like that wouldn’t freak you out at all?
Javier Bardem can do me anytime.
