Bloody Americans

That there on the left is "Ugly Betty". Except ugly Betty is actually rather attractive. I'm sure many a lesser-looking person is genuinely jealous of this 'ugly Betty'.

Is it so damn hard to actually cast an ugly person in an ugly role. Or is that too much for those fat, lazy Americans to cope with? For some reason a person can never be properly ugly, they can only ugly themselves up by adding to their existing appearance. Put on glasses for a bit ugly. Braces make you definitely ugy. All you need now is a dopey fringe and poor dress sense. How much would you like to bet that she gets herself a makeover (and becomes a better person as a result) before the end of the program? If only it was so easy for the rest of us.
