'World's unsexiest man' named and the WINNER IS........


http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/19/people.unsexy.reut/index.html


BOSTON, Massachusetts (Reuters) -- Comedian Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of the Aflac duck in television commercials for the insurer, was crowned "unsexiest man in the world" by an alternative newspaper Tuesday.

"The parrot-voiced, pickle-faced comic is to sexy what Kryptonite is to Superman," The Boston Phoenix wrote.

New York Yankees pitcher Randy Johnson came in second followed by film critic Roger Ebert, television psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw and Fox television co-host Alan Colmes.

Others included pop star Michael Jackson and nasal-voiced rapper Mike Diamond (Mike D) of the Beastie Boys.

1. My husband turns the channel any and every time he comes on the
TV! Or if it is just his voice, we have to turn the channel. So, my husband will get a kick out of this!

13. I'd do the Gilbert.
He ain't the worst I ever seen. I'd have to ask him to stop talking, tho.

15. It has to be Karl Rove...
...but perhaps he doesn't qualify. Is there a "world's unsexiest sub-human slug creature" category?
