The best part of creating Top 5 Sexy Lady lists, besides getting paid to ogle bikini photos all day trying to find "a good one," is reading the hilariously vitriolic comments from people who actually take these lists seriously. While we once suffered a bout of teary eyes when a Sexiest Albums of All Time post was met with a "worst. list. ever" comment, we've since come to appreciate that kind of response as if it were a good sparring session.

Case in point: Double Viking, a Web site dedicated to being crass, crude, and entirely hysterical, put up a brutal and soul-crushing response to our Top 5 Women Sexier Than Kate Beckinsale post. We already love them for using the words our foul-mouthed grandmother blurts out when she's drunk and forgets everyone's still in the room. We love them for pointing out that we should celebrate female porn stars, since they're no different from the Hollywood starlets who occasionally bore up "The Daily Show." Plus, we love them for being honest with us.

However, Double Viking -- while agreeing with our rejection of Beckinsale as the Sexiest Woman Alive -- then chose some obscure but ultimately spot-on ladies of their own, immediately falling into the same trap we did. That's because ranking sex appeal is all about personal taste and playing that game makes us no better than Esquire.

No one is going to comment if they 100 percent agree with your selections and the order in which you placed them, but everyone who disagrees with elements of your post is going to make sure they get a vote in for their favorites.

Double Viking, we forgive you for your personal attack. As the men's Web site of greatest character, we'll take the high road and not refer to you as a bunch of degenerate twits or classless buttmunchers. That, like creating another crappy Top 5 list in response, would be too easy.
