Twit or Fit??? Are you Joking???
I just got a link this morning for an article on TechCrunch. I know I shouldn’t be shocked but once again, that is proven a ludicrous ideal.
TwitorFit has blown my thinking that we are growing away from the need to categorize ourselves based on looks, right out of the water.
The premise is that you go to TwitorFit and vote for those people on twitter who you think are hot or not, Twit being not and Fit being obviously hot. However, in order to vote you must sign up and by doing so submit your own twitter profile picture to be viewed and voted on.
Am I the only one who thinks this rediculous? Seriously. What are people thinking when they submit their photos and sign up for this? Are we such an egotistical culture this is necessary? I’m grateful, I guess, that at least our pictures aren’t part of this little production unless we sign up.
Sheesh!

I think it demonstrates once again just how shallow we are. This really bothers me. There are people starving in the world; people who don’t have clean drinking water; people suffering without medical care; people without any kind of home. There are so many issues we, humanity, are faced with, and yet the Internet brings us stuff like this.
I had to look to see if this idea spawned in the US, further raising my concern about our focus as a nation in recovery from the Bush debacle of the past 8 years. I’d assumed it had, but the domain is actually owned and managed by a guy in England. Then again, our problems with stupidity on the Internet are global.
