Press release as send to me by old friend The Heart of The Tiger

BOSTON (Reuters) – Comedian Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of the Aflac Inc.
duck in television commercials for the insurer, was crowned “unsexiest man
in the world” by an alternative newspaper on 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 of the Beastie Boys.

Gottfried has had numerous television and film roles including a year as a
cast member on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”
