Ugly People versus Pretty People

Hi y'all.
I've decided to come back to my blog and stop using Facebook for everything...
Yeah, I've been using Facebook to blog about my life but then the creators of FB changed the layout of Facebook and now I can't easily blog anymore.

So, now that you know where I've been all this time it's now time for me to talk about a topic that has been bugging me for the past hour.

Watching my MTV reality shows, a.k.a The Hills, there was this commercial where 2 young teen girls where talking about how bored they were in a bedroom and out of the closet came out a fairy god-mother looking woman. She was walking a white horse and she told the girls that they have a chance to win a trip to L.A and go shopping or something like that. Anyway, the god-mother woman was all dolled up with her hair done and makeup all in the right places and it made me think, what if she was an ugly witch-looking person? I bet the girls would've ran out of the room screaming for help. And it probably would've taken the ugly witch about 5 minutes to calm them down to listen to her message of winning a contest to L.A. Or she'd have to do something magical, in a awe-inspiring sense, to make the girls stay in the room and see if she had any other magical talents.

But you see, that's the thing. The girls would only stay to see if she had any other magical talents. And if the witch ran out of them, the girls would eventually get tired of seeing the ugly witch's face and leave. Sometimes people wait to see what ugly people have to offer before they decide if the ugly person is worthy of their attention.

I remember how in high school a nerdy guy would only have 3 card-trading/Star Wars-watching friends and the next grade he would be one of the cool guys in the popular group. Why? Sometimes it was because his parents just installed an inground pool and he had a party when the parents weren't there. Maybe he got the latest gadget before anyone else and he showed it to people. It could be a number of things. I'm just saying that it was because he had sometime first before people would give him a second look.

I'm not trying to bash people who groom themselves, but why should they get first pick? Why can't ugly people promote products off of T.V? Better yet, they should demote certain products! Grab a acne-faced teen, put her in a commercial telling everyone not to use a certain anti-acne product. Now wouldn't that be entertaining and controversial? Oh please. I think we can discuss other controversial matters.
