Morrissey Still Rules as the Messiah of Mope
Morrissey can still whip 'em into a froth by removing his shirt, which he did several times at three sold-out concerts in Pasadena over the weekend. According to one concertgoer, there was a near riot as fans played a tug-of-war over one of what the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin called the "holy cloths": "Although security wasn't any tighter than usual, it managed to keep Morrissey's overzealous admirers off the stage until the end of the evening (one guy broke away and touched the singer)."
Glad to see he's still got it in him.

WOW! Is he fat or what?
Posted by: Mark | Feb 5, 2007 11:23:29 AM
Considering he's nearly 50, I'd say he's doing ok physically. And he's not fat. Geez, people.

As a gay man who looks to the images on this site (and ads) for reference, this is F-A-T! Pig fat.
Diet time!

Fat? Can we be any more shallow?

Right on, Morrissey. Looking good...
He could shed the few extra pounds by obsessively counting calories, smoking a pack of cigs a day, snorting some crystal, spending more time at the gym, or a combination of all of the above.
Or he can just keep putting himself out there. There's nothing sexier than a man with confidence, talent, and something to say. Defined abs are fun to look at and touch but are highly overrated outside of the vacuum of common gay sensibility.

All you body nazis will be desperate to look that good when you're his age.

Hot!
I am the son! And the heir!

Girlfriend is looking good. While I'm no fan of Morrissey, I must say that his sexiness quotient has actually gone UP as he gets older. No more sexual abstinence = HOT.

I wanna rip those pants down and suck on his man size manicotti. Yum, yum.

At the moment the photo was taken he must've been singing "You're the One for Me, Fatty" from the album Your Arsenal.

GOD!
I have been instantly turned off by all of you. No wonder I have turned away from being cast with the gays. These comments are of the most shallow ridiculous bizarre fucked pieces of no brain nonsense I have ever bore witness to . . .
GOD! how sad for you.
I mean with this limited of brain expanse how do you get across the street? Or find your way home at night?

I LOVE Morrisey. He has hot before and he's hot now. He's near fifty and many of the people here that call him 'fat' wish they'd reach (or had reached) that age looking that good. Oh, and I want to see pictures of the fat-bashers with their shirts off. On stage.

Putting on my best Streisand voice I will break out into song. "Gee! How shallow can you get? Wrap it up, I'll take it is my favorite phrase... etc."
The body worshippers in this place are so shallow. Personally I like a man who shows he doesn't sacrifice eating for 6-pack abs and a 28 inch anorexic waist.
I know little about Morrissey but I would love to tap him.

He is fat. It's ok.
As I write this message I look to my right of the screen only to see a cover man on DNA in a pink bikini. Why wouldn't everyone else look fat.
That's the whole point of this site. To play to the stupid ass gay ideal. Andy helps propogate it through his choice of advertisers. I understand the need ($$$$), just don't expect me or anyone else to rise above being shallow when it's force fed to me every time I come to this site.

I love when guys get pissed off by the comments concerning weight. Makes me think they are the fat ones on this site who get angry that society sees them that way. If you're fat, you are fat. Own it or do something about it. It's that simple. Don't get all pissed off, get up and get into a gym.
Posted by: Steven K. | Feb 5, 2007 2:36:24 PM
Viva Morrissey!! He always made this gay boy swoon!
Posted by: Pinky | Feb 5, 2007 2:37:32 PM
Pinky,
With a name like that, I'm guessing a floating feather would make you swoon.

I'll take my fat Morrissey over the vapid, nasty, skinny boys who post idiot messages like Mark and Bruce C any day.

You're just vapid. I happen to like Morrisey the way he looks in that picture. He's REAL. Oh, and I do weigh 145 lbs and I do have a 30 inch waist. Nevertheless, I would choose a guy looking (and singing) like Morrisey any day over a beauty like you (becuase I'm assuming that you are under 23, have a 28-inch waist and perfect skin and muscles). You're not fat? More power to you, but not everybody has five hours a day to dedicate to the gym, dear.

Daniel-
Spoken like a true fatty!
I'm not saying their isn't value in all humans, fat or thin. I am saying that the ideal is flawless. That's what is marketed, that's the porn most people purchase and that's what we prefer when a guy is sitting naked in a steam room.
I consider myself to be in exceptional shape. It's not because I don't hold down a great job, but rather, it's because I don't live for the family TV hour (8pm-11pm each and every night). Instead, I do things. I go to the gym, take long walks with friend, ride my bike or do a sport. Why shouldn't I be proud of my physical stature.
Get off your ass, get to the gym and improve yourself if I offend you with my comments. I can't stand how people like you are all over guys like me. It's a two way street. As you see me a vapid and self-entitled, I see you as bitter and angry (sitting there eating your next tweenki!).
It's that simple!
Posted by: Mark | Feb 5, 2007 3:18:09 PM
fat is the new black!
Posted by: sean | Feb 5, 2007 3:41:15 PM
I think fat can be sexy, if you know how to wear it correctly. Unfortunately, most people don't.

I'm a big boned boy. Especially in the boner dept.

Love this man!!! Love the fact he´s getting coverage on this site, too. & Love the photo. Morrissey is so awesome in so many ways. Glad to know the security let the right one slip in at the end of the show. Saw him at the Boston Orpheum in i guess 1997 for the Maladjudted tour and he was full-throttle hot.
