FHM puts Andrej Pejic on its sexiest women's list and refers to him as a thing

[bunburyist]

Why are men's magazines writers such bloody ignorant idiots?

they aren't necessarily (though I'm sure some of them are), but they know that their readership is

I'm also no Andrej's fan but that's just mean to write such a text about him- the authors must be really small-minded.

they aren't necessarily (though I'm sure some of them are), but they know that their readership is

So their readers are bloody idiots?

FHM removed the entry about Andrej Pejic being the 98th "Sexiest Woman in the World" from its website with no explanation, but the article made the rounds on fashion blogs this week anyway (because no piece of text ever disappears these days). The magazine has issued an apology for the story, where the author opined, "Pass the sick bucket," at the idea of Pejic modeling for Victoria's Secret.
Andrej Pejic appears at number 98 in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2011.

Regrettably the copy accompanying Andrej’s online entry wasn't subbed prior to going live. Once we realised, we removed it immediately and apologised for any offence caused.

FHM has spoken to the individual concerned and taken steps to ensure this can never happen again.

So the story, which mocked Andrej and transgender model Lea T, went live on the site because it wasn't "subbed," i.e. subedited? Commenters on FHM's site are incredulous and expressed dismay that FHM waited until the story got mainstream attention to apologize.

I can't believe they think this was acceptable. Oh wait, yes I can.
