Don’t act like you’re not impressed with Ron Burgundy, the satirical rendering of U.S. news personalities by comedian Will Ferrell.
While appearing in-character in a recent interview to promote Anchorman 2, Burgundy rendered a verdict on which nation has the most beautiful babies in the world and recommended a solution for the plague of American infant ugliness.
These are not new sentiments for Burgundy, who repeated them in his recent book:
“We could set up a tribunal of judges and decide which babies need to be shipped off to England, where there have never been good-looking babies,” he wrote. “We could have this whole country looking beautiful and fresh in no time. I would say Thai babies can get a pass. I’ve never seen an ugly Thai baby. Never. We should as a nation be encouraged to breed with people from Thailand. It could solve everything.”
