Our favorite CEO ranked 29th on 49 as the best representative of the male gender!

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/....ap/index.html

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- George Clooney is the No. 1 man's man, according to a list compiled by AskMen.com.

The Oscar winner tops the Web site's list of what it calls the 49 best representatives of the male gender. Rap mogul Jay-Z, adventurer-entrepreneur Richard Branson, cyclist Lance Armstrong and designer Tom Ford make up the rest of the top five, in order.

The list was culled from nominations submitted by readers of the online magazine, who were asked to name the top "ambassadors of male-kind." Voters were asked to look for traits such as integrity, charisma and intelligence.

The list will be posted Tuesday.

Bill Clinton ranked 10th and Tiger Woods 13th. Travel-show host Anthony Bourdain was 19th on the list.

"I shall be sure to spend the week shooting things, barbecuing, drinking manly drinks to excess and high-fiving loudly while watching organized athletics," Bourdain said.

Rocker Bono was 27th, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was 29th and director Martin Scorsese was 46th. "Entourage" star Jeremy Piven ranked 49th.
I generally agree with the choices, but.. Jay-Z as #2??? WTF!!

Clooney as number one, eh? I've heard he's quite the prankster.

Call me weird, but I simply don't care what other guys think of me. I'd much rather maintain status as a "women's man" than be a "man's man" any day of the week.

Weird. I woulda thought the hosts of Queer Eye woulda been spots 1 through 5.

At least Steve's in while Bill Gates isn't.

This list is nothing but a coded collection of bi-curious celebrities.

Isn't it anatomically impossible for Lance Armstrong to represent men?

So you are talking about an obscure magazine, making a silly list. How is this important? Or is it a fluff thread?

For some reason I read the title as 'Steve Irwin among the top 50 man's man'.

George Clooney at #1? AskMen obviously didn't ask many men.

Why isn't Patrick Swayze or Steve Guttenberg or Tito Jackson on this list?

Stupid list.
