There is a battle brewing here at annabelle magazine headquarters: Which loverboy from which version of The Office is dreamier? Tim from the BBC version has his fans, but Jim-girls, loyal to the American version's sweet-faced hottie are ardent (and not alone; John Krasinski was named one of People's "Sexiest Men Alive"). So, in the name of science, we break it down to determine the winner.

Cuteness Categories:	Tim	Jim
Accent:	British	Scranton by way of Arizona
Hair:	Modified Caesar bowl cut	Kinda shaggy like the cute guy from your French class.
Object of his affection:	Dawn	Pam
What she's got that we don't got:	Silky blonde hair	Endearing ennui (Our ennui is just annoying)
Object of his scorn:	Gareth	Dwight
Preferred prank:	Encasing Gareth's stapler in Jell-O	Looking adorable. And naughty. At the same time.
Facial hair:	None	None
Level of alcoholism:	Elevated	Possible
Degree of pathos:	Great	Manageable
Kiss-ability (based on nose to lip size ratio):	Lips are Brit-thin but very kissable	Do love that 'schnozzle
Cool car?:	Unsure	Red hot boy-mobile
Job prospects:	Slim to none	Untold
Real life cute thing he does:	In real life, Martin Freeman actively works with PETA to free KFC chickens. *sigh*	John Krasinski is adapting David Foster Wallace's brainy book Brief Interviews with Hideous Men into a movie. *sigh*
And the winner is...		Jim! (Note: Editor Sarah disagrees with my decision, she says that Martin Freeman is a "better actor" but she didn't write this piece, now did she?)
