Husband of Gwen Stefani and country singer Blake Shelton was just named People‘s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ and people are pissed. It’s a mostly silly thing to be pissed about, but this is Twitter we’re talking about, and it isn’t all that silly when we take into consideration 1) Blake Shelton’s history of homophobia and racism and 2) The fact that Idris Elba was ROBBED of the title.
Despite Idris Elba winning by popular vote, People decided to give the award to a dude who once tweeted “Wish the dickhead in the next room would either shut up or learn some English so I would atleast know what he’s planning to bomb!!” or “Nothing says ‘Happy 4th of July’ like a airport shuttle bus driver that can’t speak a FUCKING word of English!!! To the terminal Omar!!!”. Blake Shelton sucks.
But hey, that’s just my opinion! Some people really love Blake Shelton:
Blake Shelton isn't the sexiest man alive. HES THE SEXIEST HUMAN ALIVE! I LOVE YOU BLAKEY!!!!!

Blake Shelton is People’s Sexiest Man Alive because apparently Idris Elba, Chris Evans and Jason Momoa fell off the planet last night.
