I am a Channel Sales Manager at Webtrends. I am 30, happily married + living in Portland, Oregon. I don't have many reasons for keeping this blog. I tend to talk about emerging web culture + how ridiculous the media is but the majority of this site consists of stuff that makes me smile. find archives here

I am dedicated to shedding the fear of all the things included in the system of control. Know that I will always post, so please come back or subscribe to my rss feed. Feel free to leave a comment + not be an asshole. Relax, none of this means a thing.
If you want to contact me, leave a comment + I may or may not get back to you. It is what it is. Oh yeah, I am not a copywriter so please excuse mispellsings.


About Me

i love beautiful people dot com

Posted: January 5, 2010

don’t get me wrong, it is nothing i support – but this is the sort of thing that makes me fall in love with the web all over again. beautifulpeople.com is a social dating site that only allows it’s member to be beautiful. and if you don’t meet their criteria then you get kicked out. recently as an example they kicked off over 5000 people for packing on weight over the holiday season. you hear that you ugly shit eaters!!

Beautiful People

it is like studio 54 or the clique in high school that would never allow the fat ugly people to be a part of it. in order to get in, you have to be voted in.

in a recent cnn article the site was featured discussing their controversial methods. i personally think it is pretty straight forward. soon there will be a sports site that will monitor if you are jock enough and will also kick you out if you don’t measure up – and the best part: people will pay in order to be included. imagine if you could go back to high school and pay to not be the awkward kid drawing dicks in class.

Beautiful People

this for some reason reminded me of ashley madison, the site that promotes having an affair on your spouse. in fact they guarantee you will have one or your money back. what a deal! with over 5 million members you can sign up and within minutes find someone to have an affair with. a horrible horrible website but damn effective.

Ashley Madison

…a site for cowards.

“letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model” <—-hahahahahahaha i mean to each his own.

but this ashleymadison.com site, well, well that's just pure evil.

I’m starting a competing site called ihighlydoubtyourprettyenoughforthissite.com I’ll plaster fake orange tan cream on my face and throw my hair up in a fuax hawk so I can confuse people into thinking I’m good looking enough to be the site’s founder.

Going to be sick.

Today my 5 year old very innocently said to me, “It looks like you still have a baby in your tummy, but the twins are already born.” Awesome.

Thanks for putting the pics of the sites. Wouldn’t want to scare anyone with that affair site. I agree with all of you. EVIL!

This is my response to Mr. Hintze and his bunch of egotistical, superficial assholes that can even dream up bs like that!

Makes no sense at all why people are this way when we are all created to be equal, yet folks still put themselves on a pedestal to appear taller (or more better looking)than they really are. Boy oh boy, make-up can work wonders, but when the make-up comes off…
check it out and let me know what you think.
