Press Release Summary: The Facebook for hot people proves to be controversial, but with Miss Universe contestants and celebrities flocking to the site that lets its users kick off \"ugly\" people, BecauseImHot.com has got to be one of the hottest sites on the net.
Press Release Body: Just when you thought social networking sites to the likes of Facebook and Myspace had every social networking tool you could ever want, a new social networking site called Because I\'m Hot (BecauseImHot.com) has launched offering its members a place of exclusibe hotness. Not only will you find that every member on there is hot, or at least judged to be hot enough by its democratic system of voting, but you will also find some of the world\'s most established models, Miss Universe contestants and celebrities. While some members would not get my attention, even if I was the last person stranded on a desert island, there is at least some solace that they have been voted above average at regular voting audits. Voting audits does sound somewhat puzzling but it means that if you are deemed hot enough by a voting audit one week, it does not secure your place on the site if you are not deemed hot enough by members the next week.
Kicked off for being ugly?
Co-founder Peter De Beer, assures me that votes are checked against a users IP address to ensure that no vote rigging takes place. He tells me that of the 12,000 registered sign ups, only 3400 have secured their place on the hottest community site today\'s technology has ever seen. Now it might seem harsh that an ugly person could get the boot at the whim of something so superficial. Peter on the other hand calls a step in evolution or \'natural selection\'. Asked if he thinks he is hot enough, he said \"If some of the most beautiful people in the world on BecauseImHot.com think I\'m hot enough, then yes, I\'m damn hot.\" I have to admit, its difficult to argue with someone who would probably clone himself if he knew how to, just so that this dull and ugly planet could be as beautiful as him.
