Every year, The Boston Phoenix publishes a list of the 100 Unsexiest Men of the Year, where they judge 100 males involved in everything from sports to politics to the internet. They always include several TV faces (and other body parts), and this year they've included a cartoon character.
No, not Dr. Phil, though he is a bit of a cartoon. The "doctor" is on the list, but the cartoon character I'm talking about is Quagmire, from Family Guy. The Phoenix sends a note to creator Seth MacFarlane that "nothing screams hilarity like jokes about date rape!" Giggity.
Other familiar personalities on the unsexy list include Price is Right host Drew Carey, Ryan Seacrest, Jeff Foxworthy, illusionist Criss Angel, 30 Rock's Judah Friedlander, and Donald Trump, Jr. (what, Donald himself isn't on the list? With that "hair?"). Some TV personalities aren't even in the TV category, they're over in the Media category, and they include Mike Wallace, John Gibson, Matt Lauer, and Lou Dobbs.
Dobbs not sexy? That's just crazy talk.
One names that's oddly missing is Larry King. Or maybe the editors are just seduced by those suspenders.

Man, they jump on Quagmire for date rape, but ignore Herbert, and the wonderful humor of child molestation? That hardly seems fair.
I confess I laugh at both. But at least I have the decency to feel guilty about it.

This'll sound weird. But as a guy, I don't see what got Matt Lauer on this list.
