The girl isn't perfectly skinny, and she isn't white and blonde either. I think she's a role model to girls, no matter the skin tone. I TV should let more African Americans and Mexicans and Arabics star on TV. Get inspired.<BR/>-NobodieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-65773103414035124332007-12-07T11:55:00.000-08:002007-12-07T11:55:00.000-08:00Dear New Moon,I watched a TV show once where a gir...Dear New Moon,<BR/>I watched a TV show once where a girl dressed up as an ugly person and walked around selling flyers, and the secret camera caught people looking at her wierd and whispering and pointing at her. The show was to protest against segregation of ugly people in the streets on New York. It was unfair how those beautiful people just trampled over the uglies. <BR/>-NobodieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-1771633565026648932007-04-12T05:14:00.000-07:002007-04-12T05:14:00.000-07:00It isnt about the outside.If she's mean she's ugly...It isnt about the outside.<BR/>If she's mean she's ugly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-78655048273218660642007-01-30T07:23:00.000-08:002007-01-30T07:23:00.000-08:00I am as charmed by Betty as all of her fans.

They both have showed their vulnerability and potential for sensitivity. Just another example of how things are not always as they look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-33034181123031379682007-01-30T07:18:00.000-08:002007-01-30T07:18:00.000-08:00Here's a few more comments from our friends:

I mean, our society would called Betty ugly ... compared to the skinny, pretty movie stars on television. It also tells us to focus more inward than outward, and it has an awesome plot!"<br />-Kayla, 13, Ontario, Canada <br /><br />"The show Ugly Betty has only just come to New Zealand so I haven't seen much of it. Although I agree that it is great to have an 'Ugly' person as the main character in a TV show and it is good for girls to see that they are beautiful inside and all the things that everyone says about this show, I also can't help thinking that this show could be exactly the opposite for some people.<br />The ads call her 'Ugly' 'Frumpy' and 'Stumpy' among other things because of her braces, frizzy hair and strange fashion sense, so what about all the people in the world with braces or hair that they can't control or that new dress that theey thought was really gorgeous? Are they ugly and frumpy as well?" -Keava McKeoghNew Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00278995205054039334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12298894.post-83452996322036602202007-01-26T09:26:00.000-08:002007-01-26T09:26:00.000-08:00It's an awesome show about a girl (Betty) who is h...It's an awesome show about a girl (Betty) who is her own person. The title does not at all offend me, because in our society (let's get real) compared to movie-star women, we would consider her 'ugly'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
