Some months back, a dating website got into a little public relations scrap for booting off overweight and unattractive members.  Given that they’re a dating website for the beautiful, they kind of had to (and invited their porky former members to return after they’ve hit the gym).  However, most people aren’t attractive.  If you’re ugly and looking for love in the UK, then The Ugly Bug Ball dating website might be for you.  It’s a dating website for ugly people, and The Ugly Bug Ball is celebrating its first engagement!

Tom Clifford and Janine Walker were both lonely, ugly people, living near one another in Stow-on-the-Wold, Glouchestershire, England.  Now, after only four dates, the gruesome twosome have found true love with one another.  Said Tom, a 36-year-old carpet fitter, “I’ve been a joke to women for years because of the way I look.  I always thought that I was too ugly to meet Mrs. Right but my life changed when I met Janine.  She’s beautiful and I love her in every possible way.  I still can’t believe this is happening.”

The two are planning a winter wedding.  To honor their engagement, The Ugly Bug Ball is giving the two a free honeymoon to Borth, Wales.  Said Janine, a 31-year-old shop assistant, “I appreciate that Tom isn’t Brad Pitt, but then I’m no Angelina Jolie either.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and to me Tom’s the perfect, handsome prince.”

Congratulations, you two!

In a scene straight out of the Old West, the Glenn M.

Once you start smoking, it’s very difficult to quit.  A few cigarettes a day can quickly become a dangerous habit, so it’s best to never start.  However, once you do start, quitting aids like nicotine gum and those new electronic cigarettes can help.  Electronic cigarettes are those little cigarette-shaped things with the light in one [...]
