Did you guys hear about the popular dating Web site that banned more than 5,000 people for suspected weight gain by other "vigilant" members? ''Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model," said the site's founder. Whoa. Let's discuss.
According to The Telagraph, a British newspaper, thousands of people have been booted from the site BeautifulPeople.com.
The site's managing director Greg Hodge said: ''We responded to complaints by moving the newly chubby members back to the rating stage. This is the same as having them re-apply.
Robert Hintze, founder of BeautifulPeople.com, said: ''As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld. Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model," said the site's founder."
First racism, now fatism?
All who were kicked off the site, or, er, asked to reapply, were reportedly given weight loss tips and information about local fitness boot camps.
And with that, we're reminded of the fact that some people never matured beyond the 8th grade.
Thoughts? Rants?
