RIP Beauty.

It’s over, kaput, finished, dead.

Today’s announcement that Miss America will no longer be based on actual beauty is the final radical feminist nail in the coffin of the once much beloved practice of admiring a woman for how she looks.

Instead, we are now apparently going to tune in to appreciate the contestants’ INNER beauty – their intelligence, their philosophy on life and their thoughts on charitable work.

Gretchen Carlson drove the final nail killing the Miss American contest. The funny thing is women are the ones who watch these pageants. I was in LV when they had Miss Universe and the wife and daughters got tickets. The arena was filled with Filipino women rooting for Miss Phillipines. I instead enjoyed the opportunity to play some poker.

I was eating at RAO's at Ceasars Palace during one of these and they all marched past our table to the banquet room. What was striking in person is the LONG legs.

I have a Modest Proposal. Why not have the “Miss America” Pageant at the Mensa National Convention? Each state’s attendees could choose a “Ms Mensa” from their state to compete.

Translation, only ugly Marxist feminazi harpies will win Miss America in the future. Rush Limbaugh was 100% right: “Feminism exists to give unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

When I was a young man really enjoyed these pageants. But must confess, I wasn’t too focused on how they wanted to work for world peace and all of the humanitarian work they wanted to do.

Just as long as somebody kills them off. They have always been so boring.
Which was okay when only people who attended the event in person had to be bored. After they started broadcasting the things then it interrupted the entertainment of innocent bystanders.

The whole things are just big marketing tools for the fashion and cosmetics industries.

Good riddance.

A reading of 1920s USSR makes this very familiar. This kind of “turn society on it’s head” revolutionary crap was their specialty.

Beauty contests that focus on their thoughts and works, and discourages any observation of their beauty.
Just more of the bizarre crap.

Since looks aren't going to count, why put it on television and just let them text their opinion in?

This one time beauty pageant has devolved into a politically correct joke. The market place will be the ultimate censor. As the ratings drop and advertisers flee, it backers will lose money and it will end.

Women are women. Regardless of the supposed criteria, they will turn it into a cut-throat, women’s version of little boys’ pi$$ing contest. At least it had some redeeming qualities when you got to admire beautiful women when it was on.

Feminazis, being a subset of the radical commie left, poison everything they touch. Who will watch it now? Probably only Feminazis. Ask me if I would bother to advertise with that target market. Trust me, it will collapse of its on weight within five years.

A caller to Laura’s show this AM suggested that the event just move to radio.

Since beauty doesn't count anymore, why are they restricting the contest to just women? Men have opinions about world peace, too.

If appearance isn't being considered, all contestants should be required to wear the exact same outfit or outfits, if they appear in more than one. Otherwise, those who have the ability to dress themselves in something more revealing, or more appropriate for their coloration, make-up application abilities, etc, will have an advantage.

And, as a matter of fact, the contestants must all not be allowed to wear make-up of any kind. That's something that is for appearance only, correct? It's gotta go then!
