Social media hilariously savages People’s ‘Sexiest man alive’ choice
PEOPLE Magazine’s 2017 Sexiest Man Alive looks like a “divorced dad at a BBQ” - and that’s one of the kinder comments on social media.

IT’S official: Blake Shelton is the sexiest man alive.
At least, according to People Magazine, who have this year bestowed their annual honour to the country crooner and US The Voice coach.
“I’ve been ugly my whole life,” Shelton, 41, said in a statement on Tuesday. “If I can be sexy for a year, I’m taking it!”
👀🔥😠@BlakeShelton is this year's #SexiestManAlive! And most importantly, he 'can't wait' to stick it to his fellow #TheVoice judge (and former SMA) @AdamLevine. 😂 https://t.co/LtQ2q8QSkU pic.twitter.com/g7IilIXzxA

People’s announcement that they’d crowned Shelton - the latest in a long line of stars including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds and David Beckham - was met with some... interesting reactions on social media. People did not hold back.
Okay I'm not one to rip on people's looks but "sexiest man alive" is a big claim to make about a dude who looks like any given 40-something white guy getting lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings on a Tuesday.

SAVAGE. But wait - this lady’s feelin’ it:
Why tf are people questioning @blakeshelton being the sexiest man alive. A good old fashioned country boy who is funny, charming, handsome, and enjoys a cold one. I’m behind this.
