Patty and Selma are humiliated when Channel 6 News announces that Springfield has been named the ugliest city in America, and Kent Brockman shows pictures of them to explain how the city earned the designation. Marge tries to console her sisters and they challenge her to walk a mile in their shoes. Marge takes them up on the challenge and is shocked by the difference in how she's treated. Marge then starts a protest movement to stop discrimination against ugly people.
