Here in the UK, a woman named Samantha Brick has been ripped apart by thousands of derogatory comments made by people over the last few days in response to an article she wrote about how difficult it is to be beautiful: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...beautiful.html
After causing such uproar amongst readers, she came back with this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...hes-right.html
While I think the premise for her article was insipid (but hey, it's the Daily Mail, which is not renowned for insightful, intelligent articles...), some of the comments were so vile and hateful that I really feel terrible for her. I can't believe the amount of insensitivity it has provoked. Part of me thinks it's all part of some elaborate publicity stunt...
Any thoughts?
