AOL, who apparently missed the notice that Pete Wentz was also labeled one of People magazine's sexiest people in the world, has declared Pete the #8 "unsexiest male" in the world. The extremely random list also included not-so-bad Ben Stiller, also really attractive Ryan Phillipe, Howard Stern, Pete Doherty, and a bunch of guys I don't know or care about -- probably because they're actually ugly.
Pete had this to say about the nomination:
I'm just happy to be nominated. It's funny, I got on People's Most Beautiful list because of eyeliner, and I got on AOL's Most Unsexy because of eyeliner too. It was the reference in both of those. And I don't really view myself as a particularly attractive person. So it doesn't really bum me out that much. I have a mullet. I don't care.
Pete being so humble is part of his endearing charm, but let's face it. If a truly ugly man was nominated for this list, I suspect he wouldn't take it all that well. But Pete Wentz? He may say he doesn't think he's "particularly attractive," but the hundreds of thousands of girls around the world who think he's absolutely stunning would beg to differ. And there's no way he's not aware of this.
Still, it's cute that he tries to pretend that he's not attractive.
It's even cuter that AOL just made up the word "Unsexiest," though I have to wonder why nobody has really questioned why they felt the need to mangle the English language in an attempt to insult celebrities.
Then again, this shouldn't shock me, since we pretty much owe "net-speak" such as "LOL" and "BRB" to AOL. I should be more surprised they didn't call these guys "UNSXEE" or something.
And for the record? Pete Wentz is, without a doubt, extremely sexy.
