14. How pathetically shallow.
Edited on Fri Oct-10-03 02:47 PM by benfranklin1776
“The people who watch are
predominantly male, and they won’t keep watching if the girls aren’t beautiful. "

This epidemic of empty headed Greco Roman style glorifcation of the beauty of the body over all else is
truly disgusting but nevertheless ubiquitous. This attitude was as bad as the clueless twits interviewed by the Wash Post who stated that they didn't care about being groped by der Schweinfuhrer. They stated that they would have loved to be groped by old AHNALD DA PIG and only hoped they could look as good as Maria so that they could get a husband that looked like him.
Television and Madison Avenue have exalted this worship of the body to this level of absurdity and contributed mightily to this epidemic of vapidity. This has of course poisoned the electoral well. Candidates on the national stage must be "telegenic" or they will not be taken seriously. A sad commentary. Is there in truth no beauty? Not to the infotainment biz.
