Miss America is scrapping its swimsuit competition and will no longer judge contestants based on physical appearance, the organization announced Tuesday.

Gentlemen, we’ll just have to be content watching the newsbabes on TV. They’re so pretty, and their sexiness is enhanced as they try to be serious.

BINGO! You nailed it.
The Miss America pageant meets the Fat Lady Sings. Big Don got out of the beauty pageant business just in time.

How were able to get all four of my ex-wives together like that? Did you mention something about an increase in alimony?

“Miss America is scrapping its swimsuit competition”.
The last reason I might watch is no more. Anything that says “female” is to be removed, I ‘spose.

Well, it’s still called “Miss America”. But maybe next year it’ll be “Person America”.

As a lifelong student and admirer of female anatomy, this saddens me greatly.
I'm sure soon it will be dominated by 'transgender' wymyn.

MISS AMERICA?
To: Leaning Right
Is this supposed to make me more not care about the pageant, or less not care about the pageant? The whole thing has always been boring, and when I was growing up and watched television I resented the competition for interrupting the television schedule.
I associate Beauty pageants with repeated cosmetics commercials.
I can’t be the only one.
