Mena Suvari Was Gross

I'm not the only one that thought Mena Suvari was ugly from the very beginning, right?  Not even Hollywood ugly, but just plain old, regular life ugly.  I'm up late with a case of Sunday night insomnia watching American Pie 2 and I still can't figure out what producers and directors saw in her, and this is like 10 years later.  I was 15 when American Pie came out.  At that age boys will find just about any girl under 200 pounds attractive, so to say  I found her ugly from the get go is really saying something, yet here she was landing roles in coming of age type movies.

I'm just glad everyone smartened up fairly quickly.  I took a quick peek at her IMDB page, which much to my relief, confirmed that here career has severely stagnated since 2001 (seriously, in 2005 it got so low that she took a role as a character just titled as "whore").  Ironically enough it was probably her most critically acclaimed movie that did her in.  The scene in American Beauty where Ricky (the creepy kid next door) called her out on being ugly sealed her fate.  The blinders were lifted and everyone took a good close look, the verdict was in...ugly as charged.
