Most people are simply unremarkable. The few who are stunningly beautiful, two standard deviations from the norm, enjoy attention, acclaim, and recognition - through no effort of their own, they enjoy the privileges of rarity.

But they're not alone ...

There are countless thousands born under much the same star, two standard deviations from the norm in the opposite direction. This site is an attempt to rectify that injustice, to give the ugly their fair share ... or more aptly, their just desserts.

For whatever reason, these specimens saw fit to post their portraits to the Web. That makes them fair game ...

The images in this site were gathered from the far corners of the World Wide Web, in places where dreary, commonplace (commonface) people desperately scrabble for attention by posting their mugs for an international audience to gawk. The images that follow were all posted by people whose message to the World (Wide Web) is "Hey, look at me!"

So look at them — they asked for it!

Check out the latest (dis)honorees:

• I'm better then you aren't
• Know what I did to your daughter?
• One of the Usual Suspects
• Look for the union tanline
• Oedipal Shudder
• USPS Employee of the Month
• In a moment, she'll start to sing
• The Land of Cotton
• Holiday in Cambodia
• Queen of the Zooks

And yes, there are way more than a handful of ugly people out there — but the list was getting a bit long for the home page. You can still gawk at your old favorites in the gallery.

OK, so we'll have to admit that the "s" is just ambition at this point — but have fun with the one we've got.
