Then they had to offer counseling to people who were first accepted, then rejected from the Beautiful People site.





Dating Site Dumps 30,000 Ugly Members

The most exclusive dating website for "beautiful" men and women has dumped 30,000 "ugly" people who flew under the radar after a computer virus –-aptly titled the Shrek virus— accepted their applications despite their "ugliness" ....

Just sticking to principles, says one of the founders:

"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."

The website works on a system under which members are able to rank applicants on a beauty scale. The decision to reject 30,000 cost the company more than US$100,000 in refunds and Hodge sent a regretful email to the distressed dumpees.

Below are the two founders of the Beautiful People site:




Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder ...

[A HERETIC I AM]

1. The blonde at the lower left of the first pic is OK, but the hairy guy next to her has to go. n/t

[sabrina 1]

3. Lol, that's what I mean about 'beauty being in the eye

of the beholder. I LOVE the hairy guy! The blonde you can have.

[A HERETIC I AM]

11. I dunno....hairy guy looks like he brings his work home with him....

and his work is either a long cancelled Broadway show or killing slightly slower quadrupeds.

[sabrina 1]

20. I bet he has more heart than the blond though.

:rofl:

[jmowreader]

33. The hairy guy is the membership screener

If an ugly guy accidentally sneaks in, they send the hairy guy over to his house and the problem is solved.

[sabrina 1]

45. Lol! And I still like him better than the blond!

[LongTomH]

2. There are days when the Onion isn't bizarre enough!

This is one of them!:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[dmr]

7. Some days I think the Onion has outlived its time.

:rofl:

[MrScorpio]

4. Who would want to associate with these douchebags anyway?

I bet most of those people who think that their "beauty" is the most important thing about them are probably as about as deep as a puddle

[Webster Green]

43. The two founders definitely have the douchebag look.

The hairstyle, the spray on tan. :puke:

[dkf]

5. Yeesh a website full of people who are into themselves.

That can't be a good place to find a lifetime companion.

[sabrina 1]

16. The only good thing about it is it keeps them out of the

general population.

[dkf]

17. Keeps them recirculating I am sure.

[GoneOffShore]

6. It's the Douchey Brothers and their sister Snooki!

[pipi_k]

8. "Beauty" on the outside doesn't equal

Beauty on the inside.


Or, as Judge Judy is so fond of saying...

"Beauty fades...dumb is forever".


:7

[demmiblue]

9. The whole thing was marketing strategy. No one cares. n/t

[rrneck]

10. They're too sexy for your money...

[msongs]

12. nice Diana Ross clone. can she sing or marry multi millionaires? nt

[petronius]

13. If this just happened a month ago, and there was time for 30,000

'unacceptable' people to apply, how many 'qualified' applicants were there in the same time? The article says applicants are evaluated by members, but with those numbers it seems these people wouldn't have time to do anything except rate each other's pictures... :shrug:

[SoDesuKa]

14. That's OK, I Didn't Want to Join Them Anyhow

Ugly Power!! That's right!

As Groucho Marx said, "I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."



I deserve beer and travel money and many experiences.

[WillyT]

15. I Will Be Eternally Grateful If I NEVER Meet ANY Of The Self-Centered Idiots On That Site

Especially, the "founders".

:shrug:

[sabrina 1]

21. You and me both!

They deserve each other though. Better they find each other than some nice, unsuspecting person in the real world.

[sufrommich]

18. The founders look like Jersey Shore rejects. I guess beauty is

in the eye of the beholder.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

27. or jagerbomb holder...

[BlueJazz]

19. I happen to be on that site. Here's my Pic >>>

[neverforget]

22. I guess that leaves me out.

[sabrina 1]

23. Aw, he's cute.

[Throd]

24. One of those people looks a lot like a lion.

[Kaleva]

25. I can't understand why I got kicked off that site. Here's my profile pic:

[sabrina 1]

29. Count your blessings!

You like a lot more interesting than the two founders.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

26. Sadly I have two cousins who look almost exactly like that pair,

The family calls them the "jewbags" they are G-word royalty because our grandfather worked for Bugsy Siegel. I challenge anyone who opposes eugenics to spend just two minutes in conversation with them. Were working on the assumption Palin borrowed the bling from one of them.

[sabrina 1]

28. You poor thing! Life can be very unfair!

It could have been worse, they could be your brothers! Thank the gods for small mercies.

[Scottybeamer70]

30. heh

I met someone online once.........think it was Shrek's bro. From then on, when I told my friends
that I was going to meet someone, they would all say "Shrek alert!"........:rofl:

[JonLP24]

31. Publicity stunt from last year

[sabrina 1]

34. I wondered about that. Doesn't change the sentiment though

Shallow, idiotic, empty-headed people, whether it actually happened or not.

[Stinky The Clown]

32. Nice haircuts . . . . .

. . . . . assholes.

[Odin2005]

35. And WHO gets to decide what "beautiful" is?

I think a real woman is prettier than any size-0 bimbo.

[customerserviceguy]

36. A lot of the online dating sites are have people who are all about this

At least these jerks are being honest about that.

I met my lady on a website for larger folks. They have a message board there that really told me what online dating was like for the non-"perfect" woman. Some were on eHarmony, and seemed to hit it off with guys in the initial personality match, etc. Then when pictures were shown to each other, a lot of guys came back with, "Uh, I don't really think we're compatible." It saved them from meeting shallow men, but it was disappointing to get one's hopes up just to have them dashed against the rocks.

I've been told that a lot of other dating websites are like that, too.

[sabrina 1]

37. Interesting, so people got along before they saw photos.

Sad to think how often that superficial though probably pretty common and maybe even unconscious standard destroys what could have been very happy relationships.

Reminds me of an old movie I was a while ago with Sidney Poitier, called 'A Patch of Blue'. It was about a young white blind girl from a pretty awful family, whose mother, Shelley Winters, was extremely prejudiced against minorities, who was taken under the wing of a Doctor, played by Sidney Poitier. She did not know what he looked like and only cared that he was kind to her, nor did she have to lie to her mother.

I guess the moral was that she saw only the character of the Doctor, while her mother's thinking was warped by her prejudices.

[customerserviceguy]

39. Yes, superficiallity rules on dating websites

This website is just being naked and honest about it.

I'm glad my lady and I met on our website, she was quite taken by the fact that I could spell, capitalize properly, punctuate and generally use proper grammar on the message boards on that site. When I fail to do that here, I blame it on the really good beer she buys me!

[sabrina 1]

47. I'm glad you found the right person.

:-)

[JI7]

38. since when does looking like a Douchebag = Beautiful ?

[JI7]

40. hahaha, That's an airbrushed pic of the founders , and even there they aren't all that

here is another pic that looks more real. (the description is not from me but where i found the pic from)

[TK421]

41. There is so much douche in that picture alone...it just kind of jumps out at you!

[joshcryer]

42. Guidos are supposed to be beautiful? WTF!

[Liquorice]

44. It looks like a publicity stunt to get their name out there. And it appears to have worked. nt

[-..__...]

46. Camel toe...

And why the fuck is she dressed like some sort of foreign agent from a James Bond movie?

[peopleb4money]

48. The beautiful people, the beautiful people It's all relative to the size of your steeple

The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It's all relative to the size of your steeple
You can't see the forest for the trees
And you can't smell your own shit on your knees

There's no time to discriminate
Hate every motherfucker that's in your way

Hey you, what do ya see?
Something beautiful or something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
You live with apes man, it's hard to be clean

The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away

[Dorian Gray]

49. On a totally superficial level

I don't think guy on the left is attractive at all. So, of course he starts a beautifulpeople.com website. Makes perfect sense.

[TK421]

50. my keyboard smells like Summers Eve from all the douche in their pictures!

[suffragette]

51. The guy's pose on the right reminds me of Zoolander

Looks like he followed most of this instruction set for "Blue Steel"
http://www.wikihow.com/Do-the-%22Blue-Steel%22-Pose-from-Zoolander
How to Do the "Blue Steel" Pose from Zoolander

1) Pose your lower body, this is mainly up to you (popping of the collar is highly suggested).
2)Tilt one of your shoulders towards the camera.
3)Make sure your face is looking directly at the camera.
4)Pucker your lips; and suck in your cheeks some.
5)Squint your eyes just a bit, as if there is a strong wind or sand blowing at you.

[Shagbark Hickory]

52. This is obviously a site for breeders.
