IT'S got to be a joke, right? I mean, who in their right mind could possibly vote Ben Affleck as People magazine's Sexiest Man of 2002?

For starters, the bloke is about as charismatic as a battery hen and has the pectoral development to match.

Compared to past winners Brad Pitt, Pierce Brosnan and Tom Cruise, this guy is paddling in a different pool.

The only possible explanation is that Benny boy's sex appeal has been artificially boosted by his new fiancee, Jennifer Lopez.

The allegedly sexy Ben is the inspiration for today's Omen Bet - Kembla Grange, race 5, horse No 1, Upstart.
