Chris Ayres Asks FBLA: "Where's the Beckham Love?"/FBLA POLL

Chris Ayres, the London Times’ man in LA, seems very excited about David Beckham’s move to Los Angeles. And distressed about the seeming indifference of the locals. He asks “Why no huzzahs? Why no blog posts? What’s wrong with you people!?”

Can’t decide? Here’s what LA Media types thought:

Amy Alkon:

Just what we need in LA, one more man in pink nailpolish and a sarong.

Ray Richmond:

Our reaction here to soccer is like theirs to baseball. Hollywood only cares about Beckham to the extent that his surname is preceded by “Bend It Like.”
