Men finally come to their senses and tire of Megan Fox overexposure

It may seem unlikely, but the men of America are sick of Megan Fox.
A dozen male-focused Web sites including AOL's men's lifestyle/humor site Asylum.com — as well as Ask Men, Just a Guy Thing and Double Viking — have sanctioned Aug. 4 as a Megan Fox media blackout day.

Why the diss? All the editors feel the starlet has become a bit too overexposed — and they're not just talking about her fashion sense. Fox has appeared on the covers of Esquire, Empire, Maxim, GQ UK, Entertainment Weekly and Elle this year alone, plus she did heavy press for her role as Mikaela Banes in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."

"You can have too much of a good thing," says AskMen.com's Editor-in-Chief James Bassil, who tells us, "We're joining in the media blackout and giving our readers a one-day reprieve from the woman we've been drowning in all summer."

Jokes Doug Sheckler of on205th.com: "She needs to do more to earn our undying praise and affection. For instance, she hasn't even returned any of my calls this year asking for a date. What's up with that?"

All kidding aside, most of the men do admit to still lusting after the actress, but are ready for Fox to pass the hot torch on to their other celebrity crushes. "Listen, we love Megan. She's responsible for driving more eyeballs to our sites — just by getting photographed walking down the street in a white T-shirt — than any other celeb alive," says Eric Rogell of TheBachelorGuy.com. But while he professes his love for the raven-haired beauty, he says he's ready for more diverse eye candy.

"It's time to give another young actress a shot at the attention," he says. "We're taking a one-day break from covering Megan's latest nail polish color and instead promoting another 'Next Big Thing.'"
So who is Fox's likely replacement? "My vote is for ["The Unborn" actress] Odette Yustman," says Rogell. "I call her 'The Poor Man's Megan Fox.'"

Uhm, by doing this aren't they just giving her more exposure? This story is going to be reported all over the place.

Plus they get grossed out when they discover she has a toe-thumb.

She's no more overexposed than any other actor promoting their movie.
Sure she says stupid things but she's still hot as hell.

True, but it does serve to maybe give Megan a hint that she needs to cut back just a wee bit on the exposure. If she gets the message, all the better.
