baby, what's in that satchel?

oh. and some random thing that i've always meant to post but never got round to.

during a deep and meaningful with cousin stoo, this question arose:

why is it that if a fat/ugly/stinky/gross-in-some-other-way person plasters pics of themselves all over the internet/on their blog, and declare themselves hot/photogenic/beautiful etc, nobody really says anything. but if someone comes along and says "dude, face it. you have a bung eye, terrible skin, and really shouldn't have eaten that last cream puff", people from the far reaches of the planet suddenly appear and say "leave them alone! they ain't never done nuffin or noone!"

so it's ok to live in a world of complete bullshit and denial, but not ok to state the glaringly obvious? how bizarre.
