[Tyler]

The voice of the AFLAC duck has been named the Unsexiest Man in the World.

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried tops the list compiled by the Boston Phoenix's Web site. The list is a mix of entertainers, sports stars, even terrorists. Osama bin Laden is number eight on the list.

Any nominations for the list???

[Wanderer]

These lists (both sexiest and unsexiest) are stupid....I can easily think of a handful of people I've met over the course of my carrer that would make Godfried look like Rico Suave.

Agreed. To exclude the ranks of hideous computer geeks, it should
be "top 100 public figures who are so unattractive you wonder how
anyone can stand to point a camera at them."

Actually, it should be something like "top 100 unsexiest people popular enough for you to care that they're on this list"...and in that sense, no matter what list Godfried's on, he's won.

It's so silly how Americans can't tell the difference between "U.S.A." and "the World" (or between "man" and "well-known Hollywood type," as Wanderer points out). Yawn.

That's something of a relief. Now I know my last girlfriend was just being spiteful!

Tis our (Americans) obsession with fantasy worlds (U.S.A.) and all that entails. A good example... Walt Disney World (a county in Fl U.S.A.).

Yawn.

While we're yawning though, I would just like to pass along a story. I was once at a gathering of some fellow members of the Unitarian church, which I mention because I went to the gathering with the expectation that everyone there was, to a certain degree, "prescreened" and probably most likable. There was a man there, with his wife, whose face struck me as very unattractive, to the point where I pitied him a little. As the evening continued and I actually talked with this man, and listened to his interactions with others, I developed a sense of deep kindness and goodness in this man along with a sweet and quick wit and obvious intelligence. And I was stunned when I realized that I could no longer even see what I thought was so ugly before; I honestly could not reconstruct what I thought was so unappealing. That is, he looked different--furthermore, he looked attractive. At an intellectual level we all know this phenomenon, but I have never had a more dramatic example in my life and I will never forget it.

So the moral of the story: look beyond the "pickle face" and parrot voice to the beauty of the inner Gilbert Gottfried. Well, okay, maybe not him, but, you know, generally.

There's a difference? I couldn't tell.

...or can't tell the difference between "the last 20 years" and "of all time".

I am well aware of this phenomenon, and depend on it. Otherwise I would never get a girlfriend. (well, okay, it hasn't worked yet, but some day, I am sure I will meet someone who.... oh, nevermind.)

This is also the reason why I make a point of always being deeply kind and good and sweet, and so on.

I'm cranky this morning, in case you hadn't noticed.

Ah, okay.

So I assume this was not a meeting of folks who are fans of books with titles like "Why Women Love Men Who Treat Them Like Dirt". I've had similar experiences to yours. The thing that always amazes me is that some of the creepiest, scummiest people I've known usually have someone that loves them, or something. Unhealthy people with healthy relationships. Hard to figure.

Well, I posted this 'cause I thought it might get a larff...
Don't you hate it when you're so terribly wrong.
Oh well.

That's something of a relief. Now I know my last girlfriend was just being spiteful!

Thanks for taking it in the spirit it was intended.

Yeah, (sigh) go back to Millionaire.
