Hobbit sex symbols? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It doesn't bother me that so many people in the movie were so good looking, what bothers me is the way the media plays it up with all this "hobbit hotties" and Teen magazine crap. Could a society be more obsessed with celebrities and people's physical appearances? I don't think there is anything wrong with people finding others attractive, it's just the obsession with looks and celebrity that bothers me. I can only imagine that if 'unnatractive'(as it's all subjective) people had been cast people would never stop talking about how "ugly" they are because humans have this natural tendency to judge on looks. I don't exclude myself from this. Yes, perhaps the hobbits were attractive, but IMO it didn't take away from their portyal of hobbits.
