It’s petty when you are not one of the ones impacted. Good for you, Lady. Too bad people are so superficial that anyone who is short, bald, or not attractive or thin should ever have to even think about such things. These only matter if the job requires looks (e.g., a model). Of course, human nature being what it is, sales, marketing and so many other jobs will always want to hire beautiful people.

I agree, it's deplorable. Too bad they're so aggressive, too. Served a purpose once, not so much lately, hmm?

Incidentally -- beside the point -- Carlo Ponti was short, bald, not attractive or thin. When he died, widow Sophia Loren said it would be unthinkable ever to love anyone else.

Helen Thomas in 1932

I'll lay odds YOU won't look as good at her age as you do now either!

She was a bug eyed anti-semitic commie hag then and now.

Get your jollies by making subtle insults, I see? This is why so many people are spending more time on facebook and less on these anonymous forums.

I saw that show. And the woman who did not get the help was not fat nor ugly. She just wore frumpy clothes and no makeup. The one who got the help wore a short jean skirt and heels.

What’s fascinating to me is that people often fall for the beautiful “monster” or “poison.” Handsome Ted Bundy was able to lure many women due to his good looks. There are numerous tales of beautiful women who have ruined many lives of men caught up in their beauty.

Is this really the nasty journalist Helen Thomas? Oh my! I find it hard to believe. But, then again, maybe she was like the Picture of Dorian Gray, only her wickedness showed up on her actual face?

Get help, PP. There’s no insult in my post, subtle or otherwise.

Not doubting you, but can you prove that was her in 1932? Any link?

The nostrils couldn’t have grown that much larger.

It appeared so to me. Maybe I misunderstood. But, you continue to insult; now you are suddenly a “doctor” and telling me “I” need help. Wow. You are good. A couple of posts back and forth and you have already diagnosed me with a “problem.” Next you’ll want my $90.

If you right-click and select properties, you’ll see the source as follows:

Do an image search for “Helen Thomas”. You’ll be surprised at how she looked in her youth. Pity she turned so nasty in later life.

IIRC, he was talking about Uglo-Americans back in the early 90’s.
