This Week in Racially Insensitive Advertising News: the skin care company Nivea was forced to apologize yesterday after people objected to an ad that ran in the men’s magazine Esquire. The ad depicts a handsome, well-dressed black man holding a black, Afro-ed and bearded head in his hands, preparing to throw it into the distance, with the words “Look Like You Give A Damn: Re-Civilize Yourself.” Keep reading »
What’s better than one Ryan Gosling? Two! My chances of making him my real boyfriend instead of just my dream celebrity boyfriend would double if only this Esquire cover was a reality. Sigh. [Crushable] Keep reading »
Really, Esquire? Someone posting to the magazine’s Twitter feed tweeted a link to an article earlier today which read, “How to get a better blowjob than DSK – we think.” DSK, of course, is Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, who is accused of forcing a hotel maid to perform oral sex on him. Wouldn’t any blowjob that doesn’t involve forcing yourself on someone be a “better blowjob”? Does that mean this is an article about how not to sexually assault someone? Your readers need that?
This tweet has since been deleted from Esquire‘s Twitter feed, but was screengrabbed by Jezebel blogger Irin Carmon. Esquire followed up with a tweet which reads, “Sometimes our sense of humor doesn’t come out the way we intend. Sorry if an earlier tweet offended anyone.” I’m hoping the initial tweet came from a social media intern who didn’t know any better and is getting their wrist slapped right about now.

The guys at Esquire have published a fantastic listicle for their male readers giving them 10 ways they can show the ladies in their lives their love. Unlike some of those insipid lists over at Men’s Health (remember this one? Or this one? Or this one?!), this is one we can actually give a big thumbs-up to. Take number one, for example: Make a decision. Yes, yes, yes! Guys, this is number one for a reason. When you make decisions, it shows you’re confident, and confidence, as any woman will attest to, is hot. Keep reading »

Barbie had a million jobs, but did we ever really know what Ken did? With that head of hair, of course he’s a model. This month, Ken is tricked out in teeny, tiny men’s fall fashions for Esquire UK. We pity the assistant who tailored that miniature Gucci duffle bag! [Esquire UK] Keep reading »
Esquire is looking to find the best-dressed “real man” in America, and they’ve narrowed the field down to 25 finalists, all of whom I’d sleep with, given the opportunity. So now you get to cruise the guys — I mean vote for your choice of best-dressed hottie. Right now, I’m liking Noah S., who is not afraid of color, Shawn S., who is one dapper dude, and Jason Y., who is fly. Who’s your favorite? Could your man compete with these dudes, clothing-wise?

So, the pretentious nerds/tools who work at Esquire got together and decided that Christina Hendricks — who, duh, plays Joan Holloway on “Mad Men” — is the most “good-looking” woman in the world. Adriana Lima and Megan Fox came in second and third. Look, I love me some Christina Hendricks and would not kick her outta bed for eating crackers, but if Esquire thinks she is so super good-looking, why did they Photoshop her cover image to look like Julianne Moore? Just wondering. [Celebutopia] Keep reading »
“What I’ve come to realize is that when people say, ‘The thinking man’s whatever’ — there’s no such thing. The thinking man also wants to f**k Megan Fox.”
— Tina Fey succinctly tells Esquire she’s not buying the whole “thinking man’s…” description assigned to her. [via Huffington Post] Keep reading »
