There was a black bear in my yard last night. As long as you don't threaten them, they're really nothing to be scared of.

First off, we don't know for sure that Yang wasn't chosen because she wasn't "cute enough." What they've commented on and confirmed was that she had a poor stage presence. Secondly, the media should really be ashamed, and be to blame for making Yang have any self-image/self esteem problems. For all we know, the people in charge could have chosen not to use her due to her having stage fright, or not feeling comfortable performing live. But the media finds out, and they find a photo of her in which she's not dolled up and wearing make up, and they compare it to a photo of a girl who IS dolled up and wearing make up, and they come to the conclusion that it must have been because girl #1 wasn't pretty enough. And that very well may have been the reason she wasn't chosen, but it's unconscionable to make those kind of statements about a perfectly beautiful young girl on the international scene, like the media has. My heart goes out to both little girls for being subjected to nasty comments by people all over the world.

Settle down, meggymoo. They work in advertising. And there's already too many jobs where people spend a good portion of their day pretending to work. If you're not working, you might as well not even pretend. Good morale at work fosters creativity, and creates an environment where talented people actually want to work.
