In news that is arguably being referred to as news, online playground for the vain and pretty, BeautifulPeople.com has expelled nearly 5,000 users for allegedly gaining weight during the holiday season. BeautifulPeople.com is an "elite" online dating site with a "strict ban on ugly people." To become a member you must first create a profile and upload photos to be rated by the BeautifulPeople.com community. If enough people rate you beautiful within the first 48 hours, you're in. If not, it's sayonara ugly.

"Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded," Robert Hintze, founder of BeautifulPeople.com.
As offensive as BeautifulPeople.com sounds, it is actually a smart business model. Niche-based Websites retain users, which means steady revenue from advertisers and paying members. And since we live in a superficial society full ofstd-ridden assholes good-looking people who want to fuck other good-looking people for sport fraternize exclusively with people having similar lifestyles, I am sure BeautifulPeople.com registrations will skyrocket post CNN coverage.
But one thing does strike me as odd. How do they know the members actually gained weight during the holidays? Is it not possible that some members posted old pictures to begin with, or even photos of other people? The correlation to the holidays is possible, but based on the information provided it's speculative at best. In fact, I'm pretty sure this whole thing is a marketing ploy to generate headlines.
Job well done BeautifulPeople.com. SMH at CNN...once again.

The internet is for lovers (aka attractive, skinny, white, wealthy, successful, heterosexual, Christian people)
So they are saying that you have to be thin to be beautiful? Puhlease.
