Personally, I choose to view this as a "lame-ass-don't-waste-your-time-with-it" web site blocker feature built into my Firefox browser. You know, sorta like a pop-up blocker, only it's for an entire website. :-))

That's a pretty lame idea, and I'm with anyone who thinks most of the pictures on the site are fake. I've never tried BeautifulPeople, I'm a FireFox user though :D Personally I'm a MySpace <a class="user" href="http://www.myspace.com">http://www.myspace.com</a> / Rogue Connect <a class="user" href="http://www.rogueconnect.com">http://www.rogueconnect.com</a> addict!
