Go Figure

1 Rank of Steven the Dell dude (aka Ben Curtis) on Stuff’s list of the 38 biggest losers of 2002. “Even if you skinned him, he’d still make an annoying rug,” says the witty accompanying blurb in the magazine. “It’s his affectations,” editor in chief Greg Gutfeld tells Shoptalk. “The arched eyebrows, the constant thumbs-up, the manic grinning like he’s on some kind of narcotic. … It’s like poison gas.” Stuff’s list, which is a response of sorts to Esquire’s “Best and Brightest” rankings (“that 65-page, irrelevant monstrosity,” as Gutfeld calls it), is bizarre.
