People obsessed with their appearance suffer from a biological disorder, researchers now say. But not so fast: It's still our culture that warps our brains.
  • some mugs are just ugs

    some people are just ugly, and realize they're ugly, and thanks to plastic surgery, that's no longer a death sentence. and maybe jacko WANTS to look like a freakshow. After all, he admits P.T. Barnum is one of his role models.

    p.s. is there a WAY that a person looks to OTHER people? i see some of the same people daily. depending on my mood or theirs, what they're wearing or their mannerisms, they look different all the time. from one minute to the next, from trillions (if not infinite) angles, just like i look to myself in the mirror.

    perhaps the implication that there is a fixed WAY that people ought to look is the problem.
