Despair for the species...

I heard an ad last night for a new "reality" show on FOX. The premise is a bunch of unattractive women undergo plastic surgery to improve their looks and afterwards they have a beauty contest to pick the winner. Is this not one of the sickest friggin' things you've ever heard of? They have themselves CUT because they don't feel attractive and then all but one is told SHE'S STILL NOT PRETTY ENOUGH and you know what they're calling it? "The Swan".

It's morally reprehensible that they're exploiting a group's really freakish insecurities. I mean, I can understand plastic surgery if one is badly deformed or injured, but undergoing the risks just because you're average looking is really damn insane. Then to subject yourself to a beauty contest afterwards? The need for psychiatric counseling for anyone who would want to be on the show is astounding.
