A dating site that markets itself as an elite community for beautiful people with a "strict ban on ugly people" has axed about 5,000 members for packing on the pounds during the holiday season.
The international site BeautifulPeople.com threw out members after they posted photos "revealing that they have let themselves go," according to a company statement.
"As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld," said Robert Hintze, founder of BeautifulPeople.com. "Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded."

"Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model"
It's nice to know some companies still have high standards.

Did you see the part where only members of the opposite sex can vote people off. Seems some of the women were trying to cut down on the competition. It's a dog-eat-dog dating world out there. Or should that be cat-eat-cat? Which may be taken as a catty question in itself. Too bad I'm too full of self confidence to feel remorse. Damn my narcissistic tendencies anyway!
Apparently, my question mark key is on vacation. Please translate first statement into a query. Thanks ever so.
I went to the site last night and their servers were crashing. BOOOO!!!
