Anyone remember The Swan ? If you don't, let me just break it down for you. People with basically deformed faces and body parts would appear on the show and get free nose jobs, teeth re-alignment, eyebrow lifts, you name it. At the beginning of the show there would be like an interview segment with some pretty horrendous looking human beings. It wasn't their faults. Some got into accidents, were involved in burn incidents, or just born with disproportionate faces and hairy bodies. They would explain their story and ask the people (surgeons) of "The Swan" for help. At the beginning, they would look in the mirror and see a hideous person looking back at them. Basically, as a way for the staff to demean whichever contestant was lucky enough to get free plastic surgery. At the end of the hour-long show, the person would look like a model after about 5-10 different surgeries. Then all the transformed ladies would compete in a pageant, which none of America would watch. It was a rather scandalous show and was taken off the air immediately because it was just plain awful. Awful - in the sense... Not morally right.

Makeover Reality Shows
Makeover reality TV shows are probably some of the most demoralizing, shameful shows on television. The producers of these shows pick the most out of this world people who wear orange sweatpants, purple sweaters, and worn-out sneakers on a daily basis. Then, they'll tell these people (mostly women) they are due for a makeover and point out every single one of their flaws. Once they have torn apart their own individual styles... they will give these women free makeovers to "boost their self esteem." In reality, the hosts and makeovers teams on these shows are simply scrutinizing the participants and making them feel like they're the ugliest pieces of **** ever.
