Mayor calls for 'ugly' women to populate remote town

Okay, he could have been a BIT more tactful, but there does seem to be a need -- and as mayor he needs to help supply it. Keep up the good work, Maloney! You know what the people want!

I think 'Ugly Betty' is cute! Her braces will come off soon and you know she takes her glasses off for bed... hehe

Sounds like the town i live in. Very few women, even less attractive women, and most of the men leave a lot to be desired.

The precise reason i'm leaving. hehe.

Reading through this article and the comments (Like the one above me) are just perfect proof this world is going to fucking hell. What Mariamsultana said about patriarchal society couldn't be more true!! The only difference is that instead of noble blood, your cast is determined by how much you look like the international model for "hot". (skinny (!!!!), flawless skin and hair.)

Just the day before yesterday I saw a featured video for current UK that was more proof, pretty (and slutty) women get shit for free, while drab people get nothing! I'm sure if the drab version of her would have had some meat on her bones, she wouldn't have even gotten that pint at the end of that day.

This is why there are so many divorces. People don't look for shit in common, they just want to fuck the definition of hot. I have a friend who is now pretty much castrated because he got into a relationship with a hot girl, and she turned out to be (scary) freaky, controlling, and a piece of shit.

If only people bothered to look beyond skin! How many people feel bad about themselves because if they don't look like the models in the magazines, and therefore can't get anyone to like them, and are branded "ugly".

Ugly people are like my friend's girlfriend. If someone doesn't meet your idiotic standards then they shouldn't be called ugly. (shame on you, armageddon_now)

Back in my day, we just ostracized the ugly people to the far away lunch tables.

I wonder how many gay bars, porn shops, strip clubs etc. they do have there.
I'm sure it is a hell of a profitable business.

kinda insulting and sexist

that is the kind of guy i like getting smashed with . a true character .

three thoughts, however conflicting:

i hope there aren't women who really consider themselves "ugly ducklings" to the point that they would settle in this city and make such a loud statement to the rest of the world.

maybe this could be a confidence booster for some? everyone needs nookie...but i hope that no one has to go to these measures for that.

are "ugly" women not allowed to have a preference as to what type of man they want to sleep with? do they need to just take what they can get? Memo to the Australian mayor: Thank you for further enforcing our globally patriarchal society.

It's a typically Australian attitude, no nonsense politicians telling it like it is! I don't know how many takers there will be though: it's pretty much admitting that you're desperate...

It's nice to see the political correctness of the mayor. He really wants the best for his people calling on the "ugly ducklings." I wonder how much a hooker could make there and if anyone wants to help me open up a strip club there? WE'LL BE RICH!

In the land of few women, the ugly women are king.

he should send his wife...

Don't forget to post something when a mayor calls for "HOT" girls to populate a town.

Wow, I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand it's kind of insulting,

on the other hand, it's great that now women have the upper hand in that town. Let's see how high your standards are when there's one woman to 5 men.

Maybe that's kind of the problem nowadays. Men expect women to look like magazine models, and the truth is these women are very exceptional.

I'm happy my boyfriend likes me not so pretty and kind of chubby the way I am :D

I agree with MissAmanda haha.

why just ugly women?

there are plenty of "pretty" women who need a town full of men to get some...

Will they take Americans? My sister needs a boyfriend. :)

Cool, everyone deserves the chance to find love... or just get laid.

Basically: If your female and you want some, anyone in this place would be willing.

So ugly women could really use this to their advantage

All I'm hearing is that the women there have a better chance at nabbing a man. I don't know why the assumption is that all the men look like they're from the cover of GQ, because they're probably just as unattractive.

Truly insulting and somewhat disturbing.

come to Mount Isa, make some ugly babies!!!!!

Awesome! Perhaps this is the antidote to cosmetic surgery. If you think you look rough, head to the town, boost confidence, head home.

There are so many layers of wrong in this news! Bloody hell, 'ugly ducklings'..?? What, so men are gonna be less picky in Mount Isa so go there...?
