Mouse of the beholder, or something

For some inscrutable reason, Playboy is taking votes for "the Web's hottest blogger." While I have no particular quarrel with the nominees, and indeed I predicted something similar two and a half years ago, this strikes me as unnecessarily one-dimensional.

I'm not taking any kind of moral position here. I like to look as much as the next guy, unless the next guy happens to be Benedict XVI; I just prefer to keep gawking and reading in two separate sections of the brain. Makes life so much easier. And besides, I have no grasp of the Hefnerian Zeitgeist, despite having paid actual money for the magazine for twenty-five years.

(Found in the comments section of The Breda Fallacy; Breda wants you to know that if you ever nominate her for such a thing, she will hurt you. Bad.)
