Beauty Pageants have been going on for decades... women slink around in swimsuits and evening gowns, while men ogle them, and then a few winners get college scholarships.
Teaching the whole country once again that it's only looks that count.
Of course there are other kind of pageants. Body building competitions are not quite the same... you've got muscle-bound guys walking around in swimsuits, but they're so...musclebound...that it's difficult to find them attractive...
Anyway, Today aka MSNBC has a whole page of Beauty Pageants (in their "fashion and beauty" section). There's the Miss San Antonio who was told to "lay off the tacos" because she'd been gaining weight - though she denies it. There's the 1992 Miss USA, now 38, who was arrested for shoplifting beauty products recently - and of course they had to show a pic of her being crowned in 1992, and an inset of her mugshot.

This stuff isn't news. If she hadn't been a Miss USA it wouldn't have rated a line in the newspapers.
