Say, if you’re fat and ugly, full of pimples and blackheads, what do you reckon that you could do to uplift your self confidence and have a place in the society?
A) Strive to be knowledgeable, and be smarter than everyone else to gain respect.
B) Work on the personality, because personality goes a long way.
C) Commit suicide, because all corpses are ugly and everyone’s at the level playing field.
D) Go to a religious medium and pay him 2000 bucks to magically transform yourself into a good looking person.

Well hell, as unbelievable as it may sound, somebody actually chose D and ended up being in the news today…

Woman’s quest to look beautiful fails, cops nab medium
KUALA TERENGGANU: If something is too good to be true, it probably is.

A 33-year-old woman learnt it the hard way after a medium pro­mised to make her the prettiest woman in town in just one month through traditional treatment.

The woman from Seberang Takir, who was also on the plump side, paid a deposit of RM250 to the medium who promised her a slimmer figure.

“The victim was requested to attend several sessions of the treatment, and each time, she had to pay a fee.

“She had forked out a total of RM2,250 for his services since the beginning of last month,” said state Commercial Crime chief Superintendent Azmi Adam.

During the course of the treatment, she was not allowed to look at herself in the mirror for the “magic” formula to work.

The victim, who was self-employed, could not contain her curiosity after 31 days and decided to have a glimpse of herself in the mirror.

To her horror, she found that her face still had as many pimples and blackheads and her body had not lost any weight.

She decided to confront the medium at his house, also in Seberang Takir, to get a refund of her money and was told by neighbours that many other women had also fallen prey to him.

The victim lodged a police report the same day.

Police picked up the 34-year-old man yesterday.

She was horrified to even look at her own self, after not seeing herself in the mirror for a month – That actually had me cracked up bad. *wipes tears*

In all seriousness, if the woman really got conned and the religious medium got away with her money, I’d say she deserves it. She should be more worried about her stupidity than her looks.

She was very lucky in a way that the medium was not smart enough to be a conman, for staying around waiting to be caught. But what’s unfortunate for us is, this dumbass of a woman has 1 vote on her for the next GE, and her stupidity isn’t going to do a lot of good with that vote.
