Just So You Know…
…people who look like this guy really, really piss me off.
Mario Lopez was born in 1973, which means that on his birthday this year, he’ll actually be 35.
That also means that the infamous slowing metabolism that strikes in the thirties either hasn’t hit him, yet, or that he has some unimaginable obsession with working out.
He, like nearly every other celebrity these days, is about to release a new book on fitness. The cynic in me suspects that the majority of people who buy this book are doing so just to drool over him in his shirtless glory.
I hope they enjoy themselves.
I, on the other hand, find myself particularly amused by the red balloon on the cover, which reads, “The Six-Week Plan for Sculpting Your BEST BODY EVER.”
You know, if I thought I could look like that in six weeks, I’d go to every book store in Charleston and buy every copy I could find.

Ah, but it doesn’t say you could look like that, does it? It says you could have your best body ever. Not that ‘out there’ a claim.

Now, it might just be a little sour grapes on my part, but that honestly looks like a crappy photoshopping. The texture of the skin, the angle of his head. . . at the very least a good bit of tweaking has gone on. Also, for heaven’s sake Slater, pull up your pants.
I’m sure he’s fit, but not many people look like that.

Yuck. I’m as hetero as I can be, but this photo–and those on other books of this ilk–gross me out! Yuck.
So, Patrick, I’m assuming that you don’t look like that, and are therefore not yucky-looking.
