An Important Editor's Note

We received the following email this week:

The picture of me on your hottest media types page as the "mystery" editor, taken at a bodybuilding contest, uses a photograph by J.M. Manion, a professional photographer, and one of the top bodybuilding photographers in the country. Below is a statement from his website:

Notice of Copyright
It is ILLEGAL to copy or reproduce these photographs elsewhere without the photographer's permission, and violators of this Federal Law will be subject to its criminal and civil penalties.

I am contacting Mr. Manion, and I also am considering action. Everyone else in your feature is dressed appropriately. While I am indeed proud of my physique, the use of this photo on your website is mean-spirited at best.

Take the photo off your site immediately.

Geoffrey Etnyre,
Assistant Managing Editor
The Washington Times

I thought body builders wanted people to look at their bodies?

1. This guy needs to realize "If you don't want anyone to see a
picture of him in inappropriate dress, he should NEVER dress inappropriately!"

3. And if you really don't want it to be public, don't publicly complain. LOL
No shame in being a body builder is there? Look at Ahnuld. What other pics are in this guy's closet one wonders? LOL.

2. LOL
Hint to Editor ...... if you pose @ body building contests you will
be seen so if you do not want to be seen in your "banana hammock"
don't wear it in public.

I wonder if he knows bulldog?

And how big is the gay sub culture in D.C.?

4. DC gays are not endangered.
Just visit Georgetown, or Adams-Morgan or... the Pentagon!:party:
