Sometimes, when I'm procrastinating, I do stupid stuff on the internet. I know you all know what I'm talking about, because you're probably procrastinating right now while reading this. Don't lie.
Anyway, I stumbled upon a website called Anaface (http://www.anaface.com/) that supposedly rates your "facial beauty" based on how symmetrical it is or whatever. I personally think it's ridiculous, because when I look at someone, I don't think "Man, that person is attractive. Their innerocular distance is like the PERFECT length for their eyes." But whatever. Maybe some of you do. Creeps.
Since I really, REALLY didn't want to write an essay about how European monarchs used the sciences to enhance their power in the 16th century, I decided to kill some more time and try it out.
Apparently, it doesn't compensate for cartoons.
I feel like that should be considered some sort of racism, you know? And furthermore, what about those of us that don't have noses, like Voldemort? Or ears? Are some artists considered prettier than Van Gogh, simply because they have the advantage of having more ears?

I'll sue. I'm pretty sure I can do that. I don't really know how the law

Prejudice is wrong, guys.
Van Gogh was probably friggin attractive, even with one ear. I'm sure he would have girls lining up to date him, except for the whole insanity thing. Also, there's the fact that he likes to give away necessary appendages and organs as tokens of affection, instead of, you know, flowers. Although, that does add a little bit of spontaneity into his relationships, I'm sure.

I think this should be the start of some really super touching anti bullying campaign that will be featured in elementary schools for a week and then be completely forgotten by the next recess. Everyone is beautiful, despite the number of ears or noses they have. You're beautiful even if you are a cartoon or a dog or a really shiny rock in someone's back yard. Even if you're a really
dull rock in somebody's backyard, there is something beautiful about you. You can still be earless and dead sexy. You know what? Work that one ear or noseless face or cartoon hand with freakishly weird fingers. You are freaking BEAUTIFUL.
