Shows like 'Extreme Makeover' and 'The Swan'

[from zero]

Don't think I can say anything more than anyone else already has here.

I agree.

Complete absurdity.

AND some of the things that they have wrong with them cant be fixed by exercise and stuff.what bout their teeth? What bout the one woman who has , to me, a butthole for a husband who dosent seem to miss her..I think if they want to do it, then more power to them.

plus i am watching the show and i love it

I work in the industry, and even I'm offended by this program. Yes, it's an unwritten rule in entertainment that hot chicks and guys get all the ads, roles, scripts, jobs, covers, shoots, etc. But at least it's not so obviously flaunted in a way to put down "ugly" people.

But this program is doing just that. In such a blatant fashion.

But it'll create publicity and millions will watch. And some producer out there will go home with bank.

I would refuse to buy advertising on that show tho. I wouldn't want my company associated with crap like that.

when i watch them i think that its very pathetic and to loook at the inside of peolpe. but thsi is probably the reverse reaction that they intended and recieve when they made these shows.

 

[Delinquent]

personally, i think shows like this are a disgusting reminder of how shallow and morally bankrupt this country is becoming.

instead of trying to better our entire self, be it physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually speaking, we look to television programming for guidance, as it was some kind of blessed, god-damn blueprint to live our lives by.

please calvin klein, mtv programming execs, and the marketing people at maxim/cosmo/us/people/etc how i should look, dress, talk, and act! please tell me how to spend my time and money; help me live a more commercially complete life.

america needs to turn off the tv and pickup some god damn books.

And what do books do that TV doesn't? Sure it may help stimulate the mind but it's just another form of entertainment. What do you get out of reading fiction any way? Most likely enjoyment right? Well then why do you think you have the right to put down people who choose to watch tv rather than read a book? I can get just as much nonfiction and fiction entertainment from watching tv. Also there are people that do watch the stuff just for entertainment purposes NOT to see how to live in society.

 

[p0inko]

who said i strictly read fiction?

 

[Raina]

Physical beauty lasts forever right? It's the outside that matters most. Screw everything else-- all that's important in life is looking "fuckable".

Or not.

 

[SoKlueles]

we should all watch "shallow Hal"

 

[velvett]

You guys put all these hot women in ur avatars..where are the avatars of "average" women?

*cough*


Exactly.

Less pathetic more sad.

We as people contribute to the self image issues of people who are so down on themselves that they have given up before they give themselves a chance.They don't feel that they should even bother because with all that they think they could do they don't think they will ever be acceptable.
