Des Moines | Why Nemitz is drawing readers here

[July 2008 issue of Des Moines' Juice featured a shirtless Nemitz]

For several days, I've noticed more and more readers coming to Gannett Blog to read something I wrote long ago -- July 2008 -- about an issue of The Des Moines Register's youth-focused Juice section. Drawing these new readers here: their Google searches for an Iowa guy named Jordan Nemitz. Now I know why.

Aspiring model Nemitz, 26 (left), was featured in a racy sex issue of Juice way back then. Now, Nemitz is in the news again, the Register says, because he's one of three finalists in the Body Heat Hottest Bod in the World Contest.

Looks like the Juice editors picked a (potential) winner!

  2. I'm taking note of good work by the Register in spotting this up-and-coming model.

  3. The chick or the dude? How can something that happened July 2008 be "up and coming?"

  4. If this is what passes for journalism the country is deep trouble. I can't believe Gannatt would allow this as serious news content.

  5. Focusing on the great things people do... staying in shape, motivating others, living a healthy life... YOU DON'T THINK THAT PASSES AS JOURNALISM??

    Ha, now that's an inspiring story in my book!

  6. I'm going to have to agree with the last comment made... CELEBRATION is journalism! Let's celebrate achievements from ALL avenues. Journalism does not always have to entail seriousness.

    On a side note, jealousy is a terrible terrible thing!
