Kevin "Dot Com" Brown and I talked about his prospects for the presidency next year, and we announced him as Maxim's official candidate.
Who should I interview next? I've got to devise some more content.
Comment
Kindly consider "manliest" in this circumstance to mean "Likeliest to kill you with their sugary assault on your pancreas," and you'll have a fine time reading my latest Maxim post. If you survive, congratulations, you're a man. A man with diabetes, but a man.
Two new Maxim posts:
--Background Check scores its first interview. I questioned up-and-coming actress Skyler Vallo (a.k.a. the "Ride that Spicy Chicken!" girl from Jack in the Box commercials and Hot Girl in 2012's The To-Do List) about junk food. I ask the hard-hitting questions other journalists are scared to tackle.
--Then we commemorated Veteran's Day with a congratulatory article on the men of Montford Point -- the first black U.S. Marines. They put up with all the usual Marine basic training crap plus a racism sandwich piled high with hate, and showed their detractors wrong. I love these guys. "Real America" isn't any one place or culture, it's the folks who stand up and contribute despite external and internal obstacles.
Favorite deleted line, re: minister-turned-super-soldier Sgt.Maj. Gilbert "Hashmark" Johnson: "Alas, his destiny was not to bring men to God, but send them to Him."
It had to go, but it deserved to live.
Guyspeed is a subset of TownSquareMedia, for whom I used to write "Crush of the Day" and that Fresh Prince infographic over at TheFW. When Lindsay Lohan posed for Playboy, they asked me to create some more relevant magazines she could appear in if they only had a million-dollar budget.
I think there's a whole article in it--and we had some we didn't use--so I'll probably do something with them for National Lampoon or Cracked if I can find a way to make it different enough to justify and funny enough to be worth it. Because you're not my sloppy seconds, Cracked, you're my muse.
I think what I like best about my job, apart from everything, is that it pays me to flirt with beautiful women. So here's an interview with porn-star-turned-actress Sasha Grey about her new film, I Melt with You. It is not at all pornographic, even though she does disrobe for a threesome. The saddest threesome ever. In fact, it may only occur in a dying man's brain. So you see, internet, only the worst among you will dare fantasize about it. I enjoyed the film, is what I'm getting at.
I'm making a big run on interviews at Dirty Briefs this month. Wednesday I hope to have a piece with Kevin "Dotcom" Brown for you. I don't expect to flirt with him, even though he's a very likable guy. Beyond that, you've got Skyler Vallo coming up, and hopefully Gail Simone.
Also, on Friday, expect a special Veteran's Day edition of Profiles in Manlitude.
