Queensland, Australia (AHN) - The mayor of a small Australian mining town received negative feedback when he said that unattractive women could find a partner in his locality because men outnumbered women, five-to-one, in the country's northwest mining center.
Mount Isa's Mayor John Molony said, "five blokes to every girl, may I suggest that beauty-disadvantaged women should proceed to Mount Isa."
He also said, "not so attractive women appeared happy with the five-to-one gender imbalance."
Women were angered by Molony's 'not-so-beautiful' comment and since then he has received complaints from both genders.
But the mayor refused to apologize, even if he drew criticism about his statement. He was quoted as saying, "I'm telling it like it is."
Someone should tell that mayor: Be careful what you ask for...
Dude is helping people find l.u.v. Good for him.
Let’s face it, the miners probably aren’t good looking either.
I bet I know what you’ll post in response to this. :-D
This story is so rich for possible nominees, let me start with:

Drat, you posted it first!
I liked the quote from one of the local women:
"The odds are good, but the goods are odd."
You forgot to mention Jocelyn Wildenstein, aka Cat Lady./Just Asking - seoul62......
You guys must have a Helen Thomas and CZJ button on your keyboards!
Interestingly, they produce some of the most beautiful women in America, Alaska's governor being just one high-profile example.
Mt Isa City Council covers 16,500 square miles - not really small
I’ll call this one unpolitic but true.
He won’t get any takers. Most of them live here.
Simple solution: move Code Pink there. Everyone is happy.
I'm sure blind men would find this once-attractive woman a good catch.
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
to do the things that will break his heart
but if you make an ugly woman your wife
you’ll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
She’ll always give you peace of mind.
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Don’t let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Her face is ugly, her eyes don’t match
take it from me she’s a better catch
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Dude 1:say man
Dude 2:hey man
Dude 1: I saw your wife the other day
Dude 2: Yeah
Dude 1: Yeah and she’s uglyyyyyyyyy
Dude 2: Yeah she’s ugly but she sure can cook baby.
Dude 1: Yeah
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
