Australian town mayor pleads for ‘ugly women’
Tuesday, August 19, 2008

Interesting article on CNN that I thought I would share with you all…

Mayor John Molony found himself under attack Monday over comments he made to a local newspaper that read: “May I suggest 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.”

The mayor added that many women who already live in the remote Queensland state town seem quite happy.

“Quite often you will see walking down the street a lass who is not so attractive with a wide smile on her face,” he continued. “Whether it is recollection of something previous or anticipation for the next evening, there is a degree of happiness.”

The quotes, published Saturday in the Townsville Bulletin, sparked outrage among the town’s female population, led to furious online debates and drew criticism from the local chamber of commerce.

I find it incredible that a political figure would dare say such a thing! But I do thank him for an extraordinary sense of humor and the few laughs that he brought to my day…
