The "Reality Check" show criticizes the pageant's look, feel, and by proxy, participants as a way of getting people -- what? Interested in the pageant again? It's hopelessly bitter and negative...why does Miss America always start their pageant with an apology--sorry about the swimsuits everyone--and Miss USA, even after their ex gets back from rehab, says "Enjoy the show!"<br>Irritating!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735013477116708067.post-2232482409994422742008-01-12T05:43:30.000-05:002008-01-12T05:43:30.000-05:00:) I understand!!

A friend sent this to me:<br>One of the Miss America organization’s slogan is<br>“Some call her a beauty queen, we call her a scholar.”<br>After viewing the revamped Miss America show, many would call her a burlesque queen.<br>In the past, Miss America was an icon: she projected a wholesome image of traditional American values. Now, she is scantily clad and salaciously “strutting her stuff” down the runway in a degrading manner. This once classy pageant has now been turned into a demeaning reality show that culminates in a pageant worthy of Miss Hooters (no offense to Miss Hooters contestants, who probably display a more sedate runway walk than that of the Miss America contestants).<br>If you are offended by the licentious nature of the new Miss America pageant, email the pageant organization and let them know:<br>info@MissAmerica.org.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735013477116708067.post-43930104844909969632008-02-04T11:00:52.000-05:002008-02-04T11:00:52.000-05:00I talked about this comment on the Karmyn Kast.
