Man wins $10K for having world’s ugliest face

This is one time when making an ugly face comes in handy...... financially speaking.

And here, after all these years of my Mom telling me NOT to make faces, because it might get stuck that way, I guess it was just to deter me from doing it. And now look, I've missed out on some serious cash!!!

Tang Shuquan of Chengdu City, China, spent years working on contorting his face into the ugliest shapes possible. On Wednesday was rewarded for his years of hard work with a $10,000 prize and Guinness medal for the world’s most twisted face.

So confident in his expertise, the 43-year-old is turning around and challenging the public to out-ugly him in a faceoff. Anyone that can will get $15,000, reported the Associated Press.

Shuquan, who looks perfectly normal when he's not twisting his face up, can protrude his jaw so far up it covers the lips and bites his nose. The odd grimace is called 'gurning.’ It's not pretty.

Shuquan started putting on pubilc performances of his ability 10 years ago, and is known as the King of Deformed Faces by the Chinese media, according to the AP. Shuquan competed in the World Guinness Records show in Italy in March, and was finally awarded the Guinness medal.

Just thought I'd post this for laughs, a break away from the norm....
Man, that just hurts me looking at him!!!! HA....
And yet he looks so normal when he's not doing faces.

I'm disappointed. The award should be most contortable face. Somewhere in the world, a truly ugly man goes to bed alone and $10,000 poorer than he should.

At first I read the title as "Man fined $10K for having world’s ugliest face."
I guess I'm just used to different kinds of news stories.

Good for him though, hope he spends it wisely.

I was expecting this but instead got a great face contortion.

S&F, Fun read to take my mind off of the terrible things happening in the world.

Yeah, I'm used to more serious topics too.

That's why I thought this would be a good break for a few minutes.... LOL.

When I first saw it I thought WTH?!

Awe man, now that's pitiful.

When I first read this I though it the title meant a 10k race, in which I asked myself "how does an ugly face help you win a race?"

Then I read the thread and realized there not much else I can say beside "What an interesting factoid!".
