The Top 10 Drop-Dead Ugliest Bloggers in 2010
Commanding Influence: Build A Strong Online PresenceOne of the most beautiful aspects of blogging is that you can be uglier than the south end of a north-bound donkey and you can still find success online.
Just browse through the names below and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. The proof is in this post. These guys take ugly to a whole new level and yet they’re blogging quite successfully. So yes, there is hope for you.
More importantly, what you do you notice about some of these as to why I think they are poor? Hopefully you didn’t make it on the list, but if you did why did you?
Keith Bloemendaal: Keith is so ugly that he makes onions cry. He gives Freddie Krueger nightmares. My nickname for him is Taco Bell because when people see him they run for the border! This guy can tie a steak around his neck and his dog still won’t play with him.
Robb Sutton: Robb is so ugly that he actually makes blind kids cry. If he looks in the mirror his reflection turns to stone. There’s a local ordinance in his community that requires him to go trick-or-treating via telephone. If ugliness were bricks, this guy would be the great wall of China.
David Risley: David Risley is a man with unique abilities. He can turn milk into cottage cheese just by looking at it. His friends call him moses because when he steps in water the water parts out of his way. You can use his picture as an anti-theft device on your car.
Jordan Cooper: When Jordan fell off the ugly tree, he fell face first into every branch on the way down. He actually got arrested once for mooning when he stuck his head out his car window. On more than one occasion he’s been kicked out of amateur ugly contests for being a professional.
Nicholas Cardot: My mom has had it out for me ever since the day I was born. Apparently when the doctor saw me, I was so ugly that he actually slapped my mom! In fact, they almost threw me out and kept the afterbirth. They even had to put tinted windows on my crib.
Tee Riddle: Tee’s ugly. But then again, that’s why he’s on this list. When he walks into a store they actually have to turn off the cameras to keep them from breaking. If it were illegal to be ugly, Tee would have already faced a firing squad. Suffice it to say that this guy doesn’t have to use any birth control.
Brandon Cox: Brandon can’t throw a boomerang like most people because it always refused to come back to him. He has to sneak up on the mirror. Laboratory tests have shown his picture to be more effective for killing rats than the most expensive Rat poison on the market.
Josh Hanagarne: Josh is one tall man which is perfect since they use a life-sized cardboard cutout to keep birds out of corn fields. It’s much more effective than a scarecrow. He’s so disgustingly ugly that Chuch Norris’ eyes start bleeding when he looks at Josh.
Geoff Crane: When Geoff and I visited the zoo last month, the staff actually thanked me for returning him to them. When he sits in the sand cats try to bury him. I suppose that this probably explains why his doctor is a vet and why he always gets chased by the dog catcher.
Nathan Hangen: When Nathan’s mother went into labor, the doctors went on strike. He get’s an extra 364 days a year to celebrate Halloween. He showed up for amateur night at a male strip club and people started handing him cash begging him to keep his clothes on.
Disclaimer: This is a parody post and I don’t actually believe that any of these bloggers are ugly. Each of these guys are actually my friends and I highly recommend that you check out their blogs. You won’t be dissapointed.
P.S. If you folks enjoy this post then please consider helping me share it via Twitter, StumbleUpon, Facebook and others. Thanks in advance for all the help. I’m really grateful.
No bloggers were harmed in the writing of this article.

I think the image that u loaded at the top was drop dead ugly.
About the rest, these bloggers are some I have heard and some are totally new to me, but I think blogging does not need a face, it requires a personality that is able to deliver great content and is also have an aura that attracts more reader
Nicholas Cardot said:
Gautam, every name on this list is the name of a friend of mine. These are great bloggers and they’re not really ugly or anything. This is just a fun way for me to link to some terrific blogs. I hope it brought a smile to you.
gautam hans@Blog Godown said:
I was talking about the image of the angry woman at the top (really ugly.
Some of the blogegrs are smarter than me and I don’t think they are ugly. A fun article

Nicholas Cardot said:
Good! I’m so glad that you’re enjoying it.
martin said:
And how can I forget to commend you for being so nice with your descriptions of each of these guys. I’m pretty sure they had a blast reading this. A great way of giving tribute to these people. I like it so much!
Oh, and Happy Father’s Day to all you dads!
Nicholas Cardot said:
Thanks and happy Father’s Day to you also. This is my second year as a father and I absolutely love every minute of it. I’m glad that you got a smile from this article!
EllisGL said:
Wooo! I didn’t make the list! Wait.. or did I want to make it…
Nicholas Cardot said:
Actually as I look at your avatar, you definitely look like you should have been included.
Of course, I’m just kidding. I hope that you enjoyed the post and that it brought you a good laugh today.
Gines said:
LMAO! I thought I was going to be included!
Seriously, whether they’re ugly or not, they’re the most handsome still. Their success is proof.
Have a good one.

You’re right. These guys are successful and as I mentioned at the bottom of the post, they’re all great friends and I’m thrilled to know each of them.
Tia Singh, Ms Awesome said:
What a blatantly sexist post NC .. where are the women? Oh wait, there are no ugly women in this world, that’s rightm we’re the fairer sex
So sayeth @TiaSparkles

Nicholas Cardot said:
I agree. It is blatantly sexist but at least this time it is anti-male and not anti-female.
Let me be honest, I am sexist in this fashion. Women are hot and ALL men are ugly in my opinion so putting this post together was not hard.
Of course, when I say that women are hot I mean that in the general sense and I’m not talking about the woman featured in the image at the top of the article.

Well, I don’t think you’d make that list anyway

ROFL!!
This was the funniest post I have read in a while!
Well, someone finally brought some humor blogging, instead of the same old dry posts! lol!
Great post!
Nicholas Cardot said:
I’m going to try to bring some comedy like this to the blog on a weekly basis from now on. I’m really finding that people enjoy it. And why not? Even the Bible says that ‘laughter doeth good like a medicine’. It’s good for us to laugh and smile and enjoy life. And it’s good for us to laugh at ourselves as I hope that I showed my capability of doing in this post since I included myself.
Onibalusi Bamidele said:
This is really a great post and one of the funniest i have ever read
I know a large percentage of these bloggers and they are all hardworking – which is why they are successful.
Thanks a lot for the great post,
-Onibalusi
Nicholas Cardot said:
You’re welcome, Onibalusi. These guys really are tremendous bloggers and as you said, that is exactly why they are so incredibly successful.
Priya Florence Shah said:
Cute! Brings back memories of me and my bro going at each other. Too bad these are actually pretty good-looking guys.
Nicholas Cardot said:
Oooh. It’s alright for you to say so. I’m a heterosexual male who personally thinks that all guys are ugly so for me it was easy to put this pot together.
Hopefully your comment about these being good-looking guys includes me because I really need my ego fluffed up.
Seriously though, thanks for jumping in and being a part of the conversation.
Priya Florence Shah said:
Is there a REAL photo of you I can comment on, Nick? Maybe your next post could be about women. Let me think, does Salma Hayek blog? Hmmm. This blog needs some eye-candy
Nicholas Cardot said:
Priya Florence Shah » I just switched out the photo as you and someone else mentioned the same thing. I didn’t really think about it at the time but you folks are right. I should do one about women, but I would feel so bad calling women ugly. Maybe I’ll do one about the best looking bloggers or something. I’ll have to think about it and try to figure something out.
Eren Mckay said:
I agree with your comment Pryia that these are actually pretty good-looking guys……hee hee. I thought I was going to stumble upon some nasty looking men but … not really

Eren Mckay » I’m sorry to disappoint you with how incredibly good looking I am.
Geoff Crane said:
Nick thank you so much for including me on this list! By putting me side-by-side with ugly luminaries such as Keith Bloemendaal and Tee Riddle I feel I’ve really crossed a threshold of personal achievement. Clearly bashing myself in the face with a pan all those years was worth it!!
Nicholas Cardot said:
I honestly thought that you used something stronger than a pan but if that got the job done for you then great work. You really look like you’ve been working hard to earn this achievement so congratulations on finally reaching this amazing milestone in life!
Robb Sutton said:
This is the post of the year!!! You just made my morning.
I’m not sure what you are talking about though. They all have a face for radio.

Nabeel | Create Your First Website said:
ROFL!!
Face for radio!!
I think this comment beats the post!
Nicholas Cardot said:
I agree with these other guys, Robb. That’s a great comment.

I guess you are so ugly that the camera broke which is why you used a drawing for yourself. HA!

Keith said:
I am on a roll making “ugly” lists this week! At least I am on the top of this one!

Geoff Crane said:
We’re all very proud of you, Keith. You earned your position at #1, and have shown us all that with hard work, determination, and a little genetic engineering, anything is possible!
Nabeel | Create Your First Website said:
You two look alike a lot!!
Nicholas Cardot said:
Maybe that’s why they are both on this list!
Keith said:
HEY! I am WAY uglier than Geoff!
My Latest Blog Post: Information Products vs Real Products
Nicholas Cardot said:
Keith » Don’t get me wrong. You are ugly. But Geoff is ugly too so don’t get a big head.
Geoff Crane said:
You are pretty ugly Keith, but I’ve been working on further flabbifying my moobs. I’m going for full-body ugly.
Nicholas Cardot said:
…and you’ve been succeeding.
Nicholas Cardot said:
Congrats for making it all the way up to #1 on this one. You definitely deserve it. You take ugly to a whole new level.
Tee Riddle said:
Nick, thank you for putting me on this distinguished list of bloggers. I mean it just doesn’t get uglier than Jordan Cooper, Nathan Hangen and Geoff Crane.
I am surprised that Keith Bloemendaal was appointed the top spot. I mean how can you say a guy that’s singing “You Lost That Loving Feeling” at the prom is ugly?

Nicholas Cardot said:
Ha ha. I’m glad that you’re grateful to be on this list. You should be. My lists are always the most distinguished and respectable that you can find online and people should be working hard to do everything in their power to be a part of my round-ups like this. Basically, I’m the man. LOL
Joe Boyle said:
Haha, thanks for a chuckle, Nick!
I’ll agree – all of those bloggers are making my eyes bleed. In fact, I may very well be dying and this could be my last comment I ever post on the interwebz.
Great idea, Nick
Nicholas Cardot said:
Don’t get my hopes up, Joe. Just pour some battery acid in your eyes and the pain from the acid will probably be easier to handle than the pain of lookking at these guys.
Eric said:
This is awesome. I’m not shocked at all that Jordan is on here “wink” “wink”
you really did good with this post.
Where did you come up withthis anyway?
Nicholas Cardot said:
Eric » I just thought of it. A lot of these jokes are just “You’re so Ugly” jokes that me and my friends used to tell each other when we were kids. And yeah, Jordan definitely deserves to be on here!
Kiesha @ We Blog Better said:
Where did you get all these ugly jokes?! You’ve got me scared to sit in the sand, now – I don’t want any cats mistaking me for poop!

Let me tell you, Kiesha the first time it happened to me it was alarming, but I’ve learned to go to the beach in a raincoat and I really don’t notice it anymore.
Nicholas Cardot said:
Geoff, you are such a good sport. You always know how to keep me laughing.
Nicholas Cardot said:
Kiesha @ We Blog Better » Ha ha. That’s so funny. I’m sure that you’re safe. Maybe I’ll put together a list of the best looking bloggers and I’ll have to include you on that one.

Richard Scott said:
WOW! Love the weekend humor. You had me really laughing loudly on some of these. SHOCKING!
I didn’t know poop could be so big. lol Good post. Good sports.
I do think you should include a real photo of yourself. A drawing just doesn’t cut it.
Nicholas Cardot said:
Richard Scott » Good observation. I just switched out my picture for a real one. I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
Richard Scott said:
It wasn’t just my observation… Priya Florence Shah said so above as well!
Nicholas Cardot said:
Richard Scott » Yup. I noticed that and when several people make the same observation there is definitely something to it. And it probably means that more people made the same observation but that they didn’t feel like mentioning it to me. I appreciate it and I hope that gives you something better to laugh at and if your eyes start to bleed, you have my sincerest apologies.

You have a great weekend also!
Priya Florence Shah said:
Offending people in an obvious way is not always a bad thing. Some people make a career of it
Nicholas Cardot said:
That’s certainly true and unfortunately some people make a career of doing it maliscously. And I certainly hope that mine never come across that way.
Jeffrey said:
Just Great, I’ve missed yet another list. No one ever puts me on their list. I mean how ugly can one Blogger get. Just take a look at my mug. One big ugly B. Am I missing something here?

I must be coming in at no. 11 – my own parents say they didn’t take any pics of me as a babe because I was so fat and hideous. Unfortunately when they did take one for my Christening aged about 4 months it seems to be true. Still, I like to think I was a bit of an ugly duckling:)
