Dating Site Dumps 30,000 People for Being Ugly, Gets Hit by Virus

It's difficult being one of the beautiful people; not only do you have to deal with those less attractive than you in real life, apparently people get upset when you ban them from your beauty-exclusive dating sites for not being attractive enough, too. Life can be so unfair.

The problem for BeautifulPeople.com started when the dating site, which allows new members only when they have been voted as beautiful enough to join by the existing clientele, was attacked by a computer virus that eventually came to be called "Shrek."

(MORE: New Dating Site Lets You Bid on Attractive People)

The virus worked by approving 30,000 new members to the site who hadn't been attractive enough to get approval the traditional way (who also happen to be 30,000 new members about to be booted off the site as a result of the virus being identified).

According to managing director, Greg Hodge, "We got suspicious when tens of thousands of new members were accepted over a six-week period, many of whom were no oil painting."

The site isn't being entirely callous in its dismissal of the 30,000 non-beautiful members, just partially callous. Yes, they're still being shut out of the site for not meeting subjective ideals of attractiveness decided upon by strangers with their own issues (Let's be honest; if you're joining a dating site called "Beautiful People" that requires that you be rated attractive enough in order to belong, chances are, you probably have some hang-ups about needing approval somewhere inside your head), but at least they're also getting a helpline staffed with counselors to help them through the trauma.

Hodge isn't entirely insensitive to the non-beautifuls' plight: ""I sent them all a very carefully worded email, trying to be as sensitive as possible," he said. "But naturally many of them are finding it a bit of a sting to have been rated beautiful by their peers only to lose the accolade overnight."

The total cost of the mass rejections is expected to be somewhere around $100,000. Not to mention, of course, a few broken hearts and crushed spirits along the way, as well.

List indeed, List of what ? I am sure those whose names were removed
from the lists have cause to celebrate because I am sure that list has been
forwarded to the beast in hell and those that made the list are hell candidates.

grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin Everyday always brings its own comedy. Yesterday it was the banter and counter banter about "disgusting" things guys

do in clubs that almost made wreck my chairs with laughter, today it is one random attention-seeking website meant for beautiful people! Bet

tomorrow's headlines 'd be about a website exclusively meant for only virgins and shemales!

Buhahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!grin grin grin grin grin Zap the progenitor of such a website, why would i need a dating site to get my girl anyways?

Such projects are only going to produce unlimited loadsa ton o' shite. (My instincts told me exactly the same thing when i heard about Koko mansion for

the first time, you can't expect fellaz worth every pinch of their salt to be there). Thank God i wasn't proved wrong as evidenced by Le petite

mademoiselle Rita. grin grin grin grin grin undecided lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed Too bad the website organizers got the much-sought attention they had been craving for.

Probably this is an American site and as expected anything American involves propaganda.Americans believe they are the most beautiful thing on earth and tht they are Gods chosen ppl while non americans are the sons of the devil.

I don't think there's a lot of Black people on the site, especially since it's European based. I emailed them today asking how many Blacks were accepted. Let's see if I get a response.

I know this isn't nice at all but I can't help but laugh at the article. I've heard of that website before though. Like my mother always says, "narcissism will get you nowhere". What a shame. Do people really need this kind of validation in oder to feel they're important? I can't help but wonder about the "rejected applicants" who tried to join this website undecided
