beauty is in the eye of...

Email I got today from Cupid. I don't know how I feel about this... On the one hand, it's nice that my stunning good looks are being recognized ;D On the other.... who is making these determinations? Why was I being shown ugly people before while there is a supposed hidden stockpile of attractive people tucked away from the uglies' sight?? I find this offensive and discriminatory. But my beauty puts me on the winning side (as usual) so who am I to argue...
