The Ugly Truth

An Australian mayor was recently given an award for "most sexist comment of the year" for encouraging ugly women to come to his little outback town. He says that out there, even the ugliest of ducklings can find a little love. Probably with a big, sweaty, Vegemite-guzzling, Foster's-chugging guy named Steve, but love nonetheless.

I say, what's the big problem? Sure, it was sexist. Sure, it was crass. Sure, it was insulting to both women and to the people of his town. OK, I guess it is a big problem.
