Are you ugly? You probably lose your kids often...

A study out of the Univeristy of Alberta is suggesting that based on it's study ugly parents are more likely to lose track of thier kids (i.e. shopping mall). If the kids are ugly and the parents are ugly too it's extremely likely for those kids to get lost says the study. It's bad enough you have studies showing that beautiful people are more likely to recieve better jobs, more assistance and catch bigger brakes. This study seems to crucify ugly people as bad parent, talk about adding insult to injury. Don't forget it was not that long ago that the state of Chicago had "Ugly Laws" :

No person who is diseased, maimed, mutilated, or in any way deformed so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object or improper person to be allowed in or on the public ways or other public places in this city, shall therein or thereon expose himself to public view, under a penalty of not less than one dollar nor more than fifty dollars for each offense. ---1911 City of Chicago Ordinance
