Because I avoid info about pop culture and “celebrities” to the degree humanly possible, who is this person and what ill-advised public comment did he presumably make?

    Google returns a whole bunch of links to blogs all reposting the boing boing post, and that’s about it.

Ryan Gosling is pretty.

To my knowledge, he has not said anything embarrassing. Rather, this is like Cat n’ Racks, an attempt to combine two awesome things (in this case, pretty pictures of Ryan Gosling and dorky statistics jokes).

His brand as a competent actor has been completely destroyed – he has been recreated as nothing more than a farce now.

  What, like the Six Million Dollar Man in negative, farcical terms? I don’t get it.

Is that really all it takes? Because there are plenty of people out there whose brands I wouldn’t mind completely destroying if it’s that simple.

For the last few weeks, we here in Toronto have been enjoying the sensible urban policy stylings of TO Poli Wonk Ryan Gosling. http://topoliryangosling.tumblr.com/

Obviously inspired by Typographer Ryan Gosling:

…which has clearly started a Ryan Gosling tumblr trend.

I agree with hassenpfeffer, there has to be more of a correlation. Something he’s said or done. If I were to make a guess, it would have to be related to a roll he played but didn’t pull off. I would understand this meme if it was one of the Big Bang Theory actors.

No mention of effect sizes! Ryan needs to get with the times.
