Thanked: 0GQ Really?
Ok, someone help me out here. When your own mother calls you an old man I guess you got some issues, but I'm only 31! I had to fly home on emergency leave two weeks ago and due to the short planning time I had a five hour lay over in Dulles. So I find my gate for my connecting and it happens to have a book store right across from it. I noticed the top of a GQ magazine in the racks, and since I've never read one before I grabbed it up along with a water and 8 bucks later I'm reclined on the floor by a wall reading and waiting. I don't know what I was expecting, maybe an article on how to appreciate fine spirits or a good cigar or something. What I got were articles on men's fashion (I expected that), a lot of sex advise some of which was not to gentlemanly, and an interview from a internet porn king who's in jail for making a video with two underage girls, and I could have sworn the interviewer was trying to make this guy out to the be victim. I noticed all of this at about the same time I noticed that every woman who walked by me was either giving me a look of utter disdain or a naughty grin. I didn't put two and two together until I looked at the front of the magazine, which was in plain view to all passers by given the way I was propped up as I sat/laid on the floor. Yeah, it's a picture of Adriana Lima completed naked and shielding herself with a palm leaf and her arms. I then did a mental rewind as to how many children had walked by with their parents. I was mortified and I shoved the magazine in my bag. This was the first edition of this magazine I have read so I don't want to pass judgment on the whole thing just off this one issue so I ask: To those who read it on a regular basis, is this the usual content of GQ magazine? Because it didn't seem very gentlemanly to me. Maybe I am becoming an old man, but when I think "Gentleman" I think of clean, well dressed, well spoken, well mannered, knows his etiquette, things like that. I don't think of, "Knows how to get a supermodel into bed." Someone care to educate me? Am I making a sensible point or do I just need to SUAGO?
Now where is my Ben Gay rub????......
