"Blobfish wins ugliest animal vote"...and you can see why...

"The grumpy-looking, gelatinous blobfish has won a public vote to become the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.

This gives the fish the unofficial title of world's ugliest animal.

The society began as a science-themed comedy night and devised its mascot campaign to draw attention to "aesthetically challenged" threatened species.

The blobfish tops a list that includes the huge-nosed proboscis monkey, the similarly afflicted pig-nosed turtle, an amphibian affectionately known as a "scrotum frog" and pubic lice. "

Kind of loveable in a really amorphous way!

1. His mom says he's handsome, so there!

[Surya Gayatri]

2. I'd adopt him--looks easy to live with!

[Scootaloo]

3. Be sure to water him frequently!

He looks like the kind of thing that deserves a name like "Merle"

[Surya Gayatri]

4. I wonder if "Merle" requires a special diet. What does he eat...?

I'll have to consult Wiki, I guess.

[Scootaloo]

5. Food, I'd imagine

Might be he eats dreams, though.

6. He looks like Ziggy

15. That's who I thought of, too

It was closely followed by some old men I've seen dozing in public.

I don't think it's all that ugly, you want ugly, look up monkfish. Those things are so butt ugly they chop the heads off in the boat because nobody would buy them otherwise.

8. Was this being passed off as "children's TV"?

Well, really cheap to produce, I suppose!
