i would think that these findings prolly would tend to be accurate. not sure what would motivate them to be harsher towards the uglier child, exactly, but that's something Colin & his fellow psychos can figure out. psychologists, rather.
and the income would seem to be quite logical, as well. i guess it's just inherent discrimination. we've, by and large, learned to view tall and thin as attractive growing up, while short and fat is, of course, shunned. and that translates from hollywood to everyday life. and then there's the "dumb blonde" stereotype, and prolly a common belief that hot chicks can't be smart. i personally, would hire the hot chick as a secretary which, of course, would provide a lesser salary than, say, being a "regular" employee (in the sense that she doesn't answer calls and run errands all day for her superior)

it probably isn't a concious decision as you state, just something we do without thinking. i guess it is something we have to be concious about. you just have to hope you're decent looking! LOL
