While a Johnny Knoxville cover does not a copycat make, it's worth noting that Out's Johnny Knoxville September cover, like Genre's July 2005 Knoxville cover, was actually preceded by The Advocate October 2004 Knoxville cover. Not that plastering the 13-24-year-old box office demographic savior on the cover of your magazine means you're immediately on the level of Ann Coulter plagiarism – if that were true, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, Glamour, Us Weekly, Cosmo, InStyle, and Elle should all be sitting down for a Matt Lauer interview right about – but in the realm of gay journalism, how many times can we recycle a reality TV star's V-shaped torso? Silly homos, always trying to out-gay each other.
