Genius, I too have never quite gotten this whole beauty pageant thing. Then again I am neither a beautiful young women nor white trash so I suppose it is just not my scene.

Would a simple no satisfy you ?

Does this mean all of the pictures I have of me mooning could come back to haunt me if I want to become Mr. Alberta? Oh no! But I had my lumberjack routine practiced and everything!

I agree, who exactly is the idiot blackmailing her? Lame.

I've never really gotten beauty pagents either. Two of my best friends were in the ones at my high school. One of them did a fucking brilliant peice from Medea I think it was. Had most of the teachers (the ones that understood it) in tears. But did she win talent for actually being talented? No, the girl that one got it for having an eating disorder and a bad singing voice.

As for this girl, who the fuck cares? Seems to me that there are people just wanting to distroy her for having a semi-naughty good time, like most girl her age do anyways.

I'm not certain about other pageants, but it can be a big deal for a young woman in college who could get some kickass scholarships if she wins a bit. Plus, you know, it's 15 minutes, right?

I went to college with the current Miss SD - and the last one, come to think of it. Great ladies, neither of them are close at all to the image that folks seem to have.

Presidental elections are going to be fun in about 30 years.

Hey, at least I'm going in the right direction. That's gotta be something.

Eh, I don't buy into the beauty pageant look (hence my membership here). No offense to anyone but it seems like every winner is blond, had a ditsy look about her, and has big boobs (or a larger than average chest size). I also don't see what the big deal is with these pictures. She is Ms. NJ for God's sake, it is not like she is trying to be the Pope or the next Mother Teresa. I guess she is supposed to be a role model for young girls so they don't want her doing that. However, the whole point of going to college is to branch out of your normal shell and grow up. You can't go through college without partying a little. Believe me, I have seen people go through high school and college without partying and they turn out to be stuck up, Bible thumping, holier than though assholes.

Let the beauty pageant contestants have their fun. After all, they are people too and I think they should be allowed to live their lives.

In related news, on her birthday at olive garden all the waiters put a silly hat on her and sang happy birthday over a sparkler and brownie ice cream.. yes... the sparkler was indoors.

if there were nudie pics of her then maybe... MAYBE... this would be newsworthy.

although in it's own ironic fashion, it's so un-newsworthy that it becomes humorously interesting. i guess.

This is the lamest controversy ever.
