Dating Site Rejects Ugly People
Ugly is out and beauty is in
Imagine the reaction as founders of dating site BeautifulPeople.com watched 30,000 “ugly people” get accepted to their site over a six-week period—thanks to a computer virus, reports the Guardian.
The wrongfully admitted have since been rejected en masse, says the managing director, at the not-so-attractive price of $100,000. Believed to have been planted by a disgruntled former employee, the virus was aptly named “Shrek” and disabled the part of the site that allows members of BeautifulPeople.com to vote on would-be members.
The new members “were no oil painting,” says the director, saying “We can’t just sweep 30,000 ugly people under the carpet.”
One of them was a 31-year-old from Los Angeles who was rejected just after she hit it off with a guy. She plans to reapply after a makeover and professional photo shoot. “If that doesn’t work I’ll see what I can do with PhotoShop,” she says. “What if he’s the one? This is the only way I’ll be able to get in touch with him.”
So is beauty really in the eye of the beholder? Do you reject ugly is as ugly does?
