Unsere Forderung nach einem guten Aussehen, ausgedrückt in den beißenden Kommentaren, die sich ergeben, wenn die Öffentlichkeit an Perfektion verfällt, setzt diese Personen unter enormen Druck und kann die ansonsten Qualifizierten aussortieren. Wenn Video den Radiostar tötete, könnte es auch den heimeligen Politiker abschaffen.
