If you're ugly, just get counseling, OK?
An exclusive online meeting place billed as a dating website for "beautiful men and women" was causing new outrage Monday after dumping 30,000 members deemed too ugly.
Last month Beautifulpeople.com was the victim of a cyber attack in which the Shrek virus -- named after the ugly animated character -- attacked the software used to screen applicants, allowing an influx of new members, The Guardian reported.
Unfortunately several thousand of those members failed to meet the Denmark-based site's aesthetic standards, and have now been dropped.
"We have to stick to our founding principles of only accepting beautiful people -- that's what our members have paid for," BeautifulPeople.com's Greg Hodge told The Guardian. "We can't just sweep 30,000 ugly people under the carpet."
I know I should feel sorry for these poor, ugly dolts, you know, the way a rich person will go on and on about his sympathy for "the poor" or an intelligent person will call for programs to help the ignorant lift themselves up. But, honestly, we have to have standards, right?
