I occasionally touch on standards of beauty and couldn't help but notice this uh, charmingstory:
Life can get a little lonely for bachelors in the Australian Outback mining town of Mount Isa. So the mayor has offered up a solution: recruit ugly women. Mayor John Molony found himself under attack Monday over comments he made to a local newspaper that read: "May I suggest if there are five blokes to every girl, we should find out where there are beauty-disadvantaged women and ask them to proceed to Mount Isa."
Beauty-disadvantaged women? Now in my opinion, valuing an individual's quality on appearances is a bit prehistoric. We ladies generally take offense when we're judged solely on superficial attributes, and furthermore, Mr. Molony seems to be suggesting that his male voters will settle for anything. Then again, given this unenlightened fellow was elected, maybe they will.
Quite often you will see walking ...
