1st December:

Channel 4 in the UK has just announced that it has secured rights to the reality television show Big Brother until the year 2010, at a reported cost of £180 million. Honestly, I don't know where to start...

Whenever our body-fascist society is getting you down, it's worth remembering that Mother Nature probably plays cards. Roughly 5% of the poplulation are stunningly beautiful. The other 90% are OK-looking and the remaining 5% are complete munters. If you are in either of the former two groups, you'll probably be fine. Really, don't worry about it.
