Quote of the Day

I’ve never heard of this site, but a Web site touting itself as the best dating site for attractive people called BeautifulPeople.com is apparently doing what it set out to do by eliminating some of the uggos as approximately 5,000 members got kicked off for gaining weight. And the Web site is quite proud of itself.

The members were singled out after posting pictures of themselves that reportedly showed they had put on pounds over the holiday period.

The move was reportedly prompted by members themselves, who police the membership of the site to maintain a high – if highly subjective – standard of attractiveness.

“As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld,” said site founder Robert Hintze.

“Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”
