Maybe the fact that their salary is greater than doctors, professors, scientists... and oh yeah the President of the United States.

I still don't see how that reflects poorly on our culture, unless we're going to start criticizing the public for going to the movies, buying a game, etc.

This sums up my view on the televised beauty pageants:


Intelligence should be a requirement, it'll help with the whole 'role model' aspect.

Unfortunately hospitals and schools aren't nearly as profitable as the entertainment industry, so they can't.

I think there's something wrong with a culture that pays celebrities/entertainers to play "make believe" more than they pay real scientists and hard workers who improve society. I think it is utterly despicable the attention those people garner and the utter fixation on superficiality and materialism. Hollywood and big media live in la-la land; the dangerous part is that they have enough money that they have political clout for their self-serving agendas.

I don't agree with child pageantry. I think its quite awful that 5 year olds are made up and wear tiny dresses to make them look like advlts. They often sing sixy songs that are far beyond their years and most times don't know what the words mean. They dance in often ridiculously advlt routines and most of the ones I've seen make them look like miniature strippers to be quite frank.

When you see a middle aged, overweight mother on the sidelines chanting them on, it just depresses me. I'm sure the kid often feels happy at being made up and having people dote on them, but there are other, more healthy ways to achieve this IMHO. I would imagine most mothers push their kids into this because they're trying to live vicariously through them.

advlt pageantry I have no issue with. If an advlt woman wants to put themselves forward for that, they're old enough and wise enough to have come to that decision maturely. If you're happy to have your body be your career, more power to you.

yeah i agree........watched parts of that toddlers and tiaras sp? show and noticed that the mothers tend to be pretty fugly.......even the ones that claimed to be former pageanteers themselves. those parents are just creepy. if anyone remembers the lecherous/pedophile pageant announcer from the movie "little miss sunshine", that is how i think of people involved in those things.

OP, may I ask if you play games either made by Bethesda Game Studios or at least published by Bethesda Softworks?

Ummm...no. I hardly have enough time to play all the games I want to play. Let alone watching beauty pageants. :unsure2:

I have better things to do than watch beauty contests.
The plural of pagent is pagents.
Poor apostrophe, sadly misused. It's for parts of speech known as contractions, and showing possesion.

and now it's games.
