Classy insults typically are made by classy people. That's why they are classy. Just holding someone's features up for ridicule is neither a classy insult or the sort of thing classy people do. Criticising a "1.4 billion dollar fraudster" should be easily done without needing to resort to personal attacks. --- End quote --- It appears her unusual eyes are just on the cover photo in Forbes magazine. Seeing additional live video of her, her eyes look fine. They must have photoshopped that image as if it were a cover on a latest fashion magazine, but, took it way too far. I should have realized that the image was manipulated. This stupid image editing on photos has got to stop, but, unfortunately most likely wont. |

While she does have an extremely misguided faith in her "invention" I don't know that her subsequent activities have ever reached the point where you would call them fraud. Her enthusiasm at painting pictures of where her technology will go is just the same as any startup really. If she was showing investors a phone that was supposedly charging wirelessly while actually concealing a cable in her sleeve, that would be fraud and more akin to what Elizabeth was guilty of. |

Sorta like a freaky partial 50% the way to a Japanese drawn animated character with huge wide open round eyes. --- End quote --- I always found her kinda weird looking — but it could be just the choice of bad hair and her ridiculous “I’m imitating Steve Jobs” attire. |
