BeautifulPeople.com Scorns Fatties--Deletes Their Accounts

Until this a.m., I had never heard of BeautifulPeople.com, though I can't imagine why not!  However, over 5,000 of its vainglorious members were nixed this week due to self-purported, or through newly uploaded photos depicting, weight gain.

I continue, as my friend here, to purport that I am simply big-boned!  I'm sure it stands to reason that a website such as beautifulpeople.com must uphold a set of standards no matter how subjective, but I also wonder what the proportion of women deleted to men might be as well as the set of standards used to determine said deletion given that current members get to rank other members to prompt accounts for deletion.  What if I promise to wear my man-spanks?  Needless to say, I find it quite unlikely that a for-pay site such as this (although it offers a limited "free" membership) would delete the accounts of paying members, no matter how much weight they gain.

Says founder Robert Hintze, "Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded." 

Maybe this fattie will attempt to infiltrate :)
