> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > Any of the Kardashians. I have a personal policy to give this family absolutely zero of my attention. I’ll never click on a story about any of them. If they are talked about on the radio I will switch stations immediately. If they are a guest on any talk show I will purposely watch a different show. I am a regular viewer of SNL but heard one of them will be guest hosting this fall. I will be skipping that show in its entirety. ---

To my eye, he lives in the uncanny valley. He used to be quite portly, and lost a bunch of weight a while back. But, I agree, his head looks kind of disproportionate to his body now.

Jared Leto. Objectively, he is beautiful, but to a thoroughly unpleasant level. Pete Davidson also annoys the crap out of me, for some reason I can’t explain. So I can’t bear the sight of him. ---

But they do share a similar brutish quality. ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > I can’t look at Gary Bussey. He always look like he’s in pain. And those teeth… The ad agency where I work has an award system, where employees can name their colleagues for contributing above-and-beyond; in our quarterly online “town hall” meeting, the agency president singles out three or four such award recipients with pre-recorded celebrity shout-outs, via the Cameo service (where you can hire a celebrity to record a video greeting or message). Last year, they got Gary Busey to do one. He looked haggard, of course, and sounded like he was in the midst of a three-day bender (which he might well have been). ---

Whoopi Goldberg. I’ve never been able to stand her schtick and I find her appearance extremely unattractive. ---
