If A Beauty Contest Is Not Fair, Then How Can A Personality Contest Claim Fairness?

If A Beauty Contest Is NOT Fair, Then How Could A Personality Contest Claim Fairness?

Gu-gul-TUBE?












Identity Thief is not the only problem that exists in our modern society, did you know that 'personality thief' may be a problem for many people?

Question: When models on TV, and in magazines, tell the audience that photo-manipulation and video-manipulation, using editing software, are common ways to improve a model's image, I begin to wonder: If people (editors and producers) without asking, 'borrow' body parts from people with unusual traits, such as a beautifully shaped pair of lips, will producers of Personality Contests 'borrow' popular personalities?

 Personality Credit?

In the EXTREME CASE, I imagine personalities being borrowed like Miley Cyrus music from her video "Wrecking-Ball". I think dub'n over a 'bad personality' may be possible. 

In less extreme cases, models who purposely act like another person, associating themselves with another person's behavior, speech and actions, seem to 'borrow' other's personality credit.

Borrowing 'Personality Credit' seems a lot like borrowing racial-group credit, or gender-group credit without giving the individual credit or acknowledgement for contributions.

I had ideas for a popular Personality Contest, yet I never imagined one should steal audio recordings, or 'dub over' videos in order to share a person's 'good personality' with a group entered in a popular Personality Contest.

In many ways, borrowing without permission seems wrong.
