PORTSMOUTH, Va. - According to New York Daily News, Beautifulpeople.com, recently released 5,000 of it's members due to the fact they gained weight over the holidays.

Some are saying it was a smart business move, others are saying it's just plain mean -- and will just stir up bad PR for the company.

The founder of Beautifulpeople.com, Robert Hintze, released a statement that said, "As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld. Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded."

What do you think? Smart business move? Or just plain mean? Leave your comments and we'll get them on-air.
