Pa..gea.nt? Querying database on this odd phenomenon.

I probably misspelled it, meh. MY HYPOCRISY ONLY GOES SO FAR. Cookie to anyone who gets that reference.
It annoys me to no end when the apostrophe is misused. This time I couldn't keep silent.
Perhaps if more scholarships were given in regards to academics than beauty contests then ......ah [censored] it, pigs would fly.

To be fair, we should have male "brawny" pageants. Where they are pretty much subjegated to a role of being valued simply for their looks.
We could have them doing car repairs, mowing lawns, feeding billy goats by bridges, shirtless and in courdory surf shorts.

Yes, those poor second class citizens, throw them a bone, only the beautiful can truly merit achievement.
Send them back to their caves, and underbridge hideouts!!

And only the bright ones are hideous!

Lmao I know the poll is skewed, but the results made me laugh. Practically nobody watches them, competes in them (or knows someone who does), or considers contestants as role models - and the best thing about them is the swimsuits.
I've never heard of them over here (although I'm sure there are some). Seen a documentary about child pageants, which was a bit disturbing tbh. But if you're an advlt, it's your choice.

I belong under a bridge, so I wouldn't try to compete any time soon.

I don't care a whole lot but I could care less.

The bright ones are all sparkly and undead!


U R gonna be the next in the family way after that other damned australian if you don't watch it, name nonwithstanding.

Superfreak.. Superfreak...

Aww, you watch them too?

I don't care for them. I only know about them through America and if they exist in England I've certainly never heard of them. *Shrug*

I don't watch 'em and, while I'm not expressly against them, I'm not for them. I am, however, strongly against child pageants. Talk about living out your dreams through your kids taken to a whole new level.

I don't know much about them, understandably.

I don't care to watch them. I could care less if people compete in them, But what sickens me is that there are Baby and child paegents. Those are just not right. I bet that most of those children didn't want to compete, but they were forced.

It takes some work and dedication, so I can respect that, but I personally don't care too much about them. With the little free time I have I would much rather watch sports, game, party or whatever. If it's something that you like then I don't see any problem with it, only when the parents have brainwashed their kids into it like in toddlers and tiaras.

I haven't heard of any gentlemen pageants. I declare shenanigans. Equal Rights Shenanigans I say.

We all know you were Miss England of the teen pageant.

http://incompetech.com/Images/caring.png Is it really that hard?

No offense to the OP, but...

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

No. Just... No.

Lets see...

Beautiful young women frolic about in nighties and bikinis.



...

Yeah Im definitely cool with that.

I couldn't care less about pageants. I see nothing fundamentally wrong with them and I don't agree that they objectify women (it's the woman's own choice, with the exception of child pageants, where kids are forced to compete because of some insecurity on the part of the parents).

But with regards to watching them, I can think of far more interesting and entertaining things to do with my time.

Honestly. I'd rather watch grass grow. I find pageants very boring and I find those that participate in them as pretentious and fake and would find more enjoyment in watching the contestants fall off the stage.

SHH! My agent told me not to tell anyone!

Pageants are a major reason I invest money in socks.

Do you ever watch them? No.

What is your favorite competition? As i said i don't watch them. I never has, i never will. Consequently i have absolutely no idea about what to vote.

Do you personally know anyone who competes in them? No but i don't think beauty contests is very widespread in my country... then again i could be wrong but i have always thought of it as more of an american thing.

Do you think Miss.America is a good role model I have absolutely no idea about who Miss America is or who has been in the past so i don't know. But i don't think anyone famous for their beauty rather than actual talent is a very good rolemodel.
