yeah, that show sucks ass!! i think it can give the wrong impression that this is an ok and healthy thing to do. generally i am pretty lenient with mtv, but this is bullshit. if it was a one time episode that wanted to discuss a certain phenomenon, fine. but this is a series! damn it pisses me off!!!

Man, that show sounds disturbing. that one on Fox called the Swan actually made me feel sick when I saw a cmmoercial for it. It seems we spend all this time trying to find some national standard of beauty that it blinds us to the things about ourselves that make us original and therefore beautiful.

hello. i like your sleeve, little.

That makeover shit really scares me. Honestly, it's like watching conformity in action. Next thing you know they'll all be marching in formation and chanting slogans. Individuality is the antithesis of fascism. That's why I love SG too.

it is disgusting. it makes me want to vomit. but, like a car crash, you just have to watch, huh?

i think people should pay $12,000 to look like you!

i watch that show just to get disgusted at the human race. that girl sha made me ill-- noone's ultimate goal should be to be in playboy. nudity is rad, but be passionate about other things.
the one they had on last week was pretty gross too. it was a guy who wanted to look more like jennifer lopez as the first step in his transgendering process. which, ya know, more power to her, rock the fuck on, i say. but she got bone chiseled out of forehead!!! just to look like fucking jlo!!!

i' m getting all worked up. but thank you for being as disturbed by this as i am.

Sound like the money would have been much better spent on therapy. Oh and just a warning; stay away from the show on FOX called "The Swan." Haven't seen it...won't see it but from what I here it's "I Want a Famous Face" without the integrity.

I swear, psychological disorders like this didn't exist before the internet and television. What a sham.

Interestingly enough, people have given me crap about SG for the same criticisms that you're levelling here (saying that people only go to the site for attention, blah blah blah). I think that the greater part of the community here tends to frown upon the extreme attention whores, but to some extent it is also encouraged, which is really part of the liberating aspect of the site. As long as people are in it for that aspect and not-so-much the former, I'll keep my membership.

But yeah, pamela anderson... nasty.

You know the funny thing was I've seen some truly terrible things happen in life, and been less creeped than I was for that commercial for the Swan. It literally made me shudder with revulsion.

Holy shit, I didn't know that pamela anderson was vegan. I remember reading about her being in on peta's fur campaigns in the past, but that kind of puts her in a different light...

Still, I hate her acting and wouldn't want to look like her. But at least I could eat dinner with her. =)
