Channing Tatum ‘Sexiest Man Alive,’ But Who Is Sexiest Man Dead?

Channing Tatum was crowned People magazine’s sexiest man alive for 2012.

The 32-year-old former stripper joins a list of past winners that includes George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Ryan Reynolds.

Shamefully, four-star panty-dropper David Petraeus didn’t even make the short list this year. THAT IS TOPICAL HUMOR, YOU LAUGH NOW.

That’s great and all, but @DaveLozo asks a better question:

“Sexiest Man Alive” makes me wonder if People has a secret “Sexiest Man Dead” issue. Why specify living? Ben Franklin wins every time?
