Wanted: Ugly Women

(Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia) Mayor John Molony of this heavily-male, mining community has appealed for "ugly" women to come, live and find love in Mount Isa. Molony's exact words, reportedly, were:

"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."
Molony also said that ugly women appeared happy with a five-to-one male-to-female ratio which is hardly surprising.

Needless to say, the women are outraged. (Story)


[Update 8/19/08] The beauty-disadvantaged women demonstrated in protest and called for Mayor Moloney's resignation. (Story w/pic)
