It seems like I can’t go a day without running into a blog post about Megan Fox or a picture of her, and that’s when I’m cruising the political blogs. She really didn’t strike me as anything special, so I thought, ”Well, all I’ve seen are still photos. Maybe I have to see her speak or move to appreciate her.”

So I tried a couple minutes of appearance on Letterman. Then I tried these clips from Two and Half Men.  Then this clip from Transformers. And after seeing her in action, all I can say is . . . meh.

Oh well, as a friend of mine used to say “That’s why Baskin-Robbins makes 31 flavors.”

Of course, I can be this critical because I’m the handsomest devil you’ll ever lay eyes on.

Actually, I don’t really mean to be critical of Megan Fox at all. She is attractive. Kind of. It’s Foxmania that has me baffled. Not that I’ve seen it specifically within the Rule 5 club. Which I hope I don’t get kicked out of.

UPDATE (7/12/09): Perhaps my Rule 5 club membership is safe after all. With well over 100 visits to this post so far today (thank you, Smitty and Classic Liberal), still no comment asking “are you effin’ crazy?” I was half expecting one or two death threats by now.

There is one terrific comment, though, from commenter John Higgins, and it’s too good to miss, so here it is in full:

I’m sorry, who is Megan Fox?

I do regular Rule 5 posts, too, and I promise one for next Sunday’s round-up. Until then, don’t be a stranger.
