Kenneth Walsh may have boosted his page views when he posted journo Thomas Roberts‘ nudie ManHunt pictures, but he may not be making that many friends.
“Modern Romantic” Japhy Grant posted this video in which he blasts Walsh not only for invading Roberts’ privacy, but perpetuating homophobic stereotypes, ie: queers are all sex-crazed maniacs. We love Walsh – and we love seeing Roberts’ naked body – but we’ve got to say Grant’s got a point.
And beautiful eyes…wink, wink…
Meanwhile, who knew Walsh’s post would cause such drama. Aside from Grant’s criticism, Jeff Bercovici launched his campaign against the New York Post. It’s, like, gay drama to the Nth degree!

Can you tell me what Grant’s point is other than to get him some Ann Coulter sort of attention?
Ken Walsh is one of the great gay bloggers out there and post some of the most incredible looking men.
I thought the reason behind posting a nude of yourself on manhunt was to draw attention to your self…job done.
What am I missing here?

i think Grant’s point is that Ken Walsh was stepping on Perez Hilton’s toes by getting involved with scandal and gossip, when there really wasn’t any scandal or gossip.
by posting Thomas Robert’s nude pics, he was essentially reducing Roberts to a gay stereotype, and making Roberts look like a sex-crazed maniac trolling the internet. and as we all know, a sex-crazed maniac trolling the internet cannot properly report the news.
however Jackie (or Greg Poops), you make a valid point… posting naked pictures of yourself is to draw attention to yourself… and let’s face it… it WAS a hot ass!
i think the point your missing is that no one wants to be totally exposed and judged, and taking Thomas Robert’s ManHunt pics out of the context of ManHunt and scorning him for it did just that. Walsh was doing a classic “make myself look good by making someone else look bad – come, gather, and we can judge together” technique.

I see where you are coming from…btw, I have been getting the Greg Poops comparison for years which may be the reason I find him so witty and attractive.
As a blogosapian, I thought that Ken Walsh has always been classy, yet sometime frustrating that he shows beef cakes and no dickage. Jack likes the dickage..a LOT.
Perez Hilton is a parisite whose only talent is drawing white dots on photos that he has ripped off. He is not a writer. My turds have have more talent that Perez Hilton.
Trust me, I know about doing and saying stuff on the internet that can come back to bite you in the ass. Mr. Belonsky can witness that. I have lost gigs from postings that I have made Here that pissed off certain TV channels to the point of breaking a deal.
Perhaps, I am just to old, jaded, and bitter to find anything negative about what Mr. Roberts or Mr. Walsh did. If I had a body and a face like that, I would be posting ad naseum.
The internet is full of sex crazed maniacs, most of them (90 per cent) would be my guess are heterosexual. I firmly believe that is why God and Al invented the world wide web to begin with.

well, i think it’s high time (no pun intended) that you come up with your own TV channel, Jackie!

I think Jephy misunderstood the reference about Roberts bringing “another” scandal to The Insider. That was a nod to Pat O’Brien’s nasty voicemails, not anything Roberts had done in the past.
My problem is the media is acting like this is a scandal. Roberts is an unmarried adult. He posted pictures of himself on a website in hopes of finding love (or sex). Last I checked that was totally legal and something millions of people do–gay and straight.

Japhy Grant and NY1’s Bobby Cuza would make a great couple.
