Is it sadder when a pretty person dies?

Hi Everyone!! :o)

When you hear of a death on CNN [or wherever] are you more likely to care and be upset if the person who died was pretty or handsome? I can't help but notice how the news media seems to focus far more attention on horrible things happening to pretty people than to the not-so-pretty. Is it just my imagination? Or are we ALL like that?

Which of the following made-up stories are you more saddened by?

NEWS ITEM ONE: Early Friday morning - 19 year old Jenny Smith was abducted from her home. Her body was found in South Park late Sunday evening. Smith was described as having blond hair and blue eyes. She was a fitness instructor at BodyPlus and a three time winner of the annual Hooter's Wet T-Shirt contest. The police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the abduction and subsequent murder of Smith to call them at 555-1234.

NEWS ITEM TWO: Early Friday morning - 19 year old Jenny Smith was abducted from her home. Her body was found in South Park late Sunday evening. Smith was described as a large female with short dark hair. She worked part-time at the DonutHut but dedicated most of her energy at her home-run professional dog-walking business. The police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the abduction and subsequent murder of Smith to call them at 555-1234.

GBH - Craig!! :o)
