Didn't have time to research this (it's what I get for FReeping at work). But it's what I heard.

Anyone out there to provide more information is appreciated.

Thank you : )

[MotleyGirl70]

Check this out from my great state of WI....

The 17-year-old from Rhinelander, Wis., will spend her year traveling and promoting anti-violence and education, the official causes of Miss Teen USA.

I guess the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the competition were anti-violent and educational and contributed to world peace and the eradication of hunger in the world.

[MotleyGirl70]

Politics aside; I am happy a girl from Wisconsin (the mid-west) and a home schooler won. I'm not looking too deep into this win.

I'm glad she WON!!!!!!!!!!

"I guess the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the competition were anti-violent and educational and contributed to world peace and the eradication of hunger in the world."

And here I thought it was a chance to see hot girls in bathing suits. Shows how much I know...

[SwatTeam]

I saw part of this. The "intelligent question" in the interview part of the contest was "What would you do if you were a guy for a day?" Guess they didn't want to stress their brains too much.They were all very pretty but they all looked like they were going to be Barbie dolls when they grew up.

[MotleyGirl70]

Are you an old fart?

[Wright is right!]

"Semrow won a year of rent-free living in New York City as part of her award package."

Second place gets TWO YEARS rent-free living in NYC.

Don't we have any better pictures than that tiny one? That could be anyone of any age...

Miss Wisconsin's entry in the interview portion was her talent for reconciling the completely contradictory, apparently...

Today's challenge? Through images in the media teenage girls are lead to believe that we are not beautiful unless we wear certain clothes or have a specific body type and weight. Young women need to learn to look inside themselves for beauty instead of on the cover of a magazine.

[TheBigB]

Depends on how you define old, I guess. I'm 31.

Are you? :-)

[MotleyGirl70]

Sometimes I just think FReepers can be just such tight asses and too damn serious. Lighten up people! My G-d.

I didn't posted this so everyone could disect this into something its NOT!.

Shhheeesshhh. This is the reason I don't post any articles on FR. It just get torn apart and turned into something it shouldn't be.

[TheBigB]

Relax, hon. Most of us don't take it so seriously.

[MotleyGirl70]

NO! YOU relax honey!

[SwatTeam]

Don't get your panties in a wad. The girl who won was beautiful, intelligent and talented. There, do you feel better now? Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MotleyGirl70]

BTW only people who know me can call me "hon".

[Orual]

All the plain, dumpy teen-age girls in the US will hang on her every word while they reach for the razor to slit their wrists. Home schooling and home cooking obviously are to be recommended. More cleavage, please.

[Plutarch]

More cleavage, please.

This is a 17 year old, please wait until she is 18 to demand cleavage.

[ArrogantBustard]

only people who know me can call me "hon".

Don't visit the South, then. Every waitress over the age of 30, or so, calls everybody "hon". I, at least, find it charming.

[TheBigB]

Okay, considering how you're acting, how 'bout I just call you "b*tch"?

What the hell got your panties in a wad? I never said anything bad, and I agreed with you that we shouldn't be dissecting this into something it's not.

[MotleyGirl70]

More cleavage, please

You are one the wrong website...you may want to go check out www.cleavage.com. There you can see your fake inflated breasted women that you so desire.

[Orual]

This is a 17 year old, please wait until she is 18 to demand cleavage.

Not very much more to show than in that photo, unless she opts for implants at 18.

[MotleyGirl70]

What the hell got your panties in a wad?

What do my panties have anything to do with this? HUH?

[MotleyGirl70]

Don't visit the South, then. Every waitress over the age of 30, or so, calls everybody "hon". I, at least, find it charming.

Oh G_d, not you again. I don't mind being called hon. I don't find it "charming" in the text he used it.

Don't you have something better to do?

P.S. I have no plans on visiting the "south" any time soon, don't worry yourself about that.

[Orual]

There you can see your fake inflated breasted women that you so desire.

I see you are well-acquainted with the implant sites. The statement was satiric, ironic, commenting on how inappropriate it is for a 17-year-old to reveal all but nipples in a promotional photo, not to mention the silliness of that fatuous contest. Sorry you didn't get it. Wonder if her middle name is Britney.

[TheBigB]

Good lord.

I'll try using shorter words, if it'll help you...

Your undergarmenthingies indeed have nothing to do with this. The aforementioned statement is considered a slang phrase, as in "Hey, why are you upset?" (See also: "Hey, what's your prob?" and "Who peed in your cornflakes?")

I have yet to see any reason you seem to be coming unglued here. I watched pageant on and off, rooted for Misses TN and AL, but ultimately was happy that WI won, as I thought she was pretty. And BTW, only people who know me can call me an Old Fart, so nyaah nyahh.

[TheBigB]

"I don't find it "charming" in the text he used it."

The text was not in any way meant to be insulting or belittling. It was used (meant to be) as a term of affection for a fellow Freeper. Did you not notice that I was agreeing with you?

[MotleyGirl70]

Don't patronize me. I know damn well what you meant.

So nahnahnahaaaa!

So "How ya doing?", "How's it going", "What's going on?"

Any others in mind.

I know of bank here in Milwaukee that if they don't greet you with a "Hello" they pay you $100.

[MotleyGirl70]

Kwik kum zee dis...

[TheBigB]

Okay, I'm sorry. Whatever you thought was insulting, it wasn't meant to be, really. I promise. No patronization, no kidding.

[LouD]

Well, I guess we should be glad a fellow cheesehead won.

However, they had this show on while I was working out at the gym last night, and let's just say that my impression was that neither she nor her competitors are in any danger of being confused with a rocket scientist.

In their defense, it might have just been the incredibly stupid questions they were asked, and the apparent "lowest common denominator" targeting of the show. It was hosted by some slacker doofus who was inexplicably wearing a woolen watch cap for the entire show, which BTW took place in south Texas, where it is probably 110 degrees right now. It also featured some cacaphonous screaming by a bunch of gangsta wanna-bes which I'm guessing was supposed to be music.

[asformeandformyhouse]

Well I was glad to see Miss Kentucky in the top five. I checked the site and found that she won the swimsuit and fitness parts of the competition. But once she opened her mouth to answer the question, it was all over.

[MotleyGirl70]

Hey don't get me wrong...the questions are feeble at best. But my fellow Wisconsinite won.

[Richard Kimball]

Second place gets TWO YEARS rent-free living in NYC.

I thought second place was a year in Philadelphia

[bearsgirl90]

What part of Ky. was she from?

[asformeandformyhouse]

Winchester, I believe.

[shiva]

I guess the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the competition were anti-violent and educational and contributed to world peace and the eradication of hunger in the world.

Oh! My Gads!!!!A 17 year old doesn't care about that!!! I hope when she grows up she doesn't become picky, bitter and cynical like some older people get. Please, let's never forget when we were young.

[Orual]

Oh! My Gads!!!!A 17 year old doesn't care about that!!!

You make the point brilliantly.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Ok - you've got a Miss Teen America - that's all well and good.

But that's balanced by the fact that you still have squeaky cheese curds.

[don-o]

Shhheeesshhh. This is the reason I don't post any articles on FR. It just get torn apart and turned into something it shouldn't be.

Know exactly what you mean.

There is a bunch of Freepers who live to snipe.

Ignore their static.

Good on homeschoolers. Though, I have no use, at all, for "beauty pagents," the fact that a hsl'er wins this is just more evidence that we are everywhere!!!

In ten years or less, we will see the first homeschooled astronaut - might be my boy. Good post.
