Beauty a curse?

I've realised how reliant i am on modern tech, when our home phone line ceased to work for the past 3 days. Unable to log onto the net or even make phone calls proved to be rather frustrating, not to mention expensive........ cant wait for my mobile bill this mth.

Tonight's Australian Idol saw the apparant "pretty boy" of the comp kicked out. Surely being a good looking fella would have its perks; benefits that go without saying. But I could not believe the amount of patronizing Dan recieved about his looks! Yeah sure he's a good looking bloke and I would love to be like him :P, but the treatment he recieved was similar to say, a "fat kid" being teased. Substitute the word fat/ugly/chubby for hunk/hot/sexy, and that's what Dan got.

"That cant be too bad surely!?" Well, to some maybe, but i felt the level of taunts were irritatingly degrading, almost insulting. In today's society its politically incorrect to tease someone about their weight, but fine to patronize someone about their good looks.

I dont know if what i've written has come across the right way, but basically its sux when one form of patronizing behaviour is OK, while others are not. Double standards.
