The spin: Beauty is a Biiitch

In the age where everything in life is about politics, where everything we see and hear is decided by some person who has (insert pointy noun here) shoved a few feet up their ass I have recently decided that things have gone a *smidgen* too far. I came to this conclusion recently after the Miss Usa titles were handed out. Miss Nevada had her title stripped because of some photos (links to the juicier ones as :sources: at the bottom) of her 'partaking in underaged drinking' and 'inappropriate conduct' have surfaced.

In an age where even our beauty is judged on the content of our character, how can anyone be a 'judge' for anything? Especially when their character must be just as tainted at some core level to 'judge' a competition thats 99% about looks and 1% about content of character, and then relinquish said title solely based off amoral actions. Shouldn't the pageant then be filled with people hugging puppies with giant buck teeth and pimply faces; oh wait, they could never win because they don't have the depth of character that the HOT girls with the big boobs and defined curves have.

How do we as a country continue to feed into this bullshit? What in the name of god do we stand to gain by being the 'hottest' the 'smartest' or otherwise the 'best'? There are plenty of modest people who don't care to compete who outweigh your looks and character without effort, so in your attempts to be the best your filling yourself with lies and are destined to fail. Strive to be a good person, strive to love people and strive to make others happy, and if you end up less the average at the end of the day you can be happy that your not just a superficial person trying to impress a 'panel' who will never know you.

In the case of the lovely Miss Nevada there was no doubt that she was just being 'who she was' and celebrating her recent win in a way that may have been subverting U.S. laws. However which of the judges NEVER drank before 21.... thinking of my circle of friends alone I am the ONLY person who didn't drink pre-21 (never drak at all to be honest). So; how can anyone in their right mind, take away a title when they did the same thing but when someone else does it, its despicable and just plain wrong.

I ask you all to follow me in my example here, next year when you see the pageant on t.v. Change the channel. I know that I will.

Discuss.
