Susan Boyle vs the world

Who is Susan Boyle?
She's the recent contestant for 'Britain's Got Talent' who stunned everyone. (Go google her video up)

At first glance, you see her as an ugly countrywoman who seems like she has no talent. A 43 year old who IMO doesn't seem to speak well. The audience facial expression shows lack of enthusiasm and confidence of the upcoming performance.

On stage, when she starts her performance, everyone was given a slap to the face. Never judge a book by its cover.


Right.... that's the introduction to my real intention for this post.
PEOPLE ARE FUCKED UP.
Seriously, the media and everyone else has become biased of people that does not have the presentation skills even though they have the talent.
Ask yourself when Susan Boyle walked up towards the stage. Towards the crowd. You did not expect that old ugly country woman would have such talents.
We're too used to our Angelina Jolies and Brad Pitts. Hollywood and every other friggin reality audition shows have given us this impression that if you aren't decent looking, you'd probably suck.

Now that Susan Boyle has gotten the world's attention and have probably won 'Britain's Got Talent' by a longshot, the producers of the show will groom her up to their very best and make her more presentable. In a few months/ years, she won't look like what you remember her as today.

Last year's beijing olympics is a good example where this chinese girl who was supposed to sing the national anthem was replaced by another girl because she is more 'presentable'.


Well I say fuck the world. It's time for you to stop being biased and shunning those that lack presentation.
