Looks vs. Personality

Lately, it seems like everyone has at least mentioned the likes of Kate Gosselin and Heidi Montag. The whole "reality" genre of television is what I think has contributed to the ruining of scripted television as a whole. I loathe the genre and everything about it. I hate how it thrusts everyday people who are totally unaware of what happens when fame strikes into the limelight. It ruins their lives but often gives them gobs of cash - a truly double-edged sword.

But the real topic here is looks versus personality. In a conversation yesterday it was decided that someone should do a graph depicting the mix of the two, the ideal/typical median and a scientific sampling of a handful of female "celebrities".

I chose Roseanne, Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, Kate Gosselin, Tyra Banks, Megan Fox and Heidi Montag in my scientific graph. Look at those results and remember the red line is the median. WHere would some other celebrities land? Where would you land? Me? I'd be squarely in the lower left hand corner. Celebrity-free is the way MinnPics is. It focuses on great photography in Minnesota and you should really take a gander.

Sometimes a Minnesota weekend needs a simple explanation and what's simpler than a pie chart that looks like it was drawn by a five year-old with a bad case of Parkinson's? Yes, my weekend was about simple things, simple pleasures even and even though I'm about 36 hours late in posting this in a timely fashion, I have my reasons. And yes, I am well aware that the numbers add up to a bit more than an even 100% but that's how busy my weekend was. Of course I could have scaled back the amount of time I spent laying on the couch but it's rather proportionate to the amount of time spent in an alcoholic haze.

Anyway, what did everyone else's weekend consist of? And being that it's Super Tuesday, will you be voting in a primary or caucusing should you be in a location offering such today?

A picture is worth 100%

Feelings and facts, both best expressed in a delicious pie chart.
