so, this latest internet sensation lady, this singing phenom susan boyle - i must say, i am rather appalled by the whole thing. i've seen the video on youtube, and i agree, she is a very talented and amazing singer. but the entire reason that she's being dubbed "a sensation" is because she is, for lack of a better phrase, rather unfortunate looking. she is known all over the world because she walked out on that stage and belted out a song, and the world said, dang, that ugly lady can sing! how totally and uterly shocking that such an unattractive woman could posses such talent! how amazing and quirky that such a beautiful sound could be emitted by such an unbeautiful person! look! look, world - here is a person who is homely AND she has the voice of an angel! oh my god, world, will wonders never cease??!?!!
all this says to me is that society as a whole is a big fat pile of shallow ass people who are no doubt already planning ms. boyle's makeover and a reality show centering around her first kiss, at the age of 47. seriously, people. have we ever heard of not judging a book by its cover? not all talented people are beautiful. not all beautiful people are talented (or smart, thank you for pointing that out, miss california!). get over yourselves. if i were susan boyle i'd tell the whole world to shove it up their arse (and she would say it like that cause she's scottish).
