Amy Winehouse's face explained by science

As part of her pact with Satan, Amy Winehouse got beat some more by the ugly stick this weekend. Her spokesperson confirmed to the media she's been diagnosed with impetigo which is not only contagious but makes you look like, well, Amy Winehouse. Here's the Mayo Clinic's definition for all you amateur doctors out there:

Impetigo starts as a red sore that quickly ruptures, oozes for a few days and then forms a yellowish-brown crust that looks like honey or brown sugar. The disease is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people.

Okay, so now Amy Winehouse is even more awesome to be around. Not only do you get to see, and presumably smell her, but your skin starts oozing brown sugar. Sweet! Somebody invite this chick to my house on the ASAP. I'm making a whole bunch of oatmeal and finally can use my own face as a condiment. Dreams do come true! *tear*

Amy Winehouse, How come you taste so good?

i wonder what disease causes her eyeliner to look the same everytime................................................ or is it magic?

Fucking jizz-soaked keyboard!

Like face herpes or something?

Good thing the pictures aren't working today.

so, Mike rubbed his penis on her face. The world makes sense again.

Transmission

The infection is spread by direct contact with lesions or with nasal carriers. The incubation period is 1–3 days. Dried streptococci in the air are not infectious to intact skin.


Signs and symptoms

One or more pimple-like lesions surrounded by reddened skin. Lesions fill with pus, then break down over 4–6 days and form a thick, honey-colored crust. Impetigo is often associated with insect bites, cuts, and other forms of trauma to the skin. Itching is common.

People who suffer from cold sores have shown higher chances of suffering from impetigo. Those who normally suffer from cold sores should consult a doctor if normal treatment has no effect.

The only reason God doesn't erase you from the face of the Earth is because you amuse him somehow.

"starts as a red sore that quickly ruptures, oozes for a few days and then forms a yellowish-brown crust that looks like honey or brown sugar."

Just like my beloved husband.

Ted, seriously. Stop obsessing about my penis. It aint that kinda party.

Perfect story for the lunch hour, fucking sick.

So, thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats what I have in me butthole. Wash, mike, wash. baaaaa baaaaah.

EW!

Frist's labia look like Amy's face, but she said it was parasites, not impetigo.

So, nevermind uncrustable. I wasn't hungry anyway.. dammit. fucking, dammit!

You got it wrong fish-head...

Those are the rancid FISH-Scales you spread to her.

somehow i cant write nasty stuff about her. i wish icould help her.

Amy's so talented; her talent makes-up for her imperfections. Her talent makes her lovely.

Yet she can not catch a fucking break.

poor Amy now i feel sorry for her ....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeh right.

Her face is like Gizmo when you give him water..........

ATTENTION: IF YOU ARE EATING DO NOT READ

Little nose-picking/booger-eating children are the usual vectors for this disgusting disease. I'm not surprised Miss Winehouse has it, the dignified lass that she is.

So when you hang around with ppl who live at the landfill, your chances of contracting extremely gross contagious diseases increase........ dually noted.

i'm sure the 10lbs of make up does wonders for it.

and i'm sure no one would have noticed in the first place had no one pointed it out. who the fuck looks at this horse face anyway?

Oh yeah, I've heard her "talent." It went "ooooeeeouuww ugh ummm wioeeeeemmmuuuuurr uh aaaiiooooooooooh."

I love the quote on People's article: "She's not hiding away. She's never been one to care what people think."

Bullshit. This is the girl who swears her ridiculous looks are a result of her probably-pathological obsession with and insecurities about her appearance.

someone please call the CDC. the picture where she's picking her teeth is simply stunning. warning - do not enlarge the photo. by doing so, you will probably catch it.

#28 - don't worry, you'll always have your Debbie Gibson albums.

Impetigo is a common skin infection amongst intravenous drug users.

No way!

so basically she's got cooties.

Amy Winehouse contagious.

That pretty much says it all.......


.

@10, Ted, what explains your face? Oh yeah an elephant crapped on it.

Cooties... cooter... both words just crack me up.

Mike, you are an admitted goat fucker. I think you lose no matter what man..

Mike, are velcro gloves all scratchy and shit?

Classic case of young jewess entering the "Hasidic pupa phase". Upon completion of chrysalis, she will emerge wearing too much makeup and jewelry, married to a doctor, and a house in Scarsdale.

Finger in mouth on picture 5... she'll never learn. Unclean.

35--Marital strife and marital strike....both words crack me up.

When a person does too much crack; they start picking their face and it gets infected. I like Amy but this is grossing me out and it is ruing my Hershey Dark chocolate experience at work right now.

I had impetigo... it was because i picked my nose to much

There is no such thing as too much crack.

@41-44 Does smoking too much crack affect the ability to hit the post comment button only once?

Hey, I comment on here sometimes and I try to be relevant.............first, the FISH IS HILARIOUS. He's one funny person. I give a nod to his hilarious comments.
Secondly, AMY WINEHOUSE'S EYELINER IS TATTOOED ON HER, ala Michael Jackson, just WAY more.
That's why it always looks the same! With the drugs she does, like, how could she get it right every time? Hence, the tattoos over her eyes! GAHHHHHHHH!
Yuck, I've been known to pick at the rare "eruption( don't go there) on my perfect face, but having THIS would freak me out. I'd say inside!

It looks as though she has spotted prey in pic #4

#40 - Touche

# 50

Umm, don't you mean "Touce"?

HAHAHA Commish!!

Evidently, being a cynic affects one's ability to spell correctly.

What is happening to that face? It's falling apart... just like her life.

http://CelebritySurgery.net

tweakers often get impetigo

comment at #51 was funny, but following it with this - "Evidently, being a cynic affects one's ability to spell correctly." - was douchey.

*scribbling furiously*

#56

Right.

I guess being "ironic" makes you an asshole, right?

Skin sores are a commen side effect for drug addicts. No medical explination necessary, but thanks.

HAHAH ur sooo hilarious.

Love it, Commish. Keep on keepin' on.

oh my god. that is so awesomely disgusting.

is Amy feeling lonely?I have seen her photo on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named " Searching Millionaire dot com".. Many men winked at her there.

God shes a skank!
Worst thing she can do is plaster it in make-up, its never going to heal and will become infected..

She is the nastiest skank on the planet. She makes Britney look virginal.

#62 - you suck. Seriously, do you believe your stupid posts drive traffic to those retarded sites?

ew. it looks like cakey make-up.

Can you imagine having cameras in your face when you're looking like that? Rough. And she's so thin! Definitely still on the gear.

Just when you thought she was already scraping the bottom of the skank-wagon.

Impetigo, a contagious skin infection that usually produces blisters or sores on the face and hands, is one of the most common skin infections among kids.

It is generally caused by one of two bacteria: group A streptococcus or staphylococcus aureus. Impetigo usually affects preschool and school-age children, especially in the summer months. A child may be more likely to develop impetigo if the skin has already been irritated or injured by other skin problems, such as eczema, poison ivy, insect bites, or a skin allergy to soap or makeup.

Good hygiene can help prevent impetigo, which often develops when there is a sore or a rash that has been scratched repetitively (for example, poison ivy can get infected and turn into impetigo). Impetigo is typically treated with antibiotics.
==============================================================

in other words, she's as unclean as she looks. Added to the funky scratches we keep seeing on her arms & legs in pictures, she is likely not washing herself during her multi-day drug binges, and is getting infections as a result. She sings like an angel - what a shame she's so vile...an utter disaster of a human being. I put the over/under at 3 years before we're reading her epitaph.

What talent? I believe I am adult enough to recognize talent even if I don't particularly enjoy someone's style of music. She sounds like a bellowing cow in heat. She has no voice control. She is monotone. I must have flown over the generation gap.

I like how they try and soften the blow by making an analogy to brown sugar and honey. It makes zombie face rot sound quite luscious.

it's the meth- suckers

it's the meth- suckers

#10, Not me. Fuck this site. One name for one e-mail address. That is all you would need to do Fish. Adios.

You know how you get impetigo? From being dirty all the time.

Its like when Liam Neeson's artificial face starts to bubble and melt in Darkman, but somehow less-sexy.

I'd like to call Winehouse's skin condition: Karmic Retribution

Christ, what a hideous chud. I'm betting she wishes MTV was never invented. She's got a face made for radio. Nah, scratch that...she's so damn fugly she'd fuck up a radio too. Good thing she can sing. She'd have a hard time holding down a regular job with a face that makes babies and children cry.

What I love are all the elaborate medical explanations for why Britney Spears acts like a retard, why Amy Winehouse has bad skin and how Heath Ledger died of an "accidental" overdose. Hey, entertainment PR flacks: we know that people take drugs recreationally. We're all adults here, give it to us straight. Drug addicts tend to not be healthy, and they tend to look not healthy as a result and often die as a result of their drug-taking. Just tell us that someone's a junkie. We can take it. You're not shattering any illusions here.

Her face is SO GROSKY, that bitch is only 24 and she looks RAUNCHAFIED!!!! EWWW

I was told that she used to date a guy last week, and a fans of her posted the story on --- stdpal.com---. A niche Positive dating service.

This is nothing but a publicity stunt for her upcoming line of beauty products and makeup. Ooze is the new blush - Get it now in honey or brown sugar.

She is hot. Just saw her sexy photos on a celebrity and millionaire

dating site called myrichmatch.com. Don't know if it is her.

Impetigo sounds like herpes..

reading this site always makes me bust out laughing - lmao
thats sad for this girl, great voice, has talent, justcant get her shit together

Equation:
No tits + Flat Face x Bad posture = pregnant looking

Ah, the English, showers once a week and neck deep in trendy bullshit 100% of the time, all the while assuring us we make and do "rubbish".

Feel gross?

refresh yourself with a cool sip of webelowwear . com

she could have been really pretty

if you look at her face close up in pic 7 she has the total potential to be very pretty...beautiful eyes and nice face structure then she ruins it with the "I havent showered in weeks" look...and that Lilly Munster eye makeup stuff going on.....yuck

Wow...that looks unsightly. I hope she's thrown out all of her make-up. If she's using the same products, that problem is not going to be going away for a while.

#89 - anita - ITA w/you. Winehouse is a beautiful gal, but she looks like a worn-out 50s stripper with that hideous makeup, horrid bouffant, and that hateful, stupid and ridiculous eyeliner. I've seen pics of her without makeup, she really must hate herself to put that crap on.

Check out this great video of Amy Winehouse practicing her dance moves:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9iRSfQvjLY

I guess dumb bitch is back on the crack. She'll never learn, until she dies. It's weird to me that some people don't value life at all or appreciate and honour the gifts they have been given.

Omg u cunts i love her live 2 doors down i do beehives she is amazing u sick basterds leave her alone man xxx:@

Haha, I saw this bit on 23/6, "She's about to start her own clothing, hair, and makeup line so her fans can copy her 60s-flavored crack-ho vibe. Who'll copycat Amy Winehouse? We tested out her look on a few of America's most beloved icons, and the results ain't pretty." The images (ouch) are here: http://www.236.com/news/2008/03/05/amy_slag_heap_winehouse_launch_4875.php

#94 and #95: Miss Winehouse, you really shouldn't smoke crack and type. You can't see the screen!

Dude, you are the biggest tool on earth. That is so nasty that you would even say shit like that, and extremely stupid

NOT IMPETIGO. That is a mild strain of strep. The infection is limited to the surface of the skin. There is minimal penetration. This is staphylococcus aureus. Not MRSA. The penetration swelled up Amy Winehouse's cheek. If left untreated another week, it would have spread ot her lungs and killed her -- similar to the death Jim Henson. It would also have left a hole in her left cheek about the size of an American dime.
