The popularity of the Nip/Tuck TV series has spread to the web, thanks largely to fantastic online marketing efforts. This time they're promoting a Facebook application, called the Golden Ratio, that lets people evaluate how close they come to aesthetic perfection.
The Golden Ratio examines your photographs and analyzes the structure of your face with a scientifically proven method of calculating facial beauty. It then informs you if you've got that perfect balance of beauty... and then, like so many Facebook applications out there, it lets you compare yourself to your friends.
It uploads your photos and your friends photos into an online Beauty Parade which aims to uncover who has the most beautiful face on Facebook.
