OH SNAP — We heartily agreed with the decision from V Man‘s editors to feature CNN meteorologist in a fashion spread, where he got to show off his geothermals. And then Marciano, who’s just finishing up a Disney holiday, had to upload his beach photos and reveal this enviable torso (he’s the one on the left). This man needs no green screen.

Rob Marciano is the hottest newsman on TV, bar none. Woof! And when he’s all wet and windswept, covering a hurricane, oh my lawd…
Pity that this picture hints at what team he plays on….I am hateing on the beeyotch in the polka dot bikini, just hate her…
ggreen
Dumb as a box of rocks and a big ol Republitard too. Ever notice when Rob stops taking his lips still move?
anyway
Okay, I would have been HAPPY to click through another 10 pages of THIS post!

@ggreen:
Hey dude- if you’re slandering my crush with that insult, better bring some proof. How/when did he come out as a rethuglican? I’ve never heard anything on that, and need more than an accusation…I could sue for character defamation.
And if it’s true, how unfortunate…moves my crush into the territory of dirty, bad, fantasy….Damn, that’s still hot. Guess there’s no escape.
And box of rocks stupid, really, who cares…take another look at the pic.

He’s a conservative, homophobic tool. All the muscles in the world couldn’t make that appealing in my eyes.

I’ve seen him at the gym. Very nice.
Theo
Again. What proof do we have that he’s a conservative and homophobic?
Not So Fast Cowboy
I’ve seen Marciano around and about town (Atlanta) and even once at dinner at a casual Italian place _with_ a man who one would assume to be gay.
I guessed the other man to be either his producer or his agent.
But it could have been a friend of neighbor, which would speak to his comfort level around gay men.
As to that other newsman who passed through Atlanta, we have actually seen Anderson Cooper in a gay bar/ nightclub (and not a mixed bar – nightlife in Atlanta can be less integrated than in say New York or LA).
And my partner saw his butt in the locker room of the gym they both attended.
Not So Fast Cowboy
One thing about the pic itself
If he is, as we assume, a straight guy- he most likely looks at the pic and thinks “dang, I look good”
If he were gay he would be thinking “dang, I look fat in that pic”
Of course in my eyes, the fact that his mid section appears somewhat less than rock solid- is a plus.

@ggreen:
hey thanks for the follow up…
Looked at the link, the full interview wasn’t available (not found/too old?) but what I saw was him saying that while he agrees with some of Al Gore’s position on man-made global warming, he wouldn’t blame Hurricane Katrina’s strength directly on global warming.
Um, am I missing something here, but how do we go from there to him being a conservative homophobe? He didn’t even say he denies glabal warming exists, or that we have contributed to it. Has he taken another public pro-republican or anti-gay stance on a major issue?
I still say he’s a hot slab of beef…if he has a few conservative leanings…well, nobody’s perfect and he’s just too darn purty to be expected to be a genius.

I have seen rumors of him using anti-gay slurs against gay colleagues behind their backs.
Joanaroo
If he is a straight GOP’er—eww, I’ll pass! And if proven anti-gay, that’s worse!

@Dennis: Read the comments on that blog.

Hey guys. I knew him when he was still with KATU in Portland, OR. I was on the KATU advisory council. I along with the rest of the council got to meet Rob and the other news casters on several occasions. And I never, ever got the vibe that he was a hater. There were enough gay people at the station. We saw him interact with several of them and he was nothing but jovial and friendly. He is most definitely straight as well. We met his wife at the time on one of these meet and greets. They are divorced now. I, however, never got the impression that he was a homophobe. Doesn’t mean he isnt’, just I never got that from him.

I’ve interacted with Rob via CNN. He’s a fratboy douchebag. All the people who keep trying to link him to being gay need to quit dreaming. He’s a total trophy collector…likes the hot girls and arm candy. As far as him being a homophobe, it’s kind of a stretch. He doesn’t care either way. He’s certainly not a friend to the community, but I don’t think he hates us…outside the usual fratboy humor. But he’s a card carrying Republican…to the core.
AlwaysGay
He’s anti-gay.
The hottest weatherman in the country is Adam Joseph. Buff, good-looking, smart and GAY!
TANK
I don’t get it. First off, he’s not hot. Fellas, for your information, this is average, okay? AVERAGE. Second, he’s homophobic. So what’s the draw? COuld it be that he’s with a woman? Is that the draw? Unattainable straight guy who’s a frat pig? Sick sad world for a reason.
GINO
eh his cute but i’ve seen cuter. He could do a few more sit-ups in my book.
Puddy Katz
@mk: You do realize that “seeing rumors” (I assume on the Internets) is NOT the same thing as proof. Right?
Just asking.
J
@TANK: who the hell are you to define what’s average? Your comments are always a piece of work.
mk
@Puddy Katz: That’s why I chose that wording instead of saying “I know that he has…”.
TANK
@J:
sighs….Have I ever been wrong as far as you know? No? Okay. He’s AVERAGE! I know you manhunt porkers like to call yourselves average rather than heavy set or bear (another option for a lot of you guys…young and old)…but no, you’re not average, you fuckin’ fat as FUCK!
Thom
@TANK:
You’re right, he isn’t very hot. I mean he’s attractive but I don’t get the obsession. Am I missing something?
Dennis
Tomato, tom-ah-to, beefy stud, fat slob, totally hot, totally average(?!)…whatever. Learned more about Rob Marciano than I ever cared to…takes all the mystery out of it, frankly.
So I now ascertain he’s straight, a man-ho, a republican, former frat boy, no real friend of the gays, but not a proven homophobe either. Yeah, the the magic is definitely gone.
Guess I’ll just jerk off on his picture and call it a day…
amazingpenis
Is he gay? If not, who cares?
Matt
More Marciano Please. The sex appeal is astounding. John King killed it. Hey if you are gonna tart up the news then I wnat the weather man to take King’s anchor position. John King sucks. Suburban Los Angeles wants Marciano. And you know us…we get what we want…especially our Weather Men / Women. Marciano is an untapped market…What a product. Share holders…listen up…he is a solid person for an anchor position.
Sincerely,
Target Los Angeles White Male 18-30 Upwardly Mobile Audience

Gay straight who cares…He has sex appeal and a fresh, and young…face. Perfect for television. Hollywood not hollywierd. Anyone who calls Hollywood wierd is from a backwoods slum that doesn’t even have a Walmart. “What’s a Walmart…is that a place where you get things for your wall?” -Paris Hilton…what does she do…(New Millenium Socialite / Club Promoter / Self Brand / House of Wax Was Awesome/ AND SHE DOES WWWAAAAYYYY MORE THAN YOU!)
I’ll buy a Marciano Fragrance. I bet it smells like success.

6ABC Philadelphia meteorologist Adam Joseph is the hottest on TV news. He’s built, fit, nice, great looking and gay. We love him here in Philly! Google him!
