    Gostoso is all I gotta say

    Whats happened to Japhy?? When did he leave??

  • Alexander

    Number 4 is just stunning!

  • hardmannyc

    Very handsome. Doesn’t really look japanese (to me) – whatever that means.

  • Scott

    That was nice – thanks.

  • Michael

    This editor is such an a*hole…did he fire Japhy for telling him his redesign sucked? (Because it still does)

  • getreal

    @Michael: It was probably an economic issue we are in a recession and media is being affected. The editor is also the owner if GM is making cuts smaller companies are REALLY being affected.

  • Mike Barton

    Gotta love DSL!

    Umm…that’s because he’s not. It clearly states at the top that he’s of brazillian-japanese descent,which makes him biracial. There’s a huge japanese population in Brazil btw…Sao Paulo in particular.

    In any case he’s fucking beautiful.

    JAPHY IS GONE???
    no goodbye?
    WTF?

  • getreal

    @rogue dandelion: I agree here is his twitter talking about it. Plus there is a pic of him who knew he was cute.

    @getreal:How many people are employed here? Take a look at the masthead and you’ll have the answer. For the lazy, on the editorial side, we have three people. Our site founder and Jossip-guru David Hauslaib is our fearless leader, Cord Jefferson is our Managing Editor and then there’s yours truly, your editor, Japhy Grant.

    It is not like they had extra baggage… besides Japhy seems to write the majority of the posts.

    Well as a business owner the recession is hitting a lot of people and it seems like a prudent time for most companies to streamline. I am a fan of the site.

  • AJ

    @Michael: That’s not what it says now.

  • vernonvanderbilt

    Wow, this is a nice lookin’ fella here. I think Queerty has finally managed to get me drooling over someone. Look at those lips! Seriously, go to pic #2 and look at those lips.

  • Michael W.

    Queerty just lost a few IQ points without Japhy. He was part of what made the site great.

    @Michael:

    Looks like Queerty folded it’s Jossip site. Cord Jefferson is no longer listed as managing editor. This is so sad. I really enjoyed the changes to Queerty that Japhy and Cord implemented.

    I don’t understand why Japhy wasn’t allowed to say goodbye.

    Best wishes to Japhy and Cord!

    @ChristopherM:

    Thanks

    @getreal:

    But he as included other staff…..

    @Michael W.:

    I think he was fired that’s why. Andrew left, so he could say goodbye…

    I liked Japhy too, thought he was good for the site, I noticed there wasn’t more depth in the content written. I was more abrasive and not open to creating discussion..

  • John from England(used to be just John but there are other John's)

    @blake:

    Yeah, I liked Cord too.

    But Jossip was always struggling with comments..

    It’s ironic because Queerty is getting more views then it has in the past…

  • John from England(used to be just John but there are other John's)

    @getreal:

    Lol ‘who knew he was cute’!

    You’re too deep Getreal! Does it make it that more bitterweet? 😉

  • GranDiva

    The booty’s not as round as I might like, but still…

  • sparkle obama

    @hardmannyc:

    it means you are Culturally Myopic w/mild tourrette’s!

  • getreal

    @John from England(used to be just John but there are other John’s): I admit I’m a little more sad now that I know what a hottie he is LOL!
