| George Lucas ("Star Wars" fame) before hair and after hair You know, some people can go the bald route and some….cannot |
One of the things that has always fascinated me is how the vast accumulation of wealth rarely equals beauty. Ever notice how downright UGLY the wealthiest men are? Man oh man, talk about fugly. Yes, I said "fugly" (which you can figure out).
I always thought "Mr. Softee", aka Bill Gates of the Microsoft scam empire was the ugliest billionaire on the planted. But now I see he has SERIOUS competition. Have you folks checked out this casino gambling billionaire Sheldon Adelson? You know, the gnome who is in the process of buying the American democracy with his billions of ill gotten dollars.

What prompted me to write this very disrespectful post on Easter Sunday (I don't do Easter) is the photo of George Lucas I saw on my Facebook page this morning. George before hair and George after hair. As I said on the caption of that picture, some people can do bald and some…..well, it doesn't work. George, it's not working because now you look like a major player in the bar scene of your Star Wars movie. George, you are downright CREEPY. And I used to think you were so handsome. And what happened to your NECK?

Then there is my previous Major Ugly billionaire, the soulless Bill Gates. He of the perpetual bangs. Give it up Mr. Softee, you're TOO OLD for the bangs.

But you know folks, now that I think about it I know a lot of people of "average looks" who I find pretty attractive. You know what I'm thinking now? I think these billionaires whose pictures I posted on this blog are evil. That is where there ugliness comes from. There is no heart or soul in their visages, just a terrible ugliness. You know what they say, all great fortunes are founded on a crime. From the first billionaire in this country, John Jacob Astor, whose fortunes was created from the misery and death of so many trapped creatures whose fur he sold to the rich in Europe during the 18th century.

Ron was cute as a child actor but lost most of his hair as an adult and is no longer cute. As a matter of fact, at first glance one would say he is rather unattractive but upon closer look you can see the gentleness in his eyes and the genuine smile which make him attractive.  One of my secret pleasures (schadenfreude) is to see how most of our rock idols have not aged well. Remember when Paul McCartney was the "cute one"? By the way, I never did think he was the "cute one." I thought the cute one was George Harrison but he didn't age well either (all those drugs no doubt).  Even with the obviously touched up photo on the right, Sir Paul still looks like an old lady. Then whatever happen to Steven Tyler of Aerosmith? I was never one of his fans but I hear he had a few. Check him out now, he looks like a drag show contestant who came in last.  Steven, it's over. Collect your millions a go home. Hide. Stay out of sight. Please. And then there is Robert Redford. The original Pretty Boy. Again, I never go the attraction but I heard (through the grapevine) that quite a few others easily led fans did. Bob, what happened? Looks like Bob obviously pissed off some voodoo witch who put an ugly hex on him.  What was the name of that show? Uh…..yes that's it! The Crypt Keeper.  Hey folks, I may be poor (which I definitely am) but if I had the chance to make a devil's trade for my looks for a large bank account but also had to go major, creepy ugly…..no thanks. I'll stay poor. And that my friends is my posting on this Easter Sunday. Not quite the Easter Bunny was it?  |
