#5 So this beauty pageant becomes a whole lot less about beauty. Oh the irony.

#6 "Who doesn’t want to be empowered, learn leadership skills and pay for college and be able to show the world who you are as a person from the inside of your soul."

Good luck selling that on TV. Especially if beach volleyball is on.

On the plus size, er.. plus side, since they will eventually have to include trans-persons and even men because SEXISM!!!, I am one day closer to my lifelong dream of becoming Miss America. I just hope they let me wear my Doc Martens in the evening gown competition because those high heels are murder on the feet.

This. And if you think they won't insist on reinstating bathing suits and evening gowns when the time comes...

#17 Anomalous,if Triggly Puff is going to compete, I for one, am glad they are dropping the swimsuit competition.

#18 I'm not. I can deal with it, but can you imagine all those SJW heads exploding when torn between defending Trigglypuff or Fat-shaming her?

Can't be worse than article picture Gorb posted.

P.S.
Gorb, you're a dick.
