Regent Media is going on a firing spree as gay print media continues to fall, but it is what production manager Brian Lindsey did that is really making headlines about whats going on over at the Advocate.

Lindsey evidently sent out this picture to the entire staff at the Advocate on Friday when he found out he was getting fired.

I'm not exactly sure what Lindsey's message is on this one, but it's a pretty hot picture.  There seems to be some debate as to whether Brian is the guy in the skirt or the guy with the sock.  Either way, they're both easy on the eyes!

Maybe that was Brian's parting gift to his former fellow Advocate staffers? It may have also been a stunt to try and get a gig at another gay media outlet.  If he wears skimpy clothes like this to work every day (and if we had the need for a production manager), I'd probably hire him!

Managing editor John Jameson, art director Craig Edwards, photo editor Meghan Quinn, copy editor Teresa Morrison and associate publisher Mike Phelps were also fired at the Advocate.  They, as far as we know, didn't send out nearly naked photos of themselves though.

Rumor has it the Advocate is going to fold and become an insert to sister publication, Out.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.  Meanwhile, we have to thank Brian Lindsey for the sexy photo!
