Go here

It's airing tonight on NBC at 9pm...

Who do you think will win?


(I think they all look greedy or vain, except the one from Slovak Republic - she's the most natural, straightforward and pure-looking. Also the one from Lebanon and Croatia, maybe) :p

False advertising! Where are the extraterrestrials! Not one Gray, bug eyed monster or Huge Gelatinous Blob in the bunch. Those chicks are all Earthers! :D

I would just like everyone to note how few posts this gets, while a post about what Captain Kirk smells like has numerous replies. Interesting community here, eh?

Sorry, but I find a story about a bunch of simpering twits who flaunt their beauty in an attempt to achieve fame to be utterly pathetic. The idolization of beauty over talent or intelligence is the greatest flaw of Western civilization. I certainly won't be watching this evening, and I don't really feel like debating my viewpoint. Thus, I was going to keep quiet. However, your post deserved a response.

Venezuela, hands down... not that I'm biased or anything ;) However, Canada, Dominican Republic and Ukraine are very pretty, too :) I understand the feeling that it's all plastic and talentless, and I completely agree, but I've always watched it more as a race or sport than a beauty contest hehe






:D

There are African tribes that the whole culture revloves around beauty. Its not just a western thing, but since most people are only educated on Western society...

There is a thread about how Captain Kirk smells?

Damn!
I always miss the good ones? :(

Well, beauty pageants are nothing new or exciting or, to me, even remotely interesting.

That bizarre thread about smelling William Shatner, however... that's not something you see every day. You might as well point out that nobody is talking about the absolutely uninteresting sidewalk next to the traffic accident that everyone IS discussing.

Yes, it's interesting that the Kirk Smells thread and this thread get any replies at all, while other, more interesting threads languish. But hey, that's just me. I don't smell at all, and I've actually been to a real Miss Universe contest, a bit over a thousand parsecs from this world.

Miss Ukraine is NOT the prettiest woman ever born.

There have been three others. But the last one of those died in 568 AD, so Miss Ukraine walks away with it all. :D

Yeah, I hear the candidate from Kashyyyk is protesting the anti-alien discrimination at this year's pageant....





(you'd figure there'd be funnier pictures of female Wookiees on the web... ah well)

I suppose the fact that it's a Miss Universe contest, drawing contestants from all around the world, would also be strong evidence that it's not just a Western thing. I would like to amend my complaint from Western civlization to the whole of human civilization.
