What I really hate! Web pages with titles like: 20 Cute Child Stars Who Grew Up To Be Ugly

Every time I see a title like that I want to find the person or person's responsible and publically shame them. Would really like to see some pressure put on pages that post this kind of crap so they pull them.

Can you imagine if you were one of those stars and saw yourself on the list? Not to mention, many of the people they call "Ugly" look quite attractive to me.

Sorry, just had to vent as I just happened upon one a few minutes ago.

I was just going to post something about my 20 favorite DU posters and how they disappointed me. I just deleted the whole thing.

On the list of injustices in this world....this would be near the bottom.

When they complain about their kids and paparazzi it annoys me. If you don't want your kids photographed then don't parade them out in public. They want the fame and fortune AND anonyminity. Nobody can have it all.
