Are you familiar with the World Association of Ugly People?

World Association of Ugly People
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





The World Association of Ugly People (in Italian Club dei Brutti) is an organization dedicated to fighting for the recognition of ugly people, in a society that places a high value on physical beauty. The group's motto is "A person is what he is and not what he looks like."

History

The club claims to have a history in Piobbico, Italy from 1879. It was relaunched in 1963 as a marriage agency for the town's single women.

The World Association of Ugly People club campaigns against discrimination in the workplace based on looks. It attempts to make society more aware of ugly people's problems. It also helps people overcome their phobias and, in some cases, to find partners.

In 2007, the group unveiled a monument dedicated to ugly people in Piobbico's town square. The monument depicts an unknown person looking at his reflection in a mirror.

Traditions

The club's emblem is the head of a wild boar. The club's crest features a reclining man smoking a pipe with the slogan: "Ugliness is a virtue, beauty is slavery."

The club's patron is Vulcan from Roman mythology. At birth Vulcan was so ugly that his mother threw him over a cliff. He survived and became a skilled blacksmith. For providing Achilles with superior weapons, he was admitted to Mount Olympus where he married the beautiful Venus, goddess of love.

He he, you may not be successful in convincing them to come along. They're full of confidence, remember?  :-X

sometimes, full confidence rooted on shaky grounds flings some to certain exotic clubs without their wanting to, just like greatness that one should not deign to fear because "...some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them." (William Shakespeare)
