The lunacy of kicking ‘beauty’ out of the Miss America pageant
2018-06-10

[NYPOST] They used to televise beauty pageants -- maybe they still do, but I'm no longer fifteen, so I don't look for them. But if you take the "beauty" out of "beauty pageant" you're left with something that looks like an all-girl staff meeting or something. I find the idea of being against pretty girls to be entirely too redolent of Puritanism, only without the sense of humor.

#6  I remember watching Womens Weightlifting Competition and wondering if the winner should be titled Ms. Alien and the runner-up Ms. Terminator...?
Still, give the pageant a few years, and a few legal challenges, and Miss America Pageant will have 30+ year old (no Ageism!) Transvestites (no sexism!) contestants...

Now they can compete with their unwashed, hairy, fat rolls.
