Miss Teen USA contestant resigns after porn video surfaces

In yet another Miss Universe scandal, Miss Delaware Teen USA Melissa King has given up her tiara after a porn video purporting to feature the pageant winner surfaced.

According to the newspaper website, Delawareonline.com, King denies she appeared in the video, despite the visual similarities between her and the woman in the video:

A porn website posted a sex video Monday featuring a woman who looks and sounds like King and claiming it is the teen pageant winner. King, contacted Monday, said she was aware of it, but denied it was her.

“Absolutely not,” she said. “It is not.”

Pageant spokesperson Dara Busch confirmed in an email to the newspaper that King had given up her title.

Cord Jefferson of Gawker.com describes the apparent link to Miss Teen USA in the video:

In the clip, a woman who resembles King says that she turned 18 three months ago—”In March”—before telling an off-camera interviewer that she decided to go into porn because she needed the money. The woman then says she participates in beauty pageants, though she doesn’t reveal in which state she competes.

No word on what Dave, who is described on her bio page as her “infamous ‘guy’ friend,” thinks about this.

Each year there's *something* dumb/tawdry/sensationalist to get Trump's pageant into the news cycle...When do people start noticing the pattern?

1. When do people start noticing the pattern?

I think the pattern exists because its clear people like the "something dumb/tawdry/sensationalist" each year. I think Trump just sells what people want. Sex sells, but trawdry sensational sex with a hint of "rocked by scandal" sells better than attractive women in swimsuits. People eat this up.

2. Doesn't everyone have a porn video now?

Somewhere, someplace .....

It is really hard to be shocked anymore.

I think I still look good, considering.
