What is the Top 49?

The Top 49 reader's poll is a ranking of some of the most influential and powerful modern-day male figureheads in the realms of business, entertainment, sports, and politics.

Last month, AskMen.com asked its readers to submit 100 nominees for the list asking: "Who are the best representatives of our gender? Who are the top ambassadors of male-kind?" Readers then cast more than 1 million votes to determine the Top 49.

The List isn't like the "Most Sexy" and "Most Beautiful" lists published elsewhere. Success in a single field wasn't enough to make the cut — readers had to choose men who both excel in their profession and exemplify prized male traits (style, intelligence, character, etc.)

Well I have 2 problems with this;

1) is the number 10 spot, give me a break!!

2) Again Im listed as # 50 and therefore not shown here. Thats like the third year in a row. Thats just not right, I think I will file a complaint.

Anthony Bourdain (#19) rocks. He's got a show on the Travel Channel now, and it's definitely worth a look.

So the Travel Channel's where he went? I wondered what happened to him. Did the Food Network cancel his show or did he quit? I always enjoyed watching his show - it was, how should I say, different?

He doesn't have kind things to say about the food network, so it could have been either way. He's pretty happy with the travel channel though, I think he can get away with drinking more without having to apologize for it. Last time it was some kind of hallunigenic substance from a shaman, that he was very VERY careful in saying that he would NEVER do it because it would be against the rules of the travel channel, etc, but then went on to show blurry and kind of trippy camera shots. Of course, he once quipped that the best remedy for heartburn was a joint. He's kind of wild, but fun as hell. Definitely on the top of my "Celebrities I want to party with" list.

The reason it's top 49 and not top 50 is because I refused to participate in the list, because I am not just a piece of meat!!!

So, in honor of me they are now only doing to "Top 49" instead of the top 50
