There are always jokes about the Ugley Women gettig together with the men of Nasty, whcih is a few miles further off. I can't see there was anything too offensive about what that Aussie mayor said there - All he seesm to have said is that, since there were such a lot of extra (and probably not oparticulary good-looking) men in the town, it was likely that there wasn't be as much prejudice against ordinary looking women as there might be in some places. |
