Heidi Klum and Seal are out and about in LA this week, slowly prancing directly into the lead of the "Best Hollywood Couple" race. They're attractive, unassuming and quiet, so what's not to like?

The only thing I can think of is that some people think their baby's gross. Calling a baby ugly is stupid on multiple levels but, the good news is that even if you think li'l' Johan isn't hot now, he's gonna be the best thing going in a few years.

Here's why: by being the product of a fairly ugly, British, black man and an intimidatingly beautiful, German woman, he has now been blessed with what is called "hybrid vigor." Basically, because his parents are completely opposite in the way of genes, Johan's going to get the best of both worlds and none of the crap. If you breed a pug with another pug, that dog won't be able to breathe when they're older. But, if you breed a pug with a lab, the mutt doggy will be sucking in air well into its teens. Get it? Regression to the mean. Johan's gonna be great! None of his dad's horrible skin disease and none of his mom's too big boobs.

    Eh? Seal's not ugly, with or without the scars. Everytime I see him he's smiling…it's very attractive.

    Those are tribal scars on his face, given to him when he was younger. He does not have bad skin as in acne scars.

    I think you were trying to be cute or funny, but referring to children of biracial unions as 'mutts' or comparing the coupling of their parents to that of dogs is unacceptable.

    Not trying to be all "PC" on ya (I know how much you post-ironic types hate that), but I thought I should point it out.

    Perhaps if Heidi & Seal were spotted doing rails in the bathroom of Hyde, maybe they would garner more respect from you.

    I think cord was joking more about their different nationalities and obviously different physical features than the different colors of their skin. Haven't you ever seen unattractive kids come from 2 "perfectly" beautiful people, and then the opposite happen to 2 people of average or sub-average looks, regardless of color? I know I have!

    Right, Cord. Analogy is never a politically dubious rhetorical maneuver. I thought you went to Columbia. Didn't you ever take a class on rhetoric while fulfilling that core curriculum? I'm surprised that you don't have a more sophisticated understanding of the politics of language. Wait, no I'm not.

    Havent you ever talked with a preggo woman and her and her husband talk about what the kid will look like? Her eyes, his hair, his height, her wierd ears..

    these two couldn't be more different so it is interesting to see how the kid will look. I'm interested. I bet the tyke will grow up to be quite interesting if not good looking as well.

    what DID happen with Seal's skin? I've always wondered that. I think Seal seems like a really decent guy.

    Dear picklejews:

    If we don't recognize ugly, we can't recognize beauty, no? Seal may be considered ugly (merely a point of taste) for whatever reason–whether a birth defect or a self-inflicted wound.

    As Cord said, bashing babies is stupid on many levels, not least being that babies don't look as babies the way that they will look for most of their lives. Seal's looks are pretty much, well, sealed. Furthermore, dear Hebrewsinavinegarbarrel, I think "bashing" is too forceful a word to describe Cord's reactions to the baby comments OR his description of the baby's father.

    By the by, I'm glad that you recognize Cord's place in the solar system, and grant his more status than the astronomers, foolish lot they are, granted poor, deceased Pluto. What planet is he, indeed! Good question.

    Your most obedient and faithful humble servant.

    A simple internet search will answer your questions, folks. Check here: http://www.askmen.com/toys/int.....rview.html
    His facial marks are not 'tribal-related' but in fact from the scarring of discoid lupus.

    In general, I find the people who comment on this site lately are very opinionated yet not willing to accept the opinions of other (Cord’s, in particular). Additionally many commentators seem to be quick to criticize (i.e. “hope”) but yet offer no backing for their side of the discussion (i.e. “picklejews”), instead they just bitch.

    Since Molly left, the commenting section has gotten lame, not the blog content. Just some food for thought for you all…

    Well i guess im the only perosn who find offense with Cord referring to Seal as fairly ugly and that he hopes the kid doesn't get that 'horrible skin disease'. Even after someone pointed it out it being from Lupus he still went for it.

    The reason i m pretty damn sick of his attiude is becasue he is suck a bloody hipocryte! One second hes talking all preachy on what's right and wrong about how its sad and rude to speak that way then in the next post he's doing it himself.

    You want to be a snarky bastard go for it, but save the preaching for church and maybe all of us wouln't be on your ass all the time. Point is that is Seal didn't have those scars you wouldn't call him ugly, so by calling him ugly for having a facial disfiguration is pompous and fuckin ignorant. I read Dlisted every damn day and you all know that fucker is offensive as hell but for some reason, maybe age or wisdon who knows…MK knows when to shut the fuck up and when to have his say.

    The great thing about blogs is that if you don't support it, just don't go to it. I don't go to PerezJilted anymore because I don't support the things he does/says/is/etc.

    No. 33 ronnie says:

    I think it's unfair to say that Cord called Seal ugly simply because of his scarred face. Years ago I thought Seal's scars were the most appealing aspect of his face. Now I don't. Eh. Taste is not the issue. Cord–as do you, you lovely jew you–has the prerogative to find beauty and ugliness wherever he wants.

    I really fail to understand the hate directed at Cord. The energy to direct hate is enough, but to direct said hate toward a competent, skillful moderator of a celebrity gossip website? Seems downright misguided.

    Pickle, you seem to be taking gentle criticism or helpful suggestions as lethal thrusts, and you respond with more force than is necessary. Also, I disagree with your conclusion that, as your assessment of Cord's posts changes, Cord's gender changes. He was a man when Molly left, and by all empirical accounts, remains so.

    Wow! Now Cord's a planet AND a vampire!

    Ms. Thang (aka "picklejews"),

    Reread the post to understand that I was not comparing you to Ann Coulter. I happen to believe she is an incredibly hateful, horrible person who deserves no attention (or oxygen!). I meant that you should use your strong will to fight against something that really matters in this world (like shutting-up people like A.Coulter and Bill Oreilly).

    I never said "don't share you opinion" - that's counterintuitive! I merely wanted to point out out silly it is for you to be so upset over a BLOG. Just don't visit if you're that upset with what Cord writes! That is all. Have a nice dinner.
