HDTV accentuates facial imperfections

HDTV as you all know is known for its picture clarity. But one problem that I see with it is that it accentuates even the smallest imperfection in human face. So I think it adds even more pressure to all those anchors that appear on TV.

In this world where plastic surgeries have become a very common trait even for most rich commoners, it kind of becomes imperative for these celebrities and anchors. They are now forced to do it to survive in their businesses.

This problem is even more accentuated when I play Indian channels on my TV. In Indian channel (Sun TV is what I watch), most anchors don’t pay attention to superficial traits as much as anchors here and so when they appear on HDTV, their facial imperfections become even more obvious.

I think with all US channels becoming HD by 2010, this will be a main issue for media folks. I guess it already is.

What do you think?

Media folks anyway have a lot of pressure and competition. This will surely add some more. The people that are going to enjoy from this are mainly the plastic surgeons. May be I should change career and become a Dr.90210. Who am I kidding? I enjoy writing code and updating data than tearing and moving things for someone.
