Idle threat of the week

In a decision that has geo-political agitators from Syria to Iran scratching their heads in disbelief, our panel of judges has awarded Justin Timberlake the Idle Threat of the Week for July 10 to July 17.

His threat to "bring sexy back" has made the former boy-bander the first ever back-to-back winner of the coveted crown.

Sexy was all over the place during the 80's, but disappeared in 1992 after a public shaming by a couple male-model wannabes in black-fishnet shirts.

Our panel does not doubt sexy may one day return. But by awarding Justin Timberlake the Idle Threat of The Week they are betting he won't be the one to shepherd sexy back from its self-imposed exile.

Nominations for next week's award will be accepted on this space.
