For the past several months a couple community members—a “Mrs. Knoxville” and “Bessie” to be precise*—took it upon themselves (and tried forcing several others) to get Johnny Knoxville ranked number one on mancrush.com. Well, they finally did it and here’s the proof of their online guerrilla efforts. No mean feat, either, seeing as they had seemingly insurmountable odds going up against “Jesus Christ” and “God” (technically these are the one and same divine being if you’re of the Christian persuasion, but I shan’t get into the believed to be Triune details at present). Anyway, am I alone here in finding this site somewhat confusing? I mean, if you have a “man crush” on someone, doesn’t that technically mean you’re of a same sex nature? And if that’s the homosexual case, then is it really true that all these dudes have a crush on Jesus? Yeah, he is a supreme being, no doubt there, but what exactly is it? The long, wavy hair with naturally golden halo highlights? The light olive-skinned complexion? Flowing robes cut from a swaddly and cuddly cloth? All I know for sure is that it can’t be a foot thing, because any guy that goes walking around an arid climate in flip-flops for 33 years is going to have some seriously muffed up feet. But Winston Churchill … now there’s a man’s man.
* As well as Shannon and Kelly, I’m now being told, but I don’t think they ever pestered me as much as the other two.
