liz has completely misunderstood the point here. It is PRECISELY because some of these intelligent women will become world leaders and all the rest of it that it is so dangerous to let people think this stuff is not degrading or worse, empowering! No one has claimed the entrants cannot think for themselves, but surely there is such a thing as an irresponsible choice. the ejaculation slogan i'll half concede, but the campaign has been more concerned about women going to view the pageant. And if you're beautiful people listen to you? I not only think that's untrue but if it is, how incredibly sad, and does it not prove that conceptions of beauty are very narrow? Also SNEWS people, can you get a better video player?
