Gilbert Gottfried World’s Unsexiest Man

Gilbert Gottfried has won a dubious honor, presented by a newspaper you’ve never heard of.

Comedian Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of the Aflac duck in television commercials for the insurer, was crowned “unsexiest man in the world” by an alternative newspaper Tuesday. “The parrot-voiced, pickle-faced comic is to sexy what Kryptonite is to Superman,” The Boston Phoenix wrote.

New York Yankees pitcher Randy Johnson came in second followed by film critic Roger Ebert, television psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw and Fox television co-host Alan Colmes. Even actor Brad Pitt made the list, as the newspaper’s 100th-least sexy man. Osama bin Laden clocked in at number eight.

George Steinbrenner, owner of the Yankees — arch-rivals to the Boston Red Sox — also made the list. “Come on, we live in Boston, you knew it was coming,” the Phoenix said.

Others included pop star Michael Jackson and nasal-voiced rapper Mike Diamond (Mike D) of the Beastie Boys.

I’ve never given much thought to Gottfried’s sexiness, although am not surprised that it is considered minimal. He is certainly among the world’s most annoying people, though.
