Oh don't worry about me, just another day being influential
Dear Rob,
Askmen.com recently voted you one of their top 49 most influential men of 2009. That’s exciting, right? I mean just knowing you’re thought of as an influential person… that what you say REALLY matters. I mean they MUST know you’re a serious dude who demands to be on top (that’s what she said). So, wanna know where you landed among these 49 other supposedly stellar dudes? Number 44. Yup, 5 from the bottom.
This got me to thinking (surprise) if you’re number 44 then who are the other guys who made it, especially the 5 below you, how were they not more influential then the dude who plays Edward Cullen, the vampire? So I took a look and here’s what I found…
#49. Lance Armstrong – Won like a bazillion Tour de France championships. Oh and he battled cancer and came out victorious though one ball less. AND all while boinking Sheryl Crow, Kate Hudson and an Olsen twin! This guy lost to you?!
Yup, still influencing over here...
#48. Jenson Button – Who? Besides the cute name who is this dude? Apparently he’s a Formula One driver which Askmen.com says “is like NASCAR without the chewing tobacco and mullets.” Ah, what an illustrious career option. So unless you consider banging a lingerie model influential, I can’t quite figure out why he’s even on this list. He looks like Andy Samberg meets someone blonder and way lamer.
#47. Santiago Calatrava – Some old architect dude. He’s designed a bunch of impressive shiz and will be designing he new World Trade Center transportation hub and something in Chicago. *Snnnzzz* Sorry, I lost you there for a second. You can tell MEN chose this list. Of course they’d pick some dude like Santigo cause guys like Brad Pitt, Donald Trump and yuppie middle men advertisers get off on stuff like architecture.
#46. Mario Batalli – Freaking awesome hot ginge chef! This is the guy who could teach you to make a killer homemade hot pocket but with stuff like leeks and raw eggs and crap inside of pepperoni. I’ve been to his pizza place, Mozza, many times and sorry to say it Rob, but Mario should be at least top 10 or at least higher than you cause his food will influence you to get reservations months in advance.
#45. Italo Zucchelli – Head Designer for Calvin Klein. Um, I think you know how we feel about your wardrobe choices. While the constant parade of flannel and plaid is endearing we gotta call you on your choice of Awards Show attire. Obviously Taylor is well acquainted with the works of Mr. Zucchelli, I’m gonna suggest you do the same.
Follow the cut to read the rest…
Have I influenced you enough yet?
#44 You! Robert Pattinson (read their break down and the ensuing 35+ comments. most comments out of all of them) How you’re number 44 most influential I’ll never know. I mean you single handedly revived a Dutch beer company, a microwavable sandwich, made flannel and plaid a fashion DO, had every woman aged 0 to 100 swooning over your discussions of “wipey things” and things coming out of your pants, reading obscure literature, lining up to see arthouse films about Salvador Dali and a guy named Art, you plucked 3 musician buddies out of total musical obscurity only to tour the US to sold out shows, tested the police protection of major cities including New York City, LA and Vancouver, and of course you took Twilight which was a literary success and turned it into a cultural phenomenon. So, influential? Yea, maybe just a touch.
#43 & 42 – Basketball dudes. It would probably help if I knew more about professional sports in general to make some type of statement about how influential they are and why more than you. But then again I’m too busy blogging about YOU to figure it out.
Other notables:
#19 – Ryan Seacrest – Really, Askmen.com, Ryan SEACREST is #19? REALLY?!
#16 – Conan O’Brien – DUH! he should be #1. He should also be my lovah
#14 – Jack Dorsey – Creator of Twitter. I’m sure a lot of you owe him your everlasting love and gratitude. He is also a foxy nerd.
Influence THIS Don Draper
and as much as I love Don Draper (#1) how in the HALE did he, a fictional TV character win out over Barack Obama (#3!!), leader of the free world. WTF?
And while we’re at it Askmen.com, may I ASK why 49?! Why not 50? Why not 48? Answer me that.
It’s surprising you even made it on this list Rob, since it was voted on by men and men are notoriously Rob-blockers (thx Vickyb!) which is worse than a cock block. So maybe it really is a miracle you even made the list though I think you were a pretty influential person in 2009… but maybe I’m just biased. But then again, I gotta question a MEN’S site that votes RYAN SEACREST into any sort of list.
You’ll always be #1 in my book! Well at least top ten…
Themoonisdown
So what do you think about this list? IS Rob an influential person? Is he influential compared to other dudes on the list?
Head over to LTT for some Thursday goodness
Make you own list of influential folks in the forum!
Letters to Rob 
LOL!
Ahh yes, he will always be number one to me too! haha
Now when you called that Mario chef dude a “ginge” did you mean redhead??
Just checking.
Our “word” for redheads here in Oz is Ranga.
Like orangatans.
Don’t hate, everyone says it; it’s from a TV show.
Anywho!
xox
By: Jayde on October 8, 2009
at 8:16 am
haha orangutans. i love it!
I had no idea what a ginge was.. I googled it… and I’m not surprised Moon knows that word. #1 she’s Moon & knows stuff like that. #2 she’s obsessed … OBSESSED w/ Conan O’brien 🙂
By: unintendedchoice on October 8, 2009
at 9:48 am
oooo I like “Ranga” – that’s awesome. I have a friend that can never remember the term “ginger” and always refers to redheads as “cinnamons” – for some reason I find that hilarious.
By: HeyyyBrother on October 8, 2009
at 12:06 pm
ginge=ginger!!
yes it’s a red head! micheal k at dlisted calls prince harry “prince hot ginge” so it works here! hahaha
By: themoonisdown on October 8, 2009
at 1:51 pm
yeah either ranga or ‘Blue’ – because you know, saying the opposite of what something is is hilarious…?

By: Nicole on October 12, 2009
at 4:42 am
When I first saw this I thought hmm..is Rob really one of the most influential men of 2009?
After thinking about it I agree, yes he certainly is influential. God only knows how many women put their real lives on hold to blog about him, read smutty stories about him and debate how often he bathes, how many holey T-shirts he owns and who he’s having special hugs with.
Congratulations, Rob.
By: dazzledtodeath on October 8, 2009
at 8:20 am
AND Not that any men WOULD admit to it- but if you consider how many men lost their wives to Robward, he’d be MUCH higher on the list.
By: Kate on October 8, 2009
at 12:13 pm
exactly!!!! this is why he is influential!
By: themoonisdown on October 8, 2009
at 1:52 pm
“Special hugs”= win
By: lovemesomecullens on October 8, 2009
at 1:01 pm
Well, that’s what you get if you ask MEN about these kinds of things… what do they know?
However, it IS indeed a mystery how men voted Rob on this list… maybe it’s because Rob’s convinced women that wearing dirty clothes, wrongly buttoned up shirts and freebee caps is endearing instead of gross? I can see why they would be grateful for that.
By: notanaddiktbella on October 8, 2009
at 8:21 am
Everytime my RL love tries to go out in something questionable, he says “your bf, the vampire wears stuff like this.”
I laugh & tell him that only he can pull it of as he has sex hair.
Then the love just looks at me & sulks for a bit.
By: fangbanger06 on October 8, 2009
at 10:16 am
Haha, this is exactly why I have shielded my love of Robward from my bf… to avoid such situations. 🙂
By: notanaddiktbella on October 8, 2009
at 11:07 am
“Your boyfriend, the vampire” lol, love it!
By: MacyBlair on October 8, 2009
at 8:18 pm
Men voted for him because Rob influences the greater frequency their women now want sex.
By: ChinNubbin on October 8, 2009
at 11:30 am
God, this is so true. My husband should be bowing before Rob and kissing his feet.
By: Holly on October 8, 2009
at 12:17 pm
IDK, I think smutty fan fiction rivals the Rob influence.
But maybe it’s the people reading it, they once again can’t distinguish a real man from a fictional character?
I myself am a little guilty of the Robward dreams tho, so I can’t judge…
By: lovemesomecullens on October 8, 2009
at 1:04 pm
It’s a cyclical phenomenon, all traced to Rob.
For me the order was:
Watching movie to see what the “Rob” phenom was about
Research on Rob
Reading Twilight Series
More research on Rob
Finding blogs about Rob
Really wanting Rob
Looking for fanfic Breaking Dawn honeymoon scenes
Transferring wanting Rob to real life misc 20-something-year-old men
Reading more fan fiction
Attacking husband
Still really wanting Rob
Rob being the “influential” common denominator, of course.
By: ChinNubbin on October 8, 2009
at 1:45 pm
there must be 5 girls who works for askmen.com and they pooled their votes and got him to 44. good job ladies!!
By: themoonisdown on October 8, 2009
at 1:53 pm
I think Rob made the list because enough men are trying to figure out his appeal in a last ditch effort to regain their wives attentions.
Ok, and seriously, RYAN SEACREST?! I didn’t know creepy little elves were even eligible.
By: JodieO on October 8, 2009
at 8:37 am
Haha, I agree about Ryan Seacrest, creepy little elf. 🙂

Hi Jodie, I know. I’ve been so busy lately and I got sick a week ago. I’ll come and visit sometime. 🙂 TTYL
By: southernbelle on October 8, 2009
at 5:35 pm
That, and they were forced to movie theatres for Twilight, have seen the pictures, magazines and books all over their girlfriend’s, mother’s, sister’s, friend’s rooms, and have probably been asked “WHY CAN’T YOU BE MORE LIKE MY EDWARD?!” on several occasions. Poor bastids.
By: Marz on October 8, 2009

“He couldn’t avoid the eyes of AskMen.com editors when we spotted him at the posh NYC clubs”.
This might explain a few things as well.
“Yup, still influencing over here…” LOL

Most men don’t have a clue who Rob is. It’s a miracle he even made the list. Committee made up of Salvador Dali fans and puffs or what?
By: swansong on October 8, 2009

salvador dali fans!! HUGE fans
By: themoonisdown on October 8, 2009

He’s the #2 most influential man in my life. Sorry, Rob…just in case Mr. Holly reads this, I had to bump you (that’s what she said?).

maybe you can take letterman, tuesdaymidnight? I hear he’s easy…
By: unintendedchoice on October 8, 2009
at 9:49 am
Lovin’ the snark! But shouldn’t Jasper be the #1 most influential person? I mean, since we’re considering fictional characters and all?
By: StothP on October 8, 2009
at 10:06 am
Hahahaha! Zing!
I don’t know about Moon, but I’m willing to share. Such a man as Conan is too great to be monopolized by one woman. Sigh.
By: tuesdaymidnight on October 8, 2009
at 10:12 am
Conan is a big enough ride for two.
By: sassysmart on October 8, 2009

this shiz made me laugh so hard!
By: Holly on October 8, 2009

conan is defs a big enough ride for all of us! HAHAHA ive seen him in person. (almost died).
he is my density!

Top that!

My hairdressers boyfriend is neighbors with a guy who used to be friends with a tattoo artist that went to school with Conan’s brothers ex-girlfriend’s second cousin.

Nice!!
Always true if it involves the hairdresser.
They DON’T lie, that’s a known fact
By: lovemesomecullens on October 8, 2009
at 7:34 pm
Ditto, I love me some Conan. I’ve had a crush on him since forevers. (Also, I hope his people find their way to his lusty fans on this blog)
By: DontQuestionMe on October 8, 2009
at 1:16 pm
He definitely should have made it to number one. After all, this man can make millions of womens panties go *poof* and he doesn’t have to even touch them. He just shows up on the internet with a bare chest and a happy trail……….and….*POOF* Um, what were we talking about again?
By: GuitarGirl on October 8, 2009
at 9:16 am
IS Rob an influential person?
I firmly believe that Rob has lowered the divorce rate in the world by giving many marriages a *boost* in the bedroom….just close your eyes girls and all is good in the bedroom department once more.

By: Cazza on October 8, 2009

Rob is number one on my list.
Here’s my top ten ways Robbie P. has influenced me:
10. Think of him on a nightly basis while I lay next to my clueless husband.
9. Stop at every magazine rack in the supermarket to see what kind of papi shot I can sink my teeth in.
8. To listen to Never Think and Let Me Sign over and over and over again on my iPod while reading LTR.
7. When my daughter calls him Mr. Twilight, I just shake my head and agree.
6. When I hear the words Rob, Pat, Son, I instantly get excited. (Unfortunately my mom’s name is Pat.. so I hear it a lot)
5. Steal my daughters Teen Bop and other teeny magazines out of her bedroom.
4. Do random searches on google for Rob so I can photoshop myself into the pic.
3. Dare anyone to say he’s a bad actor. I’ll go rounds with them.
2. Dressed my son up as Cedric Diggory for halloween last year.
1. and the number 1 reason how he’s influenced me… Posters of Rob outnumber the amount of Kids photos I have up in my house.

By: poochimama on October 8, 2009
at 12:33 pm
LOL! You took the words right out of my mouth! Except for my daughter calls him Edward, my mom’s name is Tina, and I have 2 girls, so no Cedric Diggory for us!! =( But I do have posters all up in my room!! 😉 And I’m 34 years old…today! LOL!

Happy Birthday 🙂
My BFF has Rpatz posters in her living room.. mine are limited to my bedroom and my daughters rooms… so she’s got one up on me…

Does someone have a thing for the redheads, Moon? How do you feel about Ron Weasley? Be honest. I have a thing for Fred and George.
Of course Rob is influential. Way more influential than Don Draper. Don Draper has never made me do anything. Rob has made me buy a series of teen vamp romance books, buy my one and only issue of GQ, and revert back to a 12 year old girl squealing over 2 minutes of footage at the VMAs. That definitely earns him a spot in the top 10 Askmen.com!!

PS. You included my favorite picture ever!! Super score!

To me, Rob’s is the number 1!!! Always and forever.
By: southernbelle on October 8, 2009

I was hoping he’d be #7 so when I go around quoting “Friends” “SEVEN!!!!” it would mean so much more to me….true story.
By: Jena on October 8, 2009
at 9:38 am
I’m surprised that men find Rob influential. Or maybe they’re just giving him props for getting their ladies all fired up.
Love your pics and captions – especially the “Influence THIS Don Draper”. So much win I almost can’t stand it. That should be sent to AskMen.com as your rebuttal.
By: TheColdWoman on October 8, 2009
at 9:41 am
I can only say that he is only influencial to men because they are all probably getting laid more often.
OR
He is on the list because askmen.com is like every other media outlet that knows having Rob anywhere in the publication/website will drive traffic.
Either way…he’s on the list.
By: sassysmart on October 8, 2009
at 9:41 am
Love your theory on why Rob was included – to drive web traffic! You are probably right. My hubby met a (former) editor of Cookie magazine on his flight to LA last week and has asked me if I ever read that magazine. I said no, but to tell her that if they had a story about Rob, I’d buy two copies (one to read and one to save in case my daughter tried to steal the first). Too bad it will never happen – Cookie and 3 other Hearst magazines got shut down 3 days later. If only they had the sense to exploit Rob’s influence . . .

Conversation between DH and I while chilling out:
Me: Hmm, I love your stubble honey.
Hubby: Yeah? You never liked it before. You only started liking it when you saw Rob had stubble (emphasis on Rob).
Me: Oh….right. Well you should thank Rob then. 🙂
Yup, Rob is extremely influential! I’ve changed standards!

So Moon, when are we starting LettersToConan.com? He’s the only man who can dress up like he’s in a barbershop quartet with a pitch pipe on his belt and still make me giggleswoon.

Most of the men I know are pretty intimidated by Rob’s appeal to all of us. It blows my mind that they voted for him.
Or, maybe swansong is right about the committee.
I choose to believe that they’re just as helpless against his immense appeal as we are!
By: Christa64c on October 8, 2009
at 9:50 am
And then this: “and as much as I love Don Draper (#1) how in the HALE did he, a fictional TV character win out over Barack Obama (#3!!), leader of the free world. WTF?”
All I can see in my head is Rob saying “I’m the leader of the free world, and what do you do? Loser”… but it sounds more like “looza” because of the british, bang eff me hard accent.
By: Kristin on October 8, 2009

I’ll call you whatever you want, Rob.

I think Rob made the list, though it was voted on by men, because men have figured out how much Influence Rob has had in their bedroom!….ifyouknowwhatimsayin……It’s their way of saying thank-you.
By: lapushbaby on October 8, 2009
at 10:05 am
You got that right!
By: southernbelle on October 8, 2009
at 10:26 am
You think some of the men who voted were choosing more who they wanted to be in the moment then who was actually influential? Don Draper? That’s just about every man’s idol…intelligent, wealthy, gorgeous, gets tons of tail – kinda like Rob. Well Rob could get tons of tail, he just shouldn’t limit himself!
By: Kendall on October 8, 2009
at 10:08 am
How in the HALE is Barack Obama not #1? Kill me please. Now.
Also I am kinda sad that Rob is actually on the list What does he do? Influence women to waste time on blogs, reading smutty FF, & oogling creepy youtube videos? Ignore their RL lovers? Wear Plaid?!?!?!
(& yes I do all of the above. Suck it!)
Oh well. I should be grateful, I suppose. At least it isn’t Spencer Pratt. Creeptastic.
By: fangbanger06 on October 8, 2009
at 10:21 am
so true – Rob only influences me to waste time (like right now, reading this and posting my silly little comments). But it is such a pleasant form of time wasting.
By: milfy goodness on October 8, 2009

Rob most definitely influences my sex life. Every night. For the better. Thanks, Rob!

The fact that men even know who Rob is (I have many guy friends who hate Twi and Rob and have multiple “Keifer’s vamp would KILL your ‘Rob” debates) is proof that the dude has the POWAH!

Oh.. I get into the “Underworld vs. Twilight” fight all the time with my friends.
At least Rob doesn’t run around in tight leather, hugging his body, with his hair dripping wet from the…
Oh craptastic… Rob should have been in Underworld….

I would’ve preferred to see him making out with Kate Beckinsale in the rain that looking all SERIOUS in TWEED dumping KStew any day!

I think you’ve got to add that he’s helped sell a few Van Morrison CDs and definitely increased the popularity of Kings of Leon. His influence is really kind of astounding. Surprisingly the men got it–even at #44.
Loved your post, moon.

Dude, Ryan Seacrest, asslicker though he may be, does produce like 99.6% of the shows on TV… therefore I think he’s probably should be #1. Just don’t tell him he’s number 1, he’ll get an even bigger head than he already has (yeah, guess which head I’m talking about).
Also, Rob doesn’t need MARIO to teach him how to make hot pockets. I clearly already did that on my blog in June:

dayum! at least he made the list!
maybe it was his influence on the hot pocket appreciation committee to get him on the list.. or microwaving carrots.. hey, its a new revelation!

Don’t be hatin’ on our man, sister-wife-lady!
Though as much as I do love that giant ginger, I’m not entirely sure why he would be so high on the list… and I’m too lazy to read the article. But if #HotAlex ever makes the list, I won’t question it because I know how influential he is on you and the other ladies…

I love me some Don Draper, but I concur. HOW did a fictional character make it to #1?! I know the actor who plays him would be no where near the list. His disheveliness outside of being Don bothers me. It’s like he says to himself, “Self, be the furthest you can be from Don in appearance b/c the ladies love the disheveliness. Just look at RPattz!”
Uh. NO.
Sorry Don, the disheveliness only seems to work for RP. I ain’t attracted to your greasy, sloppy look. Don’t ask me to explain. It’s just so. The way of the universe.
That is all.

You need to go see kristenstewartwantsit.wordpress.com to see the apt and hilarious comparison of Don Draper and Jon Hamm (the actor who plays him) and their want vs KStew’s want. It is GOLD!

Oh, I’ve already read that. Didn’t you know? I’m a sister wife (#5 I believe). I may have been the one to direct all us crazies over to J in the first place. I’m sure he loves us sooo much now. 😉

I love Mario- but I am sick of those orange crocs. I think Lance should have been closer to the top of the list- he is an amazing inspiration- I think RPattz hair could be considered influential!?!?

I haven’t liked Lance since he cheated on his wife with who was it, Sheryl Crow? After that woman bore his children and stood by him while he had cancer. Some men are just dawgs, and I don’t go for that kinda thing.
I mean, sure, I secretly, or maybe no so much, lust after RPattz, but my husband doesn’t KNOW all the details, no harm, no foul.
This is a double standard, yes, but I don’t care. Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Boo, Boo

He has greatly influenced my battery buying habits. Just got a thank you letter from Duracell. I’ll forward it on to his hotness (and I should probably CC it to tby789 for The Office.)

Really?! Ryan Seacrest…Really?! Makes me wonder what kind of “men” put this list together…..
Congrats to Rob, though, I mean let’s all be honest…he certainly “influences” all of us; otherwise we wouldn’t be here.

Askmen.com gets it wrong all the time and this list is no exception. I love Don Draper, but to put a philandering fictional character ahead of President Obama is just another example of their complete buffoonery.

That is precisely why you should never “askmen” anything. Women are in charge. Don’t question it.

I agree. Most men I know just wander around aimlessly until the woman in chare of them tells them where to go. When they go off on their own, they almost always do stupid stuff like get influenced by TV Characters. For instance, my husband seems to have taken a page out of the Homer Simpson Husband/Father Maunal. All men are idiots and I’m married to their king 🙂

This gives new meaning to “under the influence”
(That’s what she said)
Sidenote: I am thinking maybe Kellan should have made the list, cause I am seeing all kinds of ‘soccer dads’ around with that stupid grandpa hat that he always wears.

“#16 – Conan O’Brien – DUH! he should be #1. He should also be my lovah” HAHAHA TRUTH!! And when I say truth I mean I want him for my lovah too. 🙂 He comes in #2 only second to Rob.

Puting it the way you put it.. YES he is the most influential man in 2009… themayority of them I don´t know who they are except for Leonel Messi, Conan O´brian and Obama (he should had been #1) Who the hell is tht guy who is #1???.
Anyway Rob is the most influencial man to us, women and to the men, husbans or boyfriends of the women they lost when we watched Twilight.

Conan O’Brien has been surpassed in my ginge-man loving list by Joel McHale.
If you help me get him (again, nuts to his wife and kid!) you can have CoCo.
Oh and I would totally bookmark letterstoCoCo.com – make it happen Moonie!
