It’s all the same when the lights are off

The mayor of Canberra, Australia is looking for some ugly women! Mayor Molony believes that the 5-1 ration of men to women in his town can be solved by importing less than stunning companionship for the men, based on the belief that the women will be grateful for the attention.
“Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face. Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness,” Molony told the Townsville Bulletin newspaper last week.
Well that reinforces the joke I heard at the Grand Ole Opry a couple of weeks ago: “Getting applause is like making love to an old maid. Can’t get enough of it.” Guess sex = happy.
The mayor even has a winning motto/slogan for his idea:
“Some, in other places in Australia, need to proceed to Mount Isa, where happiness awaits. Really, beauty is only skin deep. Isn’t there a fairy tale about an ugly duckling that evolves into a beautiful swan?”
See, fairy tales do come true! WOW! Maybe he needs to add a mascot and some amusement park rides.
This brilliance and the desire to provide “an opportunity for some lonely women” has not met with his town’s full approval.
“It paints the women here as second rate and suggests the men will settle for anything. I think it’s quite disgusting,” Mount Isa domestic violence worker Shirley Slann told the Courier Mail newspaper Monday.
I wonder how the men of the town feel about this? What says stellar, awesome relationship more than sex out of desperation and no love?
Yeah, that idea will work. Well if Helen Thomas can go there and get a man, maybe I’ll get my passport.

Why do they have to be women? There are a lot of effeminate guys walking around here. We can always claim Caveat emptor. This would increase the genetic women to man ratio here and improve our overall testosterone density.

I was so not prepared for that last picture. I think I need the eye wash now…or maybe the brain bleach.

Oh my GOD!!!!! I used to think that truly ugly women were rare. Not as long as Helen is around. She has no redeeming features at all.
