A.F said in an interview that she doesnt think that the title 'Ugly Betty' actually means that she is ugly, but it is kinda off like a mimic off the people that would call her Ugly ... If that makes sense ?

It's just that I read a Sunday newspaper interview with her today Jodie, and she was passing the show off as a profound work which had something to say about looks being everything, and how this was a terrible reflection on the superficiality of society....... Then next to the quote was a photo of the cast, and quite frankly, there weren't many any mingers there. I was just thinking 'practice what you preach', or don't just don't preach. Don't get me wrong, it's a worthy message, it would just hold more creedence if it came from somebody actually able to wholly identify with it. Still a great show, though.

I get what you mean, but with all the make up and 'accesories' on ... I think the backstage people have done their job, in a way Lol

Yeah, I know. Especially with the eyebrows. But it's still the case of another ordinary girl being beaten to the part by a beautiful girl. Even though the role was tailor-made for one. Just what the series purports to stand against. God!!! I'm sounding quite serious on this thread. I suddenly feel uncomfortable.

I think plenty would've taken it, but none would've been offered it. Guess I should hold my breath if I go to the auditions for M:I:4!!!!

If that makes sense ? are you saying that if you put glass and a brace on a beautiful woman and the dress her up really craply, she is still actually beautiful foreshame! - i've watched maybe an american tv show and this is never the case...

If that makes sense ? That is kinda the point of the show though.. All but one of the cast are botox injected, size 8 models who dress perfectly everyday, then there's the ugly one.. She has to stand out.

Yes I know, its just that if the writers are preaching about looking beyond skin deep, then why didn't they do when casting?? ......I've not got a fetish for ugly birds, BTW!

Agreed Trav. Not laugh out loud funny but it raised a smile and it was heart warming. Far better than these middle class Friday night comedies the BBC keep foisting on us ie that awful one with Mel (from Mel and Sue) and Ardal O' Hanlon about being parents and The Worst Week of My Life. Truly awful.
Catherine Tate, anything with Ricky Gervais and Little Britain are all overhyped and low on comedy.
GT don't agree with you about Curb Your Enthusiasm. It irritates me.

I like how you've modified the text on your sig to emphasise the current chasm between Wendys and the Mighty Whites in the table....

It wasn't intentional Trav it's just a happy coincidence.

Well one reason could be to (over) highlight the superficiality that exists in society. Or because they don't like 'ugly' people on tv
