Thirty-Four Years of Sexy Men Who Are Alive, Or Once Were
Wait. Was there no 1994?

So we've gone a little crazy with People's archive of covers — 34 years X 52-ish issues a year = too much content — and one of the better searches we've done is "Sexiest Man Alive."

There have been the classic choices — ZOMG Brad Pitt!! — but also some incredibly bad choices. For example:

• Nick Nolte (a-hem)
• Sean Connery at 60 ("Older, Balder…and Better!")
• L.A. Law's Harry Hamlin (quote: "Certainly when I look in the mirror, I don't get turned on.")
• JFK, Jr., who is dead, which makes us sad, but okay, he's still incredibly attractive

So what can we learn by perusing the archive of People's sexiest men?

First off, we learned they didn't name a sexy fella in 1994. And also:

George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Richard Gere were all honored with repeat performances , two covers each, though one of Gere's was 1993's "Sexiest Couple Alive" cover, with Cindi Crawford.

And one overall trend? People's definition of a "sexy" man seems to be white (only Denzel Washington made the exception, in 1996) and, surprisingly, "old" (seven of their choices were over the hill at 40-and-above).

And now, the Sexiest Men Alive, supposedly, from 1985 to 2007, in order:

Those colored contacts that Brad Pitt is wearing make him look like a lizard. His eyes are brown.

The top 100 sexiest men list should really be renamed the top 100 most aggresive publicists which is what it is really all about.

Worst pick ever was Matt Damon. He was cute but now he is a chubby wubby who shaves his chest. Ben Affleck is a close second.

Brad Pitt's eyes are blue unless he wore contacts as a baby.

Are they all with the same agency CAA? Pr stunts to the max. give some new actors from other agencies a chance. Oh forgot, you created possibly a monopoly? Does People magazine go with the same umbrella as CAA:Creative Artists Agency. Oh- silly me- perhaps the whole thing is rigged.
