THERE. WAS THAT SO GD HARD?

These are the first pictures from “Ugly Betty” of America Ferrera without her braces (via TV Addict). And whaddaya know, it turns out Ugly Betty is only Hollywood ugly. I’m sorry, I know I’ve talked about this before, but I’m never going to get over the wrong-ness of taking an attractive young Latina woman, then not brushing her hair and giving her braces, glasses, and godawful clothes. “Because you see, little girls, that’s what it takes to survive in the fashion industry!” It’s f*cking stupid. She had braces for three and half years! Your orthodontist is swindling you, you goddam retard.
And yeah, I understand the point: Her individualism is what makes her pretty, and she succeeds in a cutthroat industry because she’s true to herself, blah blah blah. It’s complete fantasy. That would be like a show about a fat, out of shape slob in the Marine Corps who wears sweatpants and a stained white t-shirt instead of a uniform, but he gets promoted because he’s such a good person. No. Life doesn’t work that way.
“Ugly Betty” is crap and I hate it and I’m glad it got canceled. I guess there isn’t a joke there, but I don’t see anything funny about celebrating ugly people.

I got two words for you, Jake – Prom queen… material.

The “Glee” diss at the end was pretty sweet.
She had a boner for my buddy in HS.
She needs to lose some weight.
“She had braces for three and half years!”
That’s assuiming that they were put on the day the show started.

Nonsense. Your t-shirt isn’t stained.
“That would be like a show about a fat, out of shape slob in the Marine Corps who wears sweatpants and a stained white t-shirt instead of a uniform, but he gets promoted because he’s such a good person.”
Wasn’t that the first half of Full Metal Jacket but replace “gets promoted” to “gets his fat ass beat and loses his shit”
I want to nut all over her moustache.
She’s only Hollywood Ugly from the neck up. The rest is blogger ugly.
“Life doesn’t work that way.”
Sounds familiar. My very smart wife worked like hell in law school, and after watching her do that I can never, ever see that stupid, insulting movie “Legally Blonde” on TV without cursing at it.
/she liked it though. weird.
Why aren’t there any photo shopped animals in this post?! You’re slacking, Ufford!
If they make her classically pretty in the end, aren’t they kind of negating everything they did with the show?
Not that it was good to begin with. Because it isn’t.

Switch out Marine Corps with Mall Cop and you’ve just described Paul Blart.
Seriously, pure fantasy this show. Puerto Ricans can’t afford braces.
/I’m assuming her character is Puerto Rican
Her individualism is what makes her even more unattractive.
