They don't have to be perfect
Just not repellent. We're going to have to look at them so they shouldn't hurt the eyes to do so, we get enough of looking at minging people in real life. TV and movies represent escapism. It's the same principle as not letting people who are incredibly bad at music get record deals, although that hasn't worked out too well historically

why are you watching EastEnders anyway, you massive poof?
if you don't want to see characters that appear to be real maybe you should start watching more reality tv, because those shows seem to be the most fake anyway.

You think that's poofy
I used to be addicted to Strictly Come Dancing. Not so much now cos it shot itself in the foot repeatedly. Can't help but notice that the standard is much higher on Dancing With the Stars nowadays

I don't watch any of those competition shows but I did see a highlight of Kate Gosselin's stellar performance
