Wow, that's a lot of attention paid to something written on HuffPo.

There's a ton of other photos and video of GotG marketing that show off a shirtless Chris Pratt. You don't have to take my word for it. Just Google it. You'll get plenty of hits.

Obama was handed two awful wars and the worst economic collapse in 75 years. And then he was blessed with the craziest opposition party in U.S. history. Beyonce would be ground to powder by now if she had to deal with that.

I was responding to this:

He worked it off for the role,...

See, the marketers did know what they were doing.

Yeah you weren't actually paying attention.

It's not clear if you're saying your gf is working out but hasn't had the same results as you have or if she's not working out at all.

Yeah, he got the role on the condition that he lose the weight. That's why he got in such great shape in the first place. You made my point for me and did it in fewer words.

Chubby guys can make it big in comedy, of course. You can take that all the way back to W.C. Fields. But if you want to make it in action flicks, as Chris Pratt did, you're going to need to get in great shape. It's the same for women in action flix. Melissa McCarthy in "Heat" is the exception, not the rule.

Very possibly. Not that it matters for the purposes of this topic, but I'm a man.

I don't watch any of those morning shows [I'm a SportsCenter guy myself] so I can't comment on GMA, but consider the possibility that Strahan is the reason Tebow is getting the job. "If one ex-jock works, maybe two will work even better."

I'm fascinated by serial killers, too, though not necessarily the ones who prey on women. I found Jeffrey Dahmer fascinating and I don't think he ever laid a hand on a woman. For the record, plenty of serial killers prey mostly on men, entirely on men or both sexes equally.

I am not really sure what you think you're proving here. The fact that someone won't be cast as an action hero without abs equals females all over the earth won't sleep with him because he's chubby?

Jenna Bush has a gig on one of those morning shows. What are her qualifications, apart from her last name? [That was pretty much what I thought about her father, too.]

He doesn't talk about Jesus when he's doing college football analysis. He's religious, but it's not like he's incapable of talking about anything else.

He's famous and good-looking. That's a pretty good combination. My girlfriend would kill me and leave my body by the side of the road for Tim Tebow. [And I'm in really good shape.] The audience for those morning shows is overwhelmingly female. This hiring makes perfect sense.

"We have determined"? A few commenters on Jezebel are qualified to speak for all women?

I think that's a good point. No way chubby Chris Pratt gets that part in Guardians of the Galaxy, which will probably be the most successful movie of the year. He's going to be a huge star now. The best scripts will now be coming his way. He's going to be a lot richer.

I'm 6'3" with very broad shoulders. Women love them. I was 12 when a secretary in my mother's office commented approvingly that I looked like a future linebacker. But damn if these shoulders don't make it tough finding the right suit. Men with shoulders as broad as mine are generally a bit heavier so the suits don't…
