Definitely sounds beauty and the beast.
And I agree. That's odd, but not ugly. THIS is ugly:

No, this is a normal dude with a somewhat injured face. For real ugly, see Treacher-Collins, Keppen-Lubinsky, basically anything that distorts facial features.

Yeah, seriously. I mean, he's not exactly the handsomest dude in the school, but the tattoos and piercings are apparently popular and the thing with scars is, no matter how disfiguring they are, they make up for it to an extent with the story behind them, getting a combination of pity and badassery points. His aren't even disfiguring, but a scar across the mouth is definitely good for some pity, and the circular scar on the head seems like the sort of thing with a story behind it. The sort you tell to get everyone to shut up about how their fractured legs are totally sore.

Apparently it's a movie of a 2007 book, which is an even more blatant retelling of Beauty and the Beast, as it turns the kid into an actual beastly monster.

Wow, TvTropes links to an image from the front. He does have more scarring, but it's Zuko level, where it makes him look totally hardcore and gives an appearance of having a story that is either pity-inducing or along the lines of "So I blocked his sword with my face while Keith snuck up behind him", instead of being seriously disfiguring.

Yeah. Scars aren't that bad a feature any more.

Well, no. He's a giant hairy beast. Most people wouldn't bother seeing past that. Hell, wasn't that what the Hunter thought? That he used to whip everyone up for the big attack at the castle.

Yeah, the disney beast wasn't supposed to be "ugly," he was supposed to be scary amnd possibly disgusting. People didn't see the clothes, or, apparently, ever wonder what the hell happened to the nearby royal family, they just saw a large furry beast with claws and fangs and a terrible temper.

most likely. It's never mentioned in the movie, but it's the reasonable conclusion. Though I wouldn't be too surprised if they actually knew/believed the truth.

No but that is Disney, which also gave you animated candlesticks in the same movie.
On the other hand, The Beast from Marvel comics is a pretty nice looking fellow if it wasn't for his odd color.

X-Men Beast got that name in high school. He used to be without the fur, although he had a solid build and big hands and feet. But he was insane on the high school football team, and everyone called him "the Beast".
Then he grew blue-black fur or some such.
Yeah.

> Mazda is recalling certain Mazda6 sedans from the 2009 and 2010 model years to clean the cobwebs out of their fuel systems.
> The car maker says the recall, which affects about 65,916 cars built from April 8, 2008 through Feb. 8, 2010, was brought on by a certain kind of spider called the Yellow Sac. The spider may weave a web in the vent line for the car’s evaporative canister. The web can cause a restriction in the line, which can result in excessive negative pressure (vacuum) in the fuel tank.
> The pressure buildup can occur during normal operation when the emission-control system purges vapors from the canister. These purges happen repeatedly as the car is driven and the resulting stress on the tank can cause it to crack.
> In a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company said its technicians noted two instances of cracked fuel tanks in 2009 and in the second case they found the web clogging the vent line.
> Mazda spokesman Jeremy Barnes said it is unclear why the spiders were attracted to the Mazda cars. “Perhaps they enjoy cars that are fun to drive.”
> On the serious side, he said fuel leaks are potentially dangerous so the company plans to begin the recall on or before March 25. Dealers will inspect and clean the canister vent line, and install a spring to prevent the spider from getting into the line. This service is free of charge. Owners with questions can contact Mazda customer assistance at 1-800-222-5500.

Meh. Escherichia coli is on a lot more things than just feces. It's incredibly common, and most strains are completely harmless. Helpful even, since they produce the vitamin K that you need to make your blood work.

Thank you, Frank. I was going to ask about that. There are so many sensational "news" pieces that shout fecal bacteria (make up, toilets, keyboards, phones, kitchens, floors, preschools, ad nauseum...) that you'd think the human race would be dead by now.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

My favorite part is fecal bacteria on hamburgers.
So, you eat hamburgers right? And sometimes, bacteria survives your stomach. I mean, if it survived Charbroil, it might be able to survive your stomach. So what happens to bacteria that is 100% harmless that is on a hamburger before you eat it? Oh yeah, it comes out your ass, and is then called "fecal bacteria."
Really 70% of hamburgers have fecal bacteria? I'm not worried yet, give me more information.

see, the real problem is tha they've changed the rules for what can be considered safe meat. It used to be the scraps that fell on the slaughterhouse floor were trash. But these days, they can be melanged with ammonia and 'neutralized' and then ground into hamburger mix.
And that's just ick.

This explains something that I saw recently that seemed odd, as in "why did they decide to do this?" A health food spinoff of a large grocery chain in my area started to put whipes in the entrance of the store specifically to whipe the shopping carts and baskets.
I like to go shopping there. They have a bar that serves a number of things including smoothies and "wheat grass" shots. I wish it were closer to where I live, because I actually like the stuff. (Even though I feel like a cow for about an hour afterwards. Moooooooo.)
