You know, if the problem is self-esteem, saying "You know, it's actually kind of a GOOD thing you're ugly!" isn't going to help, since that's flat-out saying "You're ugly."
People don't like to feel ugly, and saying "But wait, being ugly is a GOOD thing!" isn't really a helpful response, and doesn't do anything for self-esteem.

God made us all different and unique and we are all beautiful in His eyes.
Why should we be concerning ourselves with the Earth's temporal, corrupt view of beauty than God's eternal, perfect view?

Of course, I totally admit that I also crush on Alton Brown and John Stewart. I would date them any day of the week.

This would be a totally (in)appropriate place for someone to link to Sir-Mix-a-Lot.
I don't agree with this one. I don't think there is anything at all that every single individual can agree is beautiful. If for no other reason than cultural divides. You could maybe get everyone of a specific culture to find something beautiful (even though I don't think you could even do that, but let's just say for the sake of argument you could), but once you start bringing in people from different countries, from different races, who grew up in different places with different backgrounds, it's foolish and absurd to even hold on to the notion that something can be objectively beautiful to every single individual.
