When we reported Friday that Regent Media was firing upwards of two dozen staffers at its magazines as it moved to shutter The Advocate as a standalone magazine (it'll be poly-bagged with Out moving forward), we relayed that production manager Brian Lindsey, upon getting word that he was fired, "sent out a naked picture of himself with a sock over his happy parts" to colleagues. We're not sure exactly what message he was trying to send — Suck it, Colichman? Good luck with your shrinkwrap, Jarchow? — but we got ahold of the photo.
Of which you can see the possibly NSFW version on the next page.
UPDATE: One commenter says Lindsey is the fella on the left, not the sock-sporter on the right. If that's the case, the jockstrap skirt sends a message of … "Your ass is grass?"

Did any of these people ever study Journalism anyway?
"How A Fired" not "How Fired A". Proof-reading, people. Its' pretty usefull.
brian is pretty slim. very nice.
@william
one "l" in useful by the way.
That pube shave is gonna itch when it grows back.
Ummm. That's not Brian. He's the guy on the left
He wasn't "fired." He was "let go," or "made redundant." There is a difference. Words have meaning, even if the end result is the same.
I wouldn't "let go" of the guy on the right.
Wow! I'm glad somebody went as 'The Donger' for Halloweenie this year! I love Sixteen Candles, LOL! Maybe Queerty could hire him to edit & proofread… in the buff… on cam… at my place???
This picture was never intended to be "fuck off" to Regent Media in any way. It was meant to be a humorous send off to my colleagues. I had a great five years working at the Advocate and met a lot of great people and made a lot of good friends. I wish them all the best of luck and apologies to anyone who found it offensive.
This was just a stupid picture of me at a Halloween party at the Frolic room with a hot-socked twink. I do regret not getting sockboys name and number though…. Anybody?…
how is this NSFW?
Brian didn't lose his severance because of his friend's socked-junk. Regent needs the extra money for their writers and artists, who haven't been paid in months. Brian's email was a kind farewell to his friends at the company, and Regent's HR alien-queen-bitch knows it.
obviously none of them studied to be journalists. They just bedded some. And that's why the state of gay journalism is so dismal. Case in point: a gay publication in South Florida led by a has-been reality MTV personality! Now that's serious!
@william day
useful. don't be a dick.
