I was listening to Laura Ingraham on the radio today. She was discussing this de-beautification of the beauty pageant.

One of her callers, suggested since it was no longer about looks and beauty, why didn't they just broadcast the pageant as a radio program.

I laughed out loud in the car at that comment.

Says it all in nutshell about changing a beauty pageant into a "how do you feel about such and such" pageant.

I haven't watched these things since I was a kid, but I would guess this is not only going to kill their TV audience but more than likely it will be the demise of the pageant eventually.

"...why didn't they just broadcast the pageant as a radio program...."

Good one! And true too.

I haven't watched these things since I was a kid,...

I probably watched into my 30s... which was 30+ years ago.

Wasn’t there a competition where Perez Fruitcake rejected a female competitor because he disagreed with her answer to some political question?
