They Don't Sell Pretty at the Wal-Mart?

Yes, describing a happy, nice-looking person who lives in a poor part of town with the phrase 'she clearly doesn't belong here' is insulting. There are good looking people in lower-income families. *SHOCK* some of them even laugh from time to time.

If this is a newsflash you should really get out more. There's, like, trees and sunlight and stuff out there. You could enjoy it.

Even if you're not middle class.

Neither Seen Nor Heard

A screenwriter who mentions the camera is like a magician who mentions the strings.

/the more you know

Title by Claude Rains

True: In my job, I can't know the author of a script. If I know them it might bias my coverage.

True: Your script does not need a cover page for our purposes.

BUT... You should not put this together to equal a cover page that is blank.

Unless you're writing "Snow White in a Snowstorm." And even then you better hope I like puns.
