Spotted this para at the end of a BBC piece about the rise and rise of social networking sites: “While most social networking sites do not discriminate, and allow anybody to log on, a few sites have cropped up with a very particular sort of user in mind. Beautiful People’s entry criteria are simple – good looks.”

Yeah, and when you visit the site a lovely looking message says to get lost if you’re not using Internet Explorer. Of course I do exaggerate a tad as it does say in the depth of the text: “If you do not wish to update your browser but would like to continue even though BeautifulPeople will not work as is intended, click here:” Ain’t that beautiful?
