It would seem that no news is good news. And announcing that People Magazine has named Matthew McConaughey as "sexiest man alive" is definitely not newsworthy.

Not to be outdone however, objectification notwithstanding, I thought I would make my pick for sexiest man - who happens to be Canadian- alive: CBC's Ian Hanomansing. Brilliant and gorgeous.

Keep in mind, Canada is a country that counted Pierre Trudeau as a sex symbol. Which says something about straight/bisexual Canadian women and gay/bisexual Canadian men - we like men who can rub a plentitude of brain cells together.

My Runner ups:
Tyler Stewart from BareNaked Ladies because I think that he's funnier than Stephen Page - give me dry wit any day.

Kevin Sylvester, also of CBC. He is the only sportcaster I know who can quote Ovid AND expound upon issues of racism in sports -in the same sportscast, mind - without sounding pretentious. And he can draw -- now that is sexy.
