Gilbert Gottfried named World's Unsexiest Man
Sun, Apr 23rd, 2006 | 10:41pm | Obvious
According to the Boston Phoenix, Gilbert Gottfried is the Unsexiest Man in the World.
Comedian Gilbert Gottfried tops the list compiled by the Boston Phoenix's Web site. The list is a mix of entertainers, sports stars, even terrorists. Osama bin Laden is number eight on the list.
Of Gottfried, the Phoenix says "The parrot-voiced, pickled-face comic is to sexy what Kryptonite is to Superman."
The list fills out the top five with media personalities Roger Ebert, Dr. Phil, and Alan Colmes. Others on the unsexy list include Michael Jackson, Jerry Seinfeld, Ron Howard, and Clay Aiken. Of Aiken, the runner-up to Ruben Studdard on "American Idol 2," the site snarks "he still looks like someone's bratty little brother."
Other musicians show up on the list as well. Nickelback's Chad Kroeger gets dissed for "massive head, weird face, and bad hair," as well as for simply being in Nickelback, which the magazine calls "the worst band since the dawn of music." And My Chemical Romance member Gerard Way is labeled the "luckiest dude since Ringo."
Britney Spears' husband Kevin Federline ranks 99th, with the comment "Mooching hicks aren't so hot these days."
Phoenix readers are having their own say by commenting on the online article. Not all of them are thrilled with the choices or the methodology. Says one "There is 1 major problem with this list, 2 GUYS WROTE IT! Why are 2 guys writing the '100 most unsexy men list'?" Says another "First of all, Kevin Federline should be #1."
And Gilbert's reaction?
"I’m just glad to be number one on any list," says the comedian. "I’m just so proud I beat out Osama bin Laden. He’s a terrorist who hasn’t bathed in a few years and I’ve still beaten him. I say: In your face, al Qaeda! If he would have won unsexiest, the terrorists would have won."
But there’s one man Gottfried isn’t so happy to see appear beneath him. "I understand being less sexy than Osama bin Laden, but not less sexy than Carrot Top," he says. "That I find offensive."
Gottfried says he goes to the same gym as Meat Loaf (No. 77) but that he’s already feeling the pressure of maintaining his "unsexiest" crown. "I have to keep being number one each year. So I’ve started seeing the same plastic surgeon that Mickey Rourke goes to."
