So funny and yet hilariously true, you said all the things the rest of us cant say and that is what makes stuff like this a funny thing to read, aint life just one humurous head-fucking event.

18. Your cats. Attachment to a non-human mammal that doesn't give a fuck about you bespeaks emotional damage. It's the kind that transforms you from "alluringly quirky" to "certifiable."
WRONG. I suppose you guys are dog people, huh? Come on. Dogs are just overgrown lemmings, which is not sexy because, well, independence is sexy. Cats are a hell of a lot sexier by far.

Did it really take he entire Nerve staff to come up with this?! I can see why no individual wanted to take credit for it. Shame! Shame!

Just like some people don't like cats, cats just don't like certain people. I can always tell a complete asshole, even when they are on their best behavior and are seemingly charming by whether my cats like them or not. They've never been wrong. Dear author, you have my sympathy.

Great article! The best part is when you stole content from much more entertaining sites and didn't credit them! BRAVO!

This list is bland, boring and too long. Luckily after i gave up reading the whole thing after number seven and skimmed the rest I found some humour in the lead guitarist. Kinda funny because i could relate...odd, seems to me the people writing this had no life. I'll never get thst 10 minutes back now.

Has the person that wrote the "blurb" about Burning Man even ever attended? It sounds to me like the un notioned assumption that runs rapid in the minds of perverts who actually can't afford to go to Burning Man.

Ann Coulter is a piece of work. Smart. Sexy. And she cna kick your ass any day. She would run circles around anyone in a debate. Don't mess with her

Re: Ann Coulter: "Everyone else looks like Rush Limbaugh".
Huh-what? Let's catalogue this:
Conservative women: Sabine Herold, Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Virginia Postrel, Kathy Kinsley - all women who can out-write Jimmy Breslin and out-fuck Bill Clinton, not that any of them would touch him.
Demcrat women: Molly Ivins.
Nuff said.
Hey, I can do irony and sarcasm, too!

Odd that this piece would riff on "Match.com", when Nerve (or "Springstreet") Personals have become a sort of synonym for sleazy and pathetic hookupism.

what's your email boym (for that whole topic unto itself)

i think these comments are funnier than the list.

nice work! who is the author- i want to read more

Also, the attacks on Match.com and craigslist just feel sort of...petty. Territorial. The sorts of asides that I grumble about when I read them in the great NYPress "Village Voice pigtail dipathon" every other week.
And what's wrong with eight-ball jackets? People used to get shot for them, so they MUST be good. When was the last time someone was shot on a subway platform for their Yamamoto slacks?

Sigh. I just finished an MA in Critical Theory, and intended to get back into the studio to bust out hot rhymes like "harder core than a backdoor porno, kickin negative dialectics like I'm Theodor Adorno"...and then see that doing so is the 39th Unsexiest thing on Nerve's list.
And I really thought that battling DJ Spooky over what I consider to be his misreading of Gilles Deleuze would be what got me my (Christopher? Lafayette?) street cred.
I'm assuming that I can't put www.soundclick.com/oldscratch on this form, but I'll give it the old too-much-college try anyway.

the best list written up that practically all of my friends and i can sit around and totally agree on. it was awesome.

i agreed w/ everything except the lead guitar players...you are DEFINATELY wrong there, the pot, and the hotel sex marathons..
everything else was dead on

Some of those are true, but I love Coldplay, and lead guitarists. That is all.

I'm sorry, but that Backstreet Boys/Buffy crossover gang bang I posted on my website? It so was HOT AS HELL >:0
--DTP

Sorry, but you are so wrong. Who made you the arbiters of sexiness, and who narrowed your minds to the equivalent of fundie dogmatists?
I've got an idea of what is un-sexy: Looking down your nose like a righteous know-it-all. So there!

Excellente. A notch above the usual media "list". Kudos!

#51. nerve.com - lameass losers with nothing more original in their bag than a lot of cheap disses. is this what you have to stoop to in order to find new material? who even comes to your meaningless site? if you imagine that you are any less vacuous than the next site on the internet, then you are sorely mistaken.
--ZM

Oh, you've disappointed so utterly with this. You've done no real research at all. If only you all were having as much good sex and as often as "Lord of the Rings" fanfiction writers on LiveJournal. Seriously.

UNSEXY: uptight daddios who take jokes so literally they can't laugh at themselves. This ace list had me emailing the URL to a friend before I'd even finished reading it! And for what it's worth, I got the link via LJ. From someone who got the joke. ;)
--FLEA

Are you KIDDING ME?! This is lame lame lame. Since when was Friendster SUPPOSED to be sexy? Or Burning Man? Or LIVEJOURNALS?! WTF?! Hey, you know what's not sexy? people TRYING TOO HARD TO BE RELEVANT...
--JA
09/23 |
Yeah, this was pretty weak... come on Nerve, you're better than this! Basically a rehashing of this year's trends and a lame attempt at pointing out the stupidity (and unsexiness) of each one. I expected something a little more witty.
--KM

Here is how I expressed my opinion of your Unsexy List on my "genital-retracting personal sex blog":
http://www.search4friction.com/archives/001109.html
Actually, I agree with some of your choices, but for an online sex magazine (yes, I realize you have a a printed version too), there seems to be a strange bias against Internet sex and technology in general.
I get the impression your "staff" are growing older and less culturally in tune with your readership, or they don't get laid much and are pissed.
--KMW
09/22 |
Meh, there were a couple of good points in there, but for the most part a pretty weak list.
--ES
09/22 |
Jesus, do you really likes sex? :P
--AJ

Oh no! I'm an archtypical soccer mom with 5 cats that is considering a lower back tattoo...I may never get laid again! Lighten up people!

enough with the percentage points on everything. use that device once, then get creative with other ways to say what you're saying in a funny way.

Very amusing I must say...Especially #43...the entire LiveJournal experience is full of moments that should be saved for one's diary, therapy sessions, and/or conversations with friends for whom the minute detail of your day is of interest. Please do not subject the online community to tall tales of your sexual bravado (or lack therof).
--SP

Wow! This feedback is better than the article...

im guilty of livejournal, friendster, and craigslist....
its a sexy unsexy, however

Let's review...you dissed your competition (Match.com, Friendster.com), you insulted people who own cats intimating they are mentally unbalanced, teenagers (that's okay, they're not old enough to become premium subscribers anyway), folks to choose Pilates to stay in shape as well as those who light candles, drink martinis, listen to Coldplay, read Tolkien and play lead guitar. Conclusion: an amazingly humourless and mean-spirited "list." Would #50 include your "premium" offerings as well?
--mjh

Thanks for a great laugh!!! The list was sooo hilarious!!!

amateur, pop idolized jibberish. if you hate them so much...why such and obsession?

You guys hit everything on the head except for #6. It should have been: Justin Timberlake, not Denise Richards. And even if you're implying that by being with Charlie Sheen she is now in the permanantly ragged-out category, so be it. She's still fine as hell!
--RM

Great list, can we get a 50 sexy things list?
--EGM

Dear nerve staff,
Your attempts at sarcasm, wit, and humor are getting lamer by the week. Either that or you guys are dumbing down for a reason. Too many teenage followers? Adios amigos.

Get rid of Number 4 and number 35, and just come out and say "Pay nerve.com instead!"
Oh, and I think you're crazy re: number 29. Tan lines are evil.
--JCz
09/18 |
How about lists defining what is hip and what isn't?
--fu
09/17 |
other things you missed:
mindless patriotism, especially American flags made in China. it had its moment, let's regain our wits.
hipsterism. this deserves a whole article unto itself.
believing anything you see or hear on television for more than three seconds.
fast food, especially veggie burgers that have more crap and fat in them than the equivalent meat ones.
Hot Topic.

Dear lord, this is awesome. I am a pathetic livejournaler who has suddenly seen the error of my ways. Note to self: write less, be sexy more.

ugh...pasties and saltines? NOT a good idea! No wonder there's no sex happenin!

Some were right (office cubicles, nu metal), but some were WAYY off base.
Kim Catrall and Denise Richards in stilletos with some pot is my idea of a pefect evening.

number 51, taking the time to compose a list naming "unsexy" things. Get a fucking life. What are we, in tenth grade?
OK, so I did chuckle at a few of them...
--ajh
09/17 |
What a great piece! It includes almost everything I hate except you missed the number one...The people (men and women) with their annoying flip flops. Your feet are not sexy and walking around in filthy NYC with them even makes you more unattractive.
--DMT
09/17 |
yeah, irony, we get it. at least it was funny in some places. agree with the person who mentioned wallet chains and guys with animal nicks. gawd, reading this list you'd think it was uncool to ever get any...
--kls
09/17 |
Oh come on guys! You missed a gold opportunity with this article. Here's eight right out of the top of my head.
1--Madonna's kiss with Britney Spears (desperate plea for attention from the queen of fake publicity).
2--Guys who wear backwards baseball caps (a.k.a "fratus boyus", much worse than the guys who were truckers caps, a.k.a. "hipus faux workingclassus")
3--Bleached blond, fake breasted, belemic, bimbo women who are all the rage in the media (I guess this one is just obvious; kind of like pointing out how tiresome reality TV shows are)
4--Hipster "waifs" who look like they just finished shooting up that morning (sorry women who look like teenage boys make me feel like a pedophile just looking at them)
5--Glamour magazines (plastic looks for plastic people)
6--Wallet chains (no one is going to mug you in Smallsville, USA)
7--Guys with animal nicknames (grow the hell up "Snake")
8--Guys who drive big gas guzzling trucks & SUV's(we all know what they are compensating for)
--JAB

The one, and only thing, you forgot to include on your 50 unsexy list is...NERVE - you all are so full of shit that you cannot look in the pejorative mirror. Who are you? What are you? But a bunch of self-proclaimed sex experts who can barely proclaim to give good head, unless you read your own lame ass diatribe "The Big Bang." Blow smoke up someone elses ass for a change.
