U-G-L-Y.

The Weekly World News apparently took a break from delivering breaking stories on Sasquatches and alien fetuses this week to name the top 10 ugliest people. That doesn't sound so terrible because your first thought regarding such a list is that it must include Hilary Swank, Robert Davi, Skeet Ulrich etc., and celebrities are used to being ridiculed all the time. Well, the Weekly World News took it a step further (or back) and comprised their list of ACTUAL CIVILIANS. Top on this list was Jason Schechterle, a police officer who was badly burned when his patrol car was rear-ended by a taxi in 2001. Obviously, we're a fan of equal-opportunity ridicule, but lines sometime have to be drawn. Inevitably, WWN issued an apology this week and donated $5,000 to a charity of Schechterle's choice making it clear that not only are they assholes, but they're also cheap assholes.

And yes, there are pictures of Schechterle available online. No, I won't link them. Sickos.
