What does this have to do with a Darwin Award....? 
Things like this are often referred to in the context of Darwin because it's like having a front-row seat to watch natural selection in action.

Exactly, it's why those hot Swedish chicks in England survived even though they tried numerous time to kill themselves by jumping in front of oncoming traffic on a previous post. They were meant to survive because they're so damned attractive. The world needs their genes. HAHA! I know...a little off meaning.
Actually you're right though... ask yourself this: If you had to save a room full of strangers from danger, which would you save first? The ugly ones?
Even babies are capable of identifying beauty - those standards are not learned. Being drawn to the pleasing and attractive is all part of our programming to help perpetuate desirable genetic traits.

I'm certain there is a completely different explanation for Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley's marriage!
