Perfection in the Eye of the Beholder

An idea came to me while I was watching flawless body image people on TV tonite. And maybe sometimes movie, whether it is mainstream or indies.
Why does everybody have to look so perfect, so flawless (Ugly Betty excluded) on TV & movies all the time? Why can't there be people with disabilites on TV or movies, whetherr it is mainstream or indies?
I don't just mean public access-I mean on TV & movies like mainstream & indies. There are shows about women, kids of all ages, minorities, people of different sexual orientation, religious preferences (maybe) BUT NONE ARE ABOUT PEOPLE W/ DISABITIES unless they got injured on the TV show or movie.
Sure there are a few movies about people w/ disabilites but what about using real people with disabilties as actors/actresses?
Never mind acting, people w/ disabilties could do more than just acting. They could get into other creative endeavors such as dancing, being artistic, being poetic, and other things
YOU JUST GOTTA EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS!!

POWER to the PEOPLE!!
