There's a network of sites (the beautiful agony, i shot myself sites) that has turned me down as an affiliate because apparently I am too pornographic and hideous for them and I can't tell you how angry it makes me. On the one hand I can relate to people wanting to protect their brand, product, models, etc. from being misrepresented, etc. but on the other . . . it really fucking burns me up when *I* am the one being forced to audition and then am rejected. It's like, who the fuck do these pretentious fucks think they are?

I can see it both ways.
