Gained a Few? You’re Outta Here!

See, there’s this website – BeautifulPeople.com –a dating site launched in 2005. At the time, CNN called it the “sexiest website in the world today.”

The homepage sets the tone: “Do looks matter to you?” “Do you want to guarantee your dates will always be beautiful?” “No more filtering through unattractive people …”

Apply for membership, and current members will either vote you in, or give you the boot.

I couldn’t find membership numbers, but apparently it’s substantial, if the website can give the boot to 5,000 members.

Why did they lose their membership? Well you see, a bunch of the other members complained that some post-holiday posted photos showed weight gain.

“Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model,” said site founder Robert Hintze.

The banished former members could reapply, but only a few hundred were welcomed back by the remaining members with open arms. The rest of the 5,000 were directed back out the door.

Jeesh! It’s just another sign that the Apocalypse is just around the corner.
