1. Wow! They picked a blonde with large boobs this year

:boring:

[blondeatlast]

10. But this one has perfect teeth--that's a first! nt

[kath]

41. Large FAKE boobs.

Waayyyyy obvious...

Hard to believe that in this day and age we're still having these T&A sexist anachronistic atrocities :puke: :puke: :puke:

"there she is, ain't she sweet, makin' money showin' off her meat"--- or however it goes...

excuse me while I :puke: again.

[dem629]

47. They're real on the outside.

[Sequoia]

49. Bad job too.

Should've got a more uplifting top instead of droopy cloth.

[MajorChode]

70. They have always had fake eyelashes, fake nails, and fake smiles, why not fake boobs?

[Blue_Tires]

46. somehow, they always pick one of those for playmate of the year, too

it's just a coincidence; i'm sure....

[dem629]

48. Not really. Sara Jean Underwood was one of the best recent ones, and all natural.

[Blue_Tires]

50. after looking at the images, i don't see a difference

she's a busty blonde like the rest of them...

[Deja Q]

2. Looked through all the pics...

Why is squirrelhair-wig Donald Trump in the contest and why isn't he dressed in a skimpy two-piece swimsuit?

[BeachBaby]

3. Every time I start to believe that sexism is on the way out in the US.....

I am reminded of these "pageants".

I guess that some things will never change.

[TZ]

5. But but

they all have talent! Its a scholarship competition! :sarcasm:
I'm telling you, the only thing that interests me about these things are what pathetic talents they come up with....

[jmm]

7. The only thing that interests me is

watching the train wreck answers to the questions.

[Lyric]

11. Actually, the Miss USA pageant is even worse than Miss America.

The contestants don't do a talent competition at all. It's truly nothing but a meat exhibition--evening gown, swimsuit, and "interview" in which contestants do their best to appear as cutesy, vapid, and brainless as possible.

[KamaAina]

37. In that case, Miss California should have won by a mile

contestants do their best to appear as cutesy, vapid, and brainless as possible.

...Miss California's answer to judge (and gossip provocateur) Perez Hilton's question about legalizing gay marriage started out rather politic but soon veered into tangible conviction: "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

Hilton responded via his own video blog right after the show, saying "she gave the worst answer in pageant history." He says that anyone with half a brain should have answered that each state should decide for themselves. A Miss USA shouldn't alienate anyone, he says, she should inspire and unite. Hilton did later apologize for calling a "dumb b----," and said he's like to take her out for a cup of coffee.

:eyes:

[Shell Beau]

15. The Miss USA pageant has no talent and gives no scholarships. That is Miss America.

Miss USA is basically just looks.

[eauclaireliberal]

22. The high-heels thing says a lot too

I was reading some report that most women wear high heels while they are ovulating. Not quite subconsciously, but it has been noted by various psychophysiologists that this is the case.

Think that pageant officials know something we don't?

[graywarrior]

4. They all look alike to me.

[Deja Q]

6. Big bleached silicone adverts?

:hide:

[graywarrior]

8. and with the same toothy smile.

[underpants]

13. YEah

Like I don't see women like that every day down at the Pic-n-Save

[graywarrior]

25. LOL

I just found your post.

[HopeHoops]

14. That was my thought. I couldn't pick her out of a line-up of those girls.

[Schema Thing]

9. Sports Illustrated represents American beauty far better than Mrs USA

contest.

[Blue_Tires]

74. because like half of the women in it are foreign...

this year's issue was kinda strange...a distinct 'jailbait-y' theme with some ages of the models...or maybe i'm just getting older and farther out of pop cultures' "target demographic"

[Lex]

12. And yet none of them could sing as well as . . . well, you know.

[southpaw]

16. She's lovely

and that's what's important, right!



Pageants... more proof that America is still as sexist and appearance-obsessed as we ever were.

[Inchworm]

17. North Carolina R00ls!

:)

[azmouse]

18. That's one hell of a lot of silicone on stage.

Every last one of them looks fake.

[eauclaireliberal]

19. Hips not wide enough. One of my preferences on a woman

are nice-sized shapely "birthing" hips.

[Genevieve]

35. my husband just said the same thing -boy hips.

[ccharles000]

20. whoo-hoo NC wins something

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. I was going to say she looks surprisingly fake, then I realized it's Miss USA, not Miss America

[flvegan]

23. I wouldn't kick her out of bed.

Though tbh, I probably wouldn't have tried to get her there in the first place.

[TZ]

24. *cough*

If it has breasts and a skirt...I doubt you would kick her out of bed...:hide:

[LynneSin]

52. So what you're saying is Flvegan wouldn't kick this gal out of his bed....

[RagAss]

26. Insert silicone and starve yourself....

The saga of our lifetime.

[MilesColtrane]

27. What is her stance on the Iraq?

[redqueen]

28. They all have similar stances.

Legs spread slightly, so their thighs won't touch.

[lost-in-nj]

30. she has a wide stance

on the I racks.....
so she can reach them all

though not to many make up colors start with I


lost

[InternalDialogue]

33. "And such as."

[XemaSab]

36. Some people don't have maps!

:cry:

[Sultana]

29. She'll embarrass us at Miss Universe

:eyes:

[Arugula Latte]

31. Miss Universe is fixed -- Someone from Earth wins every time.

[Sultana]

32. For realz, get out of here :O

No wonder Mars never wins :cry:

[Sequoia]

53. Ha, that reminds me.

On an episode of Lost in Space there was a beauty contest, Miss Solar System, Universe, whatever and the older teen daughter was in it but didn't win because the judges didn't like her offensive pink skin and thought she was ugly, especially the blue eyes and blonde hair.

[edbermac]

34. She can't be Miss USA!! I want to see her birth certificate!

The REAL one, not a copy! She's not the legal Miss USA since she was born in Africa! Just like Obama! :silly:

[mnhtnbb]

38. She is a registered Republican--I just checked the voter registrations in her county.

[Jamastiene]

39. Gah

:puke:

I've seen prettier (AND SMARTER) women in NC. Trust me. There are better here. As a matter of fact, there are better all over the country. I hate it when I look at a picture and all I can see it a collective IQ of less than 90 with THAT MANY people in the picture.

Examples:

[MrSlayer]

40. Nice.

[Drunken Irishman]

42. I'm actually liking Miss Utah.

I think she might be the first non-blonde representing our state in years. What's more, she's not even American! COMMIE!

[mainegreen]

45. She's very attractive.

stunning, but you know, could still pass off as a normal human being.

:droooool:

[redqueen]

51. THIS IS SEXIST

ALERTING

[LynneSin]

54. Underpants started this thread - it's expected

:eyes:

[redqueen]

57. I wouldn't care if MY thread wasn't locked for being "sexist".

[MrCoffee]

56. +1

[jobycom]

58. So's America. What better tribute to it, eh?

:shrug:

[redqueen]

59. Yeah.

Silly me.

[jobycom]

60. Gotta admit

All the "I'd hit that, I wouldn't hit that, bony knees, look at the fillie's teeth, what's wrong with women's bodies" crap pisses me off. I'd expect DU to be the place to get away from that.

[redqueen]

61. You do know why I'm pissed right?

This is ok, but my 'hot guys' thread got locked cause it's sexist.

And this post will probably get deleted too.... just like my promise upthread to do my level best to fuck up every thread I see posted here for the primary purpose of showing pics of hot chicks.

[jobycom]

62. Didn't notice the hot guys thread.

I thought maybe there was finally a much-needed push to actually end sexism on DU.

[redqueen]

63. No... and god forbid I push to make it at least FAIR.

Can't have that. Fuck no.

Exploitation iz for WIMMINZ! Not MENZ!

[TZ]

65. kind of like how showing naked women in a movie will only earn an R rating

But male genitalia...NC17 (well with a few quick exceptions)

[redqueen]

67. Yep.

I've done this for years, btw.

When there are a few threads showing off women's bodies... I post one showing off men's.

Apparently now that's no longer acceptable.

[TZ]

71. Actually...they unlocked your thread Redqueen.

Looks like you got your point accross...:yourock:

[redqueen]

72. Heh, yup.

I noticed... that was fast!

Kinda disappointed though... I wanted to RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE some more. :P

[MrCoffee]

64. .

self-delete

[TZ]

68. Men looking at pictures of pretty women isn't sexism..IMHO

Its what guys do--and if you don't like it..don't click on those threads :shrug:. Its the double standard here that redqueen has pointed out that its NOT okay for women to look at pictures of hot guys. I do it and I enjoy it. Doesn't make me a female pig does it? Where is the equal treatment?

[jobycom]

73. It's more the way the conversation has been going.

I look, everyone looks. I don't even mind ribald commentary. Complete objectification with insulting (or even complimentary) physical analysis of each body part starts to bother me, though.

As for equal treatment, I didn't see the hot guys thread, but sure, if men are allowed to be pigs, no reason women shouldn't be. What was the excuse for the lock?

[backtoblue]

69. agreed

The sad thing is that alot of these women are actually intelligent, but they cannot show it because it would ruin their chances of winning. Pageants are the opposite of feminism.

[no name no slogan]

55. Would NOT hit, sharp knees, way below standards, etc.

[Mad_Dem_X]

66. They picked a Barbie doll. How quaint.

Pardon me if I'm not impressed. :eyes:
