Beautiful People. Net is the Devils Span and coming from someone who doesn't believe in the Devil, thats saying a lot.
So i was watching the view this morning (before you give that scrunchy face as to why a 19 year old girl would watch a show with 5 women who clearly depise each other and just may have a breakdown before the show ends, or at least before Star Jones eats them, let me explain). I only watch Hot Topics, which just covers some news things for about 15minutes. I only like listening to the perspctives of Joy and Meredith. Joy who seems firmly liberal and Meredith who finds a clear middle ground, and clearly is a motherly figure. I mean when me and my brother were younger (and still now) we'd always have these competitions to see who was better. If somehow it came out that we were both equally good at that particular thing, we would go to our mom for the tie breaker. She would always reply with
Mom: You both are good at it, and i don't choose favorites or sides.
Thats how Meredith is, she never really gives an opinion she just speaks on both sides with a small slant to one of them. So anyway they were talking about something that happened on yesterdays show which i missed because of my 15 minute rule with the view. Some dudes have created a site, strictly for Beautiful People. What you do is you go sign up for the site, post your picture, and for three days the people who have already been accepted into the website critique your physical appearance. If you are Beautiful enough, you are now a member of the site and i guess you can mingle with Beautiful people. WTF.
I mean they were serious douches(who of course weren't that pretty themeselves) coming on the show(they replayed the clip b/c people were so pissed), profiting off of America's obssession with looks. It's horrid that we have to live up to this unreasonable standard of beauty which clearly is shoved in our face over and over again. Pretty people get paid more, pretty people deserve a happy life, pretty people marry other pretty people, who have pretty kids, and pretty dogs, in their pretty house. While the rest of us normal folks, can live our normal lives, and be content with our misfortune. Or we can end up on MTV with some weird eating disorder, drug addiction, a plastic surgery addiction which is reaplyed weekly on True Life.
I mean the other day i was going to Best Buy and as i got out of the car i saw some girl who was like 7. She clearly had a tan, was wearing a pink hat, a pink tube top, and some bell bottoms. When i was seven i was wearing t shirts and jeans. It's horrible. I don't even know wether to be mad at the men who made the site or mad at people for the obssession of enhanced beauty and youth which gave the men the incentive to create the site.
Who knows?
