    Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorible!!

    This is the worst website ever created! Girls of any age can go online and post their picture. Then boys will log on rate them on a scale of 1-10 how "hot" they are. It makes girls feel bad about themselves if they're not a perfect ten, and it also gives girls who are a perfect ten a reason to make fun of other girls who didn't get as a high score as them. This website is absolutely awful. Don't go to it!!!!!
