Help wanted: No ugly applicants, please

[Fumesucker]

If you want only beautiful people working for you, now there's a website that will help you weed out any unattractive riffraff.

BeautifulPeople.com, the online dating site that only permits attractive people to sign up, now has an offshoot site for employers. Only 20 per cent make it through the 48-hour vetting process by members of the opposite sex to become BeautifulPeople.com members. The rest of us? Well, we are the 80 per cent.

BeautifulPeople.com tells Mashable that its new service is aimed at employers who want to hire "good-looking staff." The service will offer individuals and companies access to its 75,000 attractive members.

"An honest employer will tell you that it pays to hire good-looking staff," said Greg Hodge, managing director of BeautifulPeople.com, in a statement. "Attractive people tend to make a better first impression on clients, win more business and earn more."

[Mnemosyne]

2. How low can the shallow pole go? nt

[closeupready]

3. Kind of like an online casting couch, lol. Ridiculous.

[dballance]

4. So are they aliasing the site and redirecting vapidpeople.com to it?

Obviously I'm not one of the "beautiful" people. I've never and will never model for any kind of magazine, etc. unless it's AARP in the future. Therefore I'm sure I just bitter and jealous

I guess if you're so self-absorbed you sign up for that site then you deserve the other vapid, self-absorbed jerk with whom you pair.

5. The artform of

superficiality has reached new heights.

Shallow inside? That's fine, so are we!

As a great man used to say: "It is better to look good than to feel good!"

[BlueJazz]

6. Well..I guess I've got to made !! Here's me >>

[Fumesucker]

7. On the internet, no one knows you're a fox

Unless you put up your picture.

[BlueJazz]

8. Ah...Yes!...that's the ticket...yeah..

[Chan790]

9. You're Brandon Routh?

That's neat I guess. I liked you in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World but you made a crappy Superman. Sorry.

[BlueJazz]

10. Crappy Superman ?...Hey..I made the world spin backward and stopped the Joker. (or something)

[arely staircase]

[arely staircase]

14. going in for a waxing tomorrow

nt

[BainsBane]

15. Oh, no. I'm writhing

My clothes are falling off just from the sight of him.

[Arugula Latte]

16. It's those large soulful brown eyes...

and the fact that he can seal his nostrils shut in case of a sandstorm.

[BainsBane]

19. That's an important skill

When crossing the Sahara on a camel.

[arely staircase]

23. the ladies dig the nostrils

nt

[arely staircase]

20. you mean me, right?

nt

[BainsBane]

21. of course

[Whisp]

28. hee hee n/t

[sakabatou]

34. Ah yes, the Ridiculously Photogenic Arab Guy

[BainsBane]

18. And this is me

&cropify=485x670%2B0%2B0&resize=200x%3E

[arely staircase]

22. meh

sorry, couldn't resist BB

[BainsBane]

25. meh to Caprica six?

I can totally kick your ass. Have you seen me in action?

[arely staircase]

26. +1000

nt

[Fumesucker]

36. I prefer a more.. umm.. earthy look

[BainsBane]

39. I'd totally kick her ass

No contest. Plus if she does happen to kill me I can download into a new body.

[Half-Century Man]

30. Uh

your ass is glowing, go to a doctor.

[BainsBane]

32. That's back lighting

but my spine does glow red when I climax.

[Half-Century Man]

40. Oh Okay

Is there a chance it can be genetically passed down? I just had a weird visual of your town on prom night 200 years from now, lights going off like a pink floyd concert.

[BainsBane]

41. It's programed in the software

You've never seen Battlestar Galactica?

I'm surprised that the men here don't share my adoration for Caprica Six/ Tricia Helfer.

[Half-Century Man]

42. Saw the old one when it was new.

Haven't watched the new one yet. shit happened.

[BainsBane]

44. The new one is way better.

The picture I posted is of a cylon. I'm basically obsessed with Battlestar Galactica, and I have a huge girl crush on Caprica Six, perhaps because she is entirely opposite from me physically.

[TreasonousBastard]

45. Some of us just had to catch our breath for a minute.

[Pelican]

46. Half right...

Oddly enough Tricia Helfer seems incomplete as compared to Six...

[BainsBane]

47. I tend to agree

Helfer certainly is beautiful, but Six's super-human abilities have a particular appeal.

[BainsBane]

13. Is this just in Canada?

Because I think it's illegal in the US.

[brooklynite]

24. No it's not...

...unless you're a "protected class" (of which beautiful/ugly isn't a parameter) you have no protection against failure to be hired, or being fired for your looks.

[BainsBane]

27. But can't screening a priori based on looks

be seen as gender and race discrimination? Airlines are no longer allowed to have flight attendants weigh under a certain amount. Obviously employers hire people based partly on appearance, but I would think this kind of blatant pre-screening invites legal trouble.

[jberryhill]

31. Ugly and beautiful come in all genders and races

There used to be a code like "front office appearance" that was used by employers to signify "white" to employment agencies.

[UtahLib]

17. My guess would be

that Greg Hodge and his cohorts are ugly clear to the bone.

[Half-Century Man]

29. Fumesucker, You have a knack for finding the obliviously corrupt.

If the attractive shell of a person was all that was good about them, then Jeffery Dahmer, Richard Rameriz, and Ted Bundy were all good people. Those tall dashing blond young men in their black Schutzstaffel uniforms made good impressions on everyone.

[Fumesucker]

48. It's a gift, what can I say?

Always bear in mind that Lucifer was an angel of surpassing beauty.

[JI7]

33. is this the site run by the 2 Douchebag Looking Guys ?

[Riftaxe]

35. Dang I am hosed!

Fortunately the people who care about me have seen past my physical imperfections...so i not pass that web sites; scrutiny, but am at least at ease.


All that said, i do miss my hair....dang sunburns.

[Douglas Carpenter]

37. I have an idea! Let's have a charity for those in need - but the help only goes to the beautiful

Only cute hungry children or beautiful victims of wars, famine and natural disasters need apply.

[Douglas Carpenter]

38. I actually know someone (one of the most shallow people I have ever met) Who believed in all

seriousness that beautiful people are beautiful because of the goodness that is inside of them and that they are being rewarded for all the great things they did in their past lives. - How's that for some real shallow new age spirituality?

[HiPointDem]

43. actually, beautiful people are lizards from the planet remulac. appearances are deceiving.
