Hollywood is stupid

When I started seeing online banner ads for the new season of White Collar, all I could think was "WHO is that guy with Neal?" I confirmed it on the USA boards: They tinkered with Peter's face. PETER'S face! This guy right here!

I'll grant you that the horse adds a bit to the hotness factor, but there's still plenty of hotness without it. Peter doesn't have Neal's Greek-god looks, but guess what? He doesn't need them. Men can be handsome in a lot of different ways, and older guys with a little maturity on them can look every bit as good as the younger ones. Better, in a lot of cases. I know I tend to like my actors seasoned-looking, and this one is no exception.
Those dolts who made the ads took away everything that makes Peter look great, and made him into a freaking Ken doll. And that's supposed to be appealing to us.
I rest my case. Hollywood is STUPID.
