Who decides what makes a person beautiful? According to Beautiful People.com, 5,000 people can't make the cut!
This debate is one that has existed since the day Eve took that proverbial apple- the day that one person looked at the other and said, "um, you have a booger in your nose." Because at that point, one person said something to the other that made them feel (un) attractive. While I'm sure there are plenty of people who think we have progressed from neanderthal to a nicely well-developed homo sapien, I have to say that sometimes I think we haven't really evolved at all.
How else could you explain the dating website BeautifulPeople.com?
Apparently, membership in this dating club promises the members that they only need to spend their dating time with other "beautiful" people.

I'm not going to provide a link to the website because it's just too ridiculous for words. But the story doesn't end there!
In an amazing twist, which I find entirely entertaining, the members of the website voted on whether or not certain members who had "put on a few pounds" over the holidays could stay. To no surprise, 5,000 MEMBERS were kicked out!
Oh no- too many cookies? Well, guess what? You're too fat to be beautiful!
I wonder if any of the girls that I work with would be allowed on this website? Are we too "fat" to be beautiful, too?
Is there a height requirement, too? Most of my girlfriends who have gone on websites complain that the men aren't tall enough. This can be a problem when you are 5'10" and up, like many of my friends! But, I digress.

Beautiful People expels 5,000 members after festive weight gain
• Dating website axes singletons 'too fat' for its books
• US tops list of post-Christmas expulsions, followed by UK
BeautifulPeople.com said its hand had been forced by gluttonous members in the US, UK and Canada who had revealed the scale of their yuletide overindulgence in pictures posted online.
"Vigilant" fellow members, it added, had demanded action. "As a business, we mourn the loss of any member," said the site's founder, Robert Hintze. "But the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld."
To dispel any lingering doubts about the company's position, he added:"Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded."
The site's managing director, Greg Hodge, pointed out that the fate of the exiled "chubby members" had been democratically decided. "Their re-applications were reviewed by existing members and only a few hundred were voted back in," he said. "Over 5,000 were rejected."
NEW ADDITION... ha ha ha! They can't possibly be serious..
