This kind of sounds like a joke in places, but it has a serious point. Hollywood and advertising are kind of inseparable at this point. Even something silly like "Megamind" follows these tropes - Megamind is hydrocephalic and blue, the cameraman nobody notices is short and fat (until he gets turned into a super villain). You can imagine the names a kid with a skin condition gets called growing up. If you're not conventionally pretty, you're a bad person or at least an acceptable target.
