On the day US law enforcement announced that they'd  busted the world's biggest ID theft scam run by a former CIA  informant i realised that a market for trading physical identity wouldnt be such a bad thing. Sure , in the future people will design what their kids look like in a WYSIWYG  app from a range of simple pull down menus and premier membership  add on genetic enhancements  running to quite an expense but for now what do we do other than use the blur, dodge and lighten tools in Photoshop to present and market ourselves as the beautiful people we know ourselves to be inside?

There was a time when ugly meant something.

People would think, 'fuck s/he looks lived in and  ugly,  I bet her/his life has been interesting' but with plastic surgery now being something bored 23 year olds get into when they feel their profiles  or jawlines   no longer stop the traffic  ugly has been ejected from the interestingness room to the consequences of  poverty realm.

I'd like to think ugly could make a comeback in my lifetime. Saving that, I think I am going to save up to  have some surgery to look like Brad Pitt.

Anonymous   |2008-08-07 16:14:43 if you're really good-looking it just means that more people will want to have sex with you, and that's all it means. Darwinism.

Pete   |2008-08-07 16:30:34 I used to be good looking and you missed out the downside, if you are good looking less attractive and clever guys want to fight with you around women because strength is the only card they can play and women want you for your looks and nothing else. This is Darwinism too. Women seek the best genes for their offspring but they probably wont stay in a relationship with the person they get them from.

thepleasantvillekid   |2008-08-07 21:38:47 Having money is a much better way of attracting the opposite sex and selecting the best genes to breed from. Economic Darwinism.

jillian   |2008-08-08 04:05:02 So glad i took myself out of the game. I'm in the "non-competitive" realm. Anyone that ever looks long and hard at the human condition never walks away smiling.

Sarah   |2008-08-08 04:25:31 here's what I witness on a daily basis, there are 2 types of people in the world, those that are exposed to painful lessons in humility, daily, relentlessly, and those that get their egos wanked day after day, like clockwork, without fail. .....if you're looking to meet someone like thich nanh hahn or pema chodron, don't look on craigslist.
