Average = Pretty  #

Subject URL: Average = Pretty

Believe it or not, it's the most average face that adults and infants find the most attractive, according to research by a developmental psychologist at the College of William and Mary.

And I thought I was freaky for finding supermodels unattractive. I also find it interesting that the example image they've used as 'average' (a composit of 32 different faces into one) is child like (although it could just be the lame hair and clothes). But that's a whole other arguement right there...

And while we're at it, isn't she pretty? Pity she isn't real. I must see Final Fantasy when it finally comes out.

And if this continues, we'll all look the same in a million years. With big black eyes, and oval faces and no noses and tiny mouths... my god!


Blackstar charging postage!  #

Just noticed that Blackstar, the UK video/DVD online store that has been famous for charging no postage throughout the world, has just started charging postage. It seems items are a little cheaper but not 1.40pound cheaper (postage charge to Australia). Still, Aus$5 postage is a shitload beter than AUS$25 from CDNow/Amazon etc. and even beter than my fav ABSound from Canada (AUS$12). Blah...
