another question: would the media have cared if she had not been attractive? would we even have known that someone had died?

Yeah, great question - one I ask myself frequently....
 
You never really hear about ugly people being killed. I mean it must happen, cant it? Surley there are some people out there who actually hate people who are ugly. But what if there isnt? What if its only the attractive people who are being brutally murdered whilst all the ugly ones are only charged with benefit fraud!!

What a world we would live in, our children and our childrens children never knowing true beauty. Never knowing that once there were people more attractive than us, and yes we used to lust after them. Our rate of masturbation then was much now than it will be then and the act of self fulfillment will be left for the animals to wonder. But their beauty was their downfall, hate for them grew and one by one they were picked off by their fat friend or jealous teachers. Until one day none were left.

I wonder what we would look like then, I'm sure there would be attractive people born, there have to be mutants, how else would we evolve? But how would they be treated, would they be the outsiders? Bullied and beated because of their looks, whilst the most popular girls in school, the clinically obese, pig faced bitches strut around the school with their weedy boyfriends.

This would be a strange planet and a strange time, television would no longer exist, nor would film. What of music you might ask, well surly there is music, of course there is. But no more music videos. Oh no, these would be completely against the law, something so horrendous has no place on a device that can be viewed by millions of people. We would have mass panic, mass hysteria, mass suicide and mass revoltion.

Would are green lands become baron deserts, would tribes form and start wars against one another. When one thinks about all the possibilities that could happen and are happening right now, one has to ask, why?

Dont you see people, if we cant get this to stop one day you and I, brother and brother or brother and sister will be at war, for what pourpose we cannot know. But I forsee a time when Mad Max: The Road Warrior is no longer a work of fiction. That time is forever closer dear reader, unless you can do something about it. Only you can stop our on coming fate, only you can save us!!! Protect the sexy at all cost, lay down your own lives if you have to. For they are the key to our salvation.

The time has come!!!!

No longer can true beaty perish whilst the weak and ugly prosper, KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!!!

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I, personally, don't think a murder is more tragic just because someone is attractive, but...

That's definitely how it's marketed in the media.
 
....yeah yeah, sure, but wasn't that girl (in my link) HOT???

;)

It's good to be the king...
Murder is Murder, regardless how pretty the victim was...

If we're going to show concern only when someone "attractive" is killed, then we've sunk pretty far....:(
 
It's not just murder. A teenage girl who stole her daddy's car and got killed in a car crash was made famous because she was attractive and the crash picture was circulated all over the net. There's definitely more attention paid to victims who are both white and female, particularly if they are pretty. That's just how the society is. I know I pay more attention if the picture is that of a nice looking girl. People who say they don't do that are more lying than not.
 
its the same with famous people. ex. heath ledger

thousands of people die every day, but i'm supposed to care about this one in particular because he was in a knights tale?? fuck you.

Re: Is It More Tragic When a Murder Victim Was Attractive???

Isn't this more of a statement of fact ?

Oh, no ! There is a proposal coming, I can just sense it.

I just never took it all to heart, the civil rights crowd with mega phone in hand, "demand equality" . . "equality equality equality !" Not in the most favorable living conditions will there ever be equality. :D

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
I think when attractive people are killed / murdered the media thrives on it for ratings. so more viewers tune in to the telecast. I would like to think both ugly and attractive are cared about and grieved for the same. but when it comes to news coverage. I think the attractiveness of the deceased does determine how much coverage it gets, and when adorable / attractive victims are televised it tends to pull @ more heart stings sort of speak. right or wrong. thats how society reads it. and thats how the media plays it.:2 cents:

I think it was said quite well in a satire on Conan the Barbarian types I once read in an Underground Comic...upon accidentally lopping off the head of the tavern slut he was hitting on during a sword battle, the Conan type uttered this deep insight:
"Damn! Nothing I hate more than a waste of good pussy!"
:thumbsup:
 
I wish the news media would just call it honestly....

News Anchor 1: Tonight there was a murder of a beautiful blonde 20 year old. Police say she was stabbed in the head because her chiwawa (i don't care how it's spelled) wouldn't stop barking....... <clip plays>


News Anchor 2: We'll be following this top story all throughout the next 5 days, with interruptions into your favorite programs to give you updates on the most insignificant details, like who she went to the prom with....

News Anchor 1: After the break we'll bring you more news of the day....

< 15 minutes of commercials>

News Anchor 2: According to local police, other murders did occur, but they were from low income areas and our sponsors don't care about them because they can't afford their products.... < cocks head to the right with blank stare > This just in, we have our token racial field reporter with the Beautiful Blonde girls Kindergarten teacher discussing the Blonde girls macaroni art and her penchant for raising her skirt above her head.

..... Token?

*and it just continues blah, blah, blah.


You get the idea.

Of course people care more if someone talented dies. I was really sad when i heard that Johnny Cash, Joey Ramone and Heath Ledger died. If someone with no talent whatsoever (Pauly Shore, David Spade, Steven Seagal or Jessica Simpson for example) would die i wouldn´t care at all simply because their work haven´t meant anything emotionally to me.
 
Damn... No matter how I'm killed, even if I'm cut into little pieces by a fanatic Hindu in the middle of the street who got his own religion all wrong and only eats kosher beef I still wouldn't get media attention, just because I'm butt ugly? :(
