Bradley Cooper 'Sexiest Man Alive' cover sparks NYC protest, petition over Ryan Gosling snub.

Despite People magazine's decision to name the "Hangover" star this year's "Sexiest Man Alive," many disagree.

An overwhelming amount of fans took to social networking sites after Wednesday's announcement, with some news organizations (including the Daily News) posting lengthy reasons as to why Gosling was more deserving of the title.

In addition to an online petition asking People to admit its "huge mistake," a Facebook page titled "Pro-Gosling People Magazine Protest" was created in an effort for fans of the hunky Canuck to voice their opinions.

Despite the rainy weather, about a dozen Gosling devotees appeared before People magazine's office building on Sixth Avenue Thursday afternoon wearing masks bearing the actor's famous face. A number of the protesters' signs gave humorous takes as to why the actor deserved the title: "Ryan Gosling's dog has a Mohawk. Bradley Cooper doesn't even have a dog."
