The owners of the Miss World pageant have announced that there will be no swimsuit round in next year's competition. In an interview with Elle, chairwoman Julia Morley explained: 'I really... don't need to see women just walking up and down in bikinis. It doesn't do anything for the woman. And it doesn't do anything for any of us.' She added: 'I don't care if someone has a bottom two inches bigger than someone else's. We are really not looking at her bottom. We are really listening to her speak.'

I do not follow this stuff unlike one of the bloggers at PowerLine. :0 Given women are the real demographic for this makes sense to cut out the swimsuit stuff. I do find the recently crowned winner from South Africa stunningly beautiful and she has smart to match. She looks like a real woman than the fake ones from places like Venezuela.

They are 100% right. The fact that they are beautiful on the inside is why they’re on that stage right?
Political correctness claims another victim.

If “natural” was a prerequisite, half of them would be out of the race.

Why should beauty be a factor in a beauty pageant says the braindead bleeding heart liberal always looking for a cause to get attention?

We are really not looking at her bottom. We are really listening to her speak Well let's just line everybody up with backlighting to put their features in shadow and talk to them.
After the judges decide who is the most beautiful on the inside, turn on the lights and see what you get - kind of like "we won't know what's in the bill until we pass it".
The two are equally stupid - and equally likely to happen in today's world.

If they want to appeal to women, they should require the contestants to wear sweats, no makeup, and have their hair up in curlers. The women viewers will love it, because they will have smug satisfaction that they are superior to the contestants.

....We are really listening to her speak.' Yes, Brains, intelligence and elocution...As evidenced by all the Nobel Laureates, Scientists, Prize Winners, etc. in the MW pool of former participants.

Luckily people mainly tune in to watch young women tap dance and answer tough geo-political questions.

WTF?! If we wanted to just watch speeches, we could turn on any of the other 57 channels carrying Obama 24/7 telling us how wonderful he thinks he is.

Hey, I say make them all contest in Burqas
To: C19fan
U suggest wearing burlap sacks and having the contest be wholly about adherence to rigid feminist ideology. That ought to make the contest really popular.
Shouldn’t transgenders be allowed to compete?
