I was looking at my friend’s Gentlemen’s Quarterly (GQ) magazine collection that goes back years. He picks them up from other countries when he is traveling too so the collection is pretty extensive. As I was looking through the boxes something became blatantly clear. See if you can figure it out from the samples below…what’s missing?
Did you figure it out? Maybe I should have said who is missing? How about Asians? After all Asia is only the largest continent with the majority of the world’s population, over 4 billion. You mean to tell me they couldn’t find a single Asian out of 4 billion that was good enough to make the cover? I think I know a couple of Asians that would look hot on the cover!
Is that guy with you in the pic going to be a new model? I wanna see video of you two! 🙂
Yes you will see him soon.
They should put Harry Shum Jr. on the cover!
Are you saying Harry is better looking than me?
Yeah… There aren’t many Asian entertainers to be put on the cover, but there have been a few fashion spreads inside the magazine featuring Asian-American celebrities. Plus an increase in the amount of Asian models in the non-celebrity fashion spreads. Recent examples of Asians used in the fashion spreads include Daniel Dae Kyn + Harry Shum Jr. Plus I remember seeing that hot Korean soccer player a while back for a winter shoot.
I’m sure GQ Taiwan (and other GQs in Asia) have Asian personalities on the cover all the time.
I already knew what GQ forgot, it was pretty obvious Asian males are always being left out. Why won’t they put Asians males there? Asians makes a huge population here in the United States. They even know that Asian region are dominating now in business, especially China. There are 2 reasons I believe they are not promoting Asians males on these covers.
1) Maybe the Asian community (majority) may not be interested in buying those magazines. So thats why their mostly Whites or Blacks.
2) Maybe its personal? Maybe they are somewhat upset or mad that the Asian world is dominating in the corporate world and America is kinda like a laughing stock because of this change.
Just my opinion. Peace! LOL
That……is one hot,nasty,sexy……never before seen photo……..Lordy.
I can’t believe it!!!
Yes, I did notice the problem straight away -- coz the absence of Asian men in popular media has been an age old issue.
Peter Fever is not on GQ because you are TOO HOT for the cover.
That is one lucky football
I would definitely buy a copy if you and Jef were on the cover and probably burn a hole through it for staring at it constantly. lol.
There aren’t any Asian entertainers with enough star power to sell magazines in the western part of the world.
