Man-Titty on ET Canada!

There’s a very eloquent, very interesting discussion over at Dear Author (duh, where else would it be? That Jane’s got her finger on the romance-reading pulse of America) on why the romance genre needs a makeover. I don’t have a very strong opinion one way or another— kind of “meh” about it—but there is something to be said about picking up a Harlequin romance novel and knowing EXACTLY what you’re getting. Man-titty in a firefighter outfit. Man-titty in OR scrubs (O… R they?). Man-titty lookin’ all serious and using Jack Bauer as his motivation. Kief, you’re a pirate, man! Awesome.

I totally thought of Zoolander. They look so earnest!

Brint: Or the way Hansel combs his hair?
Meekus: Or like, doesn’t, it’s like, ex-squeeze me, but have you ever heard of styling gel?
Brint: I’m sure Hansel’s heard of styling gel, he’s a male model.
Meekus: Uh, earth to Brint, I was making a joke.
Brint: Uh, Earth to Meekus, duh, okay I knew that!
Meekus: Uh earth to Brint, I’m not so sure you did cuz you were all ‘well I’m sure he’s heard of styling gel’ like you DIDN’T know it was a joke!
Brint: I knew it was a joke Meekus, I just didn’t get it right away!
Meekus: Earth to Brint…
Derek Zoolander: GUYS! Can we stop with the Earth to’s!

Thanks to my buddy Harley Quinn for forwarding me this link.

    I never knew those guys on the covers actually existed! *Squeee!!!* Still, that was friggin’ hilarious, models trying to get into character…except for the firefighter since he’s already got that job.

    My gun safety brainwashed self was cringing for most of the clip. The guys actually in poses with their fingers on the trigger were bad enough. The first guy who was talking about how that pistol “fit in” his hand made me want to reach through the screen and smack him. I don’t care if it’s a plastic gun. Keep your finger on the outside of the trigger guard. (Yes, I know it’s kinda irrational. But shit like that’s how people end up having to say “I don’t know how it went off. What do you mean they’re dead?”)

    Okay, now I want to submit something to HI just to get one of those guys on a cover… Better yet, where the heck do I sign up to be at these photo shoots?

    Hold up here, they’re not real heroes, they’re models playing real heroes? Except the firefighter? That is totally Zoolander. I wonder if they will read their books.
