The Swan


I viewed about a half hour of this new show. The premise: remake yourself with plastic surgery...from and ugly duckling to a swan. Sick. There is one that helps make people over into their favorite celebrity. We're talking teens/young adults. Very sick. Extreme Makeover is another show along the lines of The Swan minus the chosing of the better outcome between the two patients.

I could understand if there was a medical reason such as a deformity (think cleft lip/pallet), but pure vanity...come on now.

Yes, people get teased. I got teased as a kid too. If you have insecurity or emotional problems, changing the outside shell with surgery is not going to make those problems go away.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in the end the essence of a person is what really matters. Cliche but so damn true. What good is a beautiful person, if they are rotten on the inside?

Oh, and if it's weight related get your ass off the couch and do something about it already or don't complain about it. I don't complain.... hahahah
