TV Rant
Okay, I really wish American Idol weren't on Faux just so we didn't support them when we watched it. That said, there were commericals from show called The Swan last night. Didn't watch it, but from what I could tell about the show:
1. They pick 17 women and convince them that they're ugly.
2. They have plastic surgeons work on the women without any consultation with the women themselves, as if there are all just things to be shaped like clay.
3. They prevent the women from seeing themselves until they're ready to humiliate them on TV by watching them cry over their new "pretty" selves.
4. They then go on to have a contest between the women so they can tell 16 of the 17, "Hey, you may be 'pretty' now, but you're still not pretty enough to be our finalist!"
Sick. Just plain sick.
