So, if you have not yet heard, People named Blake Shetlton its “Sexiest Man Alive.” I know. Everyone had pretty much the same reaction.
Choosing the decidedly, non-objective, very truly not-sexiest-man-alive Blake Shelton has left us all with a lot of questionsIs this what “Sexiest Man Alive” means in Trump’s America? Do we have the same definition of “sexy”? Is reality just a perception and everyone else’s idea of reality is different from the next person’s?
The internet is not happy with this decision, either.
How can you trust straight people when they chose Blake Shelton as the sexiest among them

Best option: Blake Shelton resigns as Sexiest Man Alive, creating new vacancy and do over. Gov appoints Idris Elba, schedules new primaries/general. New vacancy = new process.

Blake Shelton is a man and he’s alive.
That’s all the credit he’s getting from me.
