We need to band together and boycott the mr. beauty contest. it is degrading to men.
if you want to show support, vote for me in the contest, or sport a sig like mine!

I second the demand for a Mister Ugly contest! (Because Iâm eyeing the other candidates nervously and expecting a poor showing. Might as well work both sides of the street.)

Actully I know for a fact there is a contest for the sexiest geek. (Not only does he get picked by looks but he must be able to do computer stuff etc⌠the stuff he does on the computer is the ones that count more if I recall correctly)

A Mister Ugly contest? Hmmm, sounds like something I could finally win! Or if you won, would you actually lose? Or vise-versaâŚwow, now Iâm really confused.
Iâm not starting it, though. People could have their feelings hurt, and thatâs not cool.
