Brutal Honesty Service

Don't you think it's a fact of life that most people don't care or are too afraid to give their honest opinion on how others really look like? I often see it, for instance, in couples who go shopping for new clothes. When she'll ask him if her bum looks big, the boyfriend won't own up to that fact if he wants to keep his balls intact. Brutal honesty is a rare service many people would appreciate. I thought of creating an online service to deliver brutal honesty on any issue that deals with looks and appearance.

I reckon there could be brutal honesty services for lots of areas, for example people who overdo it with cosmetic surgery. Someone needs to tell them they look like ridiculous Madame Tussauds rather than the 20 year olds they think.

Business crime lessons

Do you think it's a good idea to require all white-collar criminals (see Madoff and Jeff Skilling of Enron) to give, as part of their jail sentence lectures at business schools on corporate ethics? I assume that even if these guys haven't regretted their actions by then, seeing how a former high-paid executive who conducted fraud ended his career and how he justifies his actions years later can be a powerful lesson to students of business. Just out of curiosity, why are all white-collar corporate criminals men? Is it because the field is male dominated or is the nature of women to be honest when they run a company?
