We Interupt This Broadcast...

to inform you that a recent University of Alberta study concluded Ugly Kids Get Less Attention.

I originally sent this off to The Pork Man to give him a chance to put his spin on this but I haven't heard from him and I can just NOT. LET. THIS. PASSBY.

I'm not sure what's more hilarious the study or the fact they stopped and asked parents to rate their childrens attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10.

I could see it now.

"Well, Little Suzie is very nice looking I'd rate her an 8 but Johnny he seem to get all the wrong genes I'd rate him a 1 but please don't tell him."

The article says the "uglier" kids were able to wander farther away and more often the the more attractive kids. Do you think that's implying the parents are so embarassed by the looks of their children that their hoping some stranger snaps the child up and they no longer have to deal with the embarassment of having an ugly child? Or is it really just an indicator that the parents just fuckin' moron and isn't aware of the society that we live in today?

We have fines for littering and speeding but no fines for parents who let their children wander aimlesssly through stores or better yet let them run free in crowded restaurants. (Personal Fave).

What puts the icing on the cake for the article is the study was done here in Canada. Some of the most bewildering studies come out of Canada. Was this a students project or did the University funded this study via a grant.

I leave you with this quote from the article from Dr Nadja Reissland, Professor of Child Development at Aberdeen University.

"People who are more attractive may have it easier but it could be more difficult for them if they are constantly in demand."

This is the story of my life. [You Can All Laugh Now.]
