Default Make This Man the UK’s Sexiest New Model

British clothing chain Next is holding a competition to find a new hottie. And naturally, the internet is doing its best to delightfully rig it. Enter Roland: not exactly top model material. But he's blowing away the competition. Let's help.
I think this is awesome! I voted for the guy!

I wonder how long until major retailers don't do this kind of thing online anymore? Not that I am against it, I actually think it's hilarious and cool. It's just that with the way to jihad anything it would seem internet based competitions and such will quickly be recognized as bad business.

not really.....i mean look at the reach of this type of thing. who would've thought that UK's sexiest model would have a thread on CP? that guy has 24000 likes on facebook and probably is generating free publicity in the UK newspapers

Why should retailers kibosh this? This is going to work beyond their dreams if it goes viral.

They'd be stupid to shut it down, I would never have even heard about this is someone didn't post it on CP, and maybe if I'm ever in the vicinity I'll check out one of their stores.

Why would you vote for Roland, when you could vote for Bob?

Looking through the list, it appears that half the male entrants are jokes -- I hope.

Nice to see this guy is in the top 10:





Congratulations to the voters for overlooking the horrible extra hand this guy has growing out of his back:

It just says he's ranked first on his profile, but it does not give the # of votes.
