This Ben Thompson is (presumably) a well-known radio personality somewhere in the country.  However, he's pretty much excluded from the "Hottest Ben Thompson" running because he's only sixteen years old.  Oh yeah, and he was born in 1989.  Does that make you feel old?  It should.  Yeah, anyone born before 1990 is potentially eligible to drive.  I remember what I was doing 1990, so seriously what the fuck?

Plus Hot Andrea has this thing for having crushes on radio guys, so by association I generally attempt to disqualify radio personalities from any sort of objectively-based competitions that I have a hand in deciding.  Sure, it's petty, but then again I am too.  However, since it's my website, I'm going to proclaim myself hotter than this Ben Thompson.

There's not a lot of good Geology-based television out there, but I would probably watch this guy on the Discovery Channel if he did some Xtreme Geology shit like eat rocks and ride a waverunner around a lava pool or a tar pit or something.  I mean, look at this Ben Thompson... he's totally prepared for all kinds of shit.  He's got the shovel slung over his back, the bitchin' Geology Hat, the Science Bags, a canteen, Geology Boots... he could totally be the "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin of Geology if one of those networks would give him a chance and if anyone really cared about rock striations.  Plus he totally looks like he'd be one of those cool-ass grad students who could take something I generally find mind-numbingly boring like hitting small rocks with a pickaxe for eight hours and make it seem totally awesome.

Unfortunatly, being awesome is not the same as being hot, even though the two are typically not mutually exclusive (for proof, see Ben, Amazing).  So I'm going to go out on a limb and call myself hotter than this Ben Thompson.

In running this segment, I am finding that a lot of the Ben Thompsons out there are British.  It's interesting to note that there are about 1/10th as many people in Britland as there are in the U.S., but there are about twice as many Ben Thompsons.  Is that what makes Britain so cool?  Possibly.

This Ben Thompson works for the BBC in some capacity that was unclear to me in the ten seconds it took me to scan the site for a picture and save it to my hard drive.  While this B.T. certainly looks like the sort of guy who could show you where all the celebrity nightclubs are in London on a Thursday night in the Spring and has the connections to get you past the huge musclehead bouncer nicknamed "King George the Fifth", I am still hotter than him.  Though this may just be a bad picture.

This Ben Thompson kicked ass in Korea, and looks like he could be just about anyone's cool grandpa.  Like the kind of grandpa that doesn't hug you when you come to visit but says something like, "there you are, killer!" and fake boxes with you for a second, and who starts a lot of his stories with crazy crap like "back when I was in Korea..." or "so this one time I was flying a helicopter over southern France with Lana Turner and her pet monkey...".  Like the kind of stuff that you want to think he's making up because you don't want accept the fact that your grandfather has led a more Xtreme life than you, but you know it's actually all completely true.

This guy might have seen some crazy shit, but youth almost always wins the hotness battle, and I've got this one in the bag.

I wasn't really sure what was going on with the website I got this picture from.  It was basically just a big blue screen with the word "Juniors" written across the top of it and a long string of names and pictures.  The website or something was like "SlutsU.edu" or something, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not remembering that correctly.

This Ben Thompson looks like the kind of guy from your high school who all the teachers hated but who was fucking hilarious because he always did crazy shit like hide all the erasers in the classroom before the teacher showed up or throw crumpled up paper balls at his friends in detention or something.  It looks like he's probably having a hard time keeping a straight face in this picture, like one of his other jokester buddies is off camera making faces at him or doing that hand-to-mouth waving gesture that acts as the international sign for "blowjobs".

Though I may not have been as popular in high school, I am hotter than this Ben Thompson.

I think I would be pretty pissed if this was someone's artistic rendering of me.  It's like when your neighbor's asshole kid draws a stick figure picture picture with crazy hair and stink lines, labels it "YOU" and shows it to you while laughing.  Hopefully, this Ben Thompson lived up to the badassitude of his name and kicked the crap out of whoever drew this picture of him because it is certainly unflattering and makes him look like a mix between Jeffrey Dahmer and something from the 1950's version of "Night of the Living Dead".

Holy crap, there it is.  It's really not even really fair to the rest of the human population to compare a perfect male physical specimen such as myself with anyone else... maybe I should just scrap the "Hottest Ben Thompson" thing and just submit myself to People's "Sexiest Man Alive" and get it settled once and for all.

This picture was taken at the top of the stairs at the Mausoleum of Dr. Sun Yatsen in Nanjing, China and features the handsome-as-always Amazing Ben strutting it GQ-style.  I'm sporting the one hand in the pocket so that when hot Chinese babes walk by I can push my hand out and make it look like I have a huge boner because babes totally dig that.  Not that they don't dig the hotness already, but the fake boner helps.
