The Lumberjack Returns, Pay Homage to Maddox

aom_cover_main.jpg

Adpulp passes us another goodie via the Scotsman, who posits sweet-smelling metrosexuals are (finally!) bowing out for the retrosexual – or, as Maddox would say, the lumberjack.

While Adpulp ruminates over the presence of Burt’s Bees in the market, we’re going to take a shot in the dark and say the guy who gave us “9 things I learned about the world according to anonymous stock photo models” is also directly responsible for the return of the flannel-sporting burly man.

And if you don’t believe us, you clearly haven’t read The Alphabet of Manliness.

Maddox fucking rules, in great part because his homepage was bitchslapping society even before the post-post-modern hipsters snorting the Kool-Aid were old enough to chat on AOL.

Research suggests the people society calls “wise” rarely experience it that way from the inside — what feels like wisdom to others often feels like exhaustion to the person carrying it, because knowing how things work doesn’t make them easier, it makes them clearer, and clarity without the power to change anything is its own kind of quiet suffering
