Radio Free Europe makes it easy to see the videos at their website; I'm just saying. I'm not always able to watch youtube videos or flash-plug videos. This should be accessible to everyone.
Miss South Africa finished second. There are photos on the web of this event as well.

I watched the video, what exactly is creepy to you? I thought it was terrific.

It’s probably a welcome prize, as I’ve noticed that all their wheelchairs have bent axles.

"..Was taking a nap under my desk!.."I'll assume this desk was modified for such purposes.

It’s probably a welcome prize, as I’ve noticed that all their wheelchairs have bent axles.Some are, some aren't. It is a design feature that adds stability and ease of maneuvering to the wheel chair by canting the tops of the wheels inward.

I know that. It was supposed to be a joke. Guess it’s not funny if no one gets it.
