Well...
I may have been watching a few too many videos lately.
(It's frightening how many of those I actually remember by heart once the first notes are out there. And I didn't even watch that much TV growing up! Scooby Doo in the mornings, Smurfs on the weekends as some sort of weird Belgian pride thing (no, seriously, that's how it seemed to me at the time), TMNT because my mom thought it was terrific, and of course Gummi Bears if I was home in time, which I never was and deeply regretted.)

See, the Moral Of The Story above seems to be that ugly people=bad and pretty people=good, with a couple sub-themes along the lines of Flat Shoes Aren't Pretty and Brunette=Ugly/Bad. Like I said, even when I was ten I knew there was something Wrong here.
