What I think about the CFAwards

Many of batch 2010 know about the new blog that was put up a few days ago. It goes under the title "The Class Funds Awards." Basically what happened was a group of incredibly bored, insensitive guys conducted a survey on who the most beautiful girls in the batch were. So, they go around asking 50 "random" boys (from Sodium and the back lobby) to tell them who they think are the most beautiful girls in the batch, by rating each girl 1-5.

Now I've heard a lot of discussions about the site and I've heard a lot of opinions about it. All of the girls I know either completely HATE the site or don't like it at all, most guys dont give a damn, and others, myself included, are utterly disgusted.

Why, you ask?

As a wise someone once said: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I find this saying competely true. Beauty is a relative thing. It's not just how attractive a girl LOOKS, it's everything about the girl, from her personality, to the way she thinks. It's NOT something that can be rated objectively, because everyone sees everyone else differently from the next person.

And besides, when a person begins to rate another person by their looks, or anyting about them for that matter, it doesn't prove how much you like the person: it proves how much you DON'T CARE about the person. Because once you give someone a rating, you show that you don't treat them as a human being, but as something lower, something 2D: without enough depth that you can actually order them objectively just by getting 50 "random" guys and asking them them to rate every girl in the batch in terms of physical appearance.

I don't know what those guys wanted to accomplish anyway. I mean, HELLO?!?!? What are you guys trying to prove? That your crush is better than the next person's?!?! As far as I can tell, the only thing you were able to do was broadcast the FULL names of the "20 most beautiful and attractive girls in Pisay" to the entire WORLD, including, might I add, every single psycho on the internet who decides to search "Beautiful girls" on google.

And those guys actually have the nerve to tell people that "This survey may not tell the truth. So don't take it srsly" WHAT THE HELL, GUYS?!?! IF YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE THE F*CKING THING SERIOUSLY, AND YOU KNOW THAT IT'S INACCURATE, WHY POST IT ON THE INTERNET IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!?! HECK, WHY EVEN CONDUCT THE SURVEY AT ALL?!?!?!?

Moving on, it's bad enough to rank people like that, but what really PISSED ME OFF was this comment on a classmate's blog:

We recognized the top 20 females in the batch according to beauty.

Other random boys in the batch rated the girls from 1 - 5

1 - lowest

5 - highest

The average = total score/x (no. of raters)

The top 20 is shown

The other 54.... scrap

WHAT. THE. FUCK. It's bad enough to actually rate these girls, but to call EVERY SINGLE ONE of the "losers" scrap, that is just THE MOST insensitive, insulting, tactless, imprudent, thoughtless, boorish, discourteous, maladroit, disrespectful, offensive thing you could POSSIBLY say. Seriously, xfacekillahcrossx, DO YOU HAVE A HEART?!?!?!

Sigh...


WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RESPECT?!?!

God dammit.

EDIT: Apparently, the CFAwards blog was taken down yesterday. I guess a lot of people are happy. I sure am.
