Yes, but for some men, they have to find a new hiding place for them whenever it’s time to flip the mattress.

Would have been better to say “not pretty” than ugly. Or some longer combination of words.

If I had any idea such a thing did not already exist, I would have tried to create one! Stupid assumptions!

There’s such an obvious market for it, and not just in modeling but in any visual media. You don’t always want your representative to look like a perfect pretty thing.

Informally, this is done in films, usually, sadly, by seeking “interesting” (ugly) faces for villains, but sometimes for heroes or extras or whatever.

(Guy with the lightbulb-head though…)

Peg Bundy is hot. So is Eric Foreman’s mom.

Take from that what you will :P

Well, it doesn’t matter online, baby! The internet is the great equalizer. :-) And seriously, I personally do not recoil from people who fall short of the incredibly high and sometimes twisted standards of “beauty” society tries to impose on us. I have honestly been in situations in which I’m looking at a stranger in the mall or something, thinking how beautiful and happy the person looks, only to have someone comment on how unattractive or plain or fat they think the same person is. It’s a shock to me every time something like that happens. I don’t know why I don’t see “ugliness” the same way other people do without objectifying people’s appearances from an analytical point of view. But there you have it. I hope my kids are learning from me to look at people without such harsh judgment, too. Life is more fun that way, I’ve found.

You’d be rejected because you’re too pretty for the ugly modeling agency, or because you’re too ugly even for them? ;-)

The second thing :/

They’re not me. Trust me, I would be rejected out of hand.

BTW, when I said I’d classify some of the people in the video as ugly, I meant that if I objectively evaluated them based on our society’s standards of beauty, I’d be forced to classify them as unattractive. I didn’t mean I personally found them to be ugly. I honestly don’t think I’d give any of them a second look if I passed them on a city street. Again, there were some crazy-ugly people in the British ugly models clip. These folks–not so much.

To clarify, there were a few in the video clip that I’d classify as ugly

They’re not me. Trust me, I would be rejected out of hand.

Until they had sex with me. Then they’d be at the mercy of ugly sex. And we all know that Ugly sex is best.

/okay I’m done
//ugly, wasn’t it

Ummm, most of those people aren’t ugly

True. Check out Snaggletooth.

They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

Spike!

What good would AllahPundit’s hands be for modeling…what with the fingers typed down to the bone, and all.

I would have figured for the text AP would use a voice-recognition program to save all the typing, but when he said he sounded like that NYC councilman – well he probably couldn’t get one with an 8 sec delay:)

I know I do. I’m a handsome fancy gentleman with fists of justice and lips of pure delight.

Made me laugh tears Ugly. Thank you!

Not if you’re a hand model.

Ah, you got me there. :-)

I think this trend is kinda cool.
