Hit the history link above, then "view original", to see the article. Don't want to spoil it for those who wanted to watch tonight.

Or you can just read the comments :-)

Of course this means the next Miss World will be held in a Muslim country.

I have to wonder if they are purposefully picking Muslim countries to generate controversy and thus interest in the contest. As I say, I'd never even given this contest a thought before - I wonder how many people paid attention just due to the troubles in Nigeria.

Oh boy, this means next year's competition will be in Turkey. Maybe we'll get to go through this all over again!

[MadIvan]

Visiting the Miss World site for research purposes I presume? ~arching an eyebrow~ *LOL*

Of course, darling. You know that you are my Miss World, Galaxy, Universe and Infinity. ;)

Love, Ivan

I was raised in the Netherlands ...

And congratulations to knighthawk.

... the Arkansas piccolo.

That deserves immortality.

[MadIvan]

I think it said Miss Colombia came second. Imagine what fun it would have been to have the contest evading FARC guerillas and drug smugglers. ;)

Say, if Mohammad doesn't want any of them, I do.
Give the blond wench to MEEEEEEe!

Hahahaha! Good save ;-)

Is it any surprise that a Muslim Miss is Miss World?

I knew it would be a Muslim. We have to prove that we're understanding and tolerant about their reaction to beauty contests and still give the prize to one of their own. The "winner" looks very happy --I don't think she cares why she won.

[MadIvan]

Hahahaha! Good save ;-)

The truth is always the best saviour, darling. ;)

Love, Ivan

...raised in the Netherlands by my parents who are both of Turkish Decent..."

Well, they are probably decent since they opted to get out of Turkeyland..as to your descent - well, that's more problematical.

[MadIvan]

The "winner" looks very happy --I don't think she cares why she won.

Read her profile. It'd be remarkable if she had the intelligence to know how to tie her shoelaces.

I'm just thankful that cheap, tacky Miss North Carolina/Miss United States (or whatever they call her now) didn't even place. She made a complete fool out of herself over her "title" here....I'm glad she didn't even place!

[End The Hypocrisy]

>>>How did Miss USA do?<<<

That's a loaded question, isn't it? I wanna know how Rebekkah Revels, who wasn't even Ms. North Carolina (due to the nude photos) ended up being Ms. USA for the Ms. World event?

[Howlin]

Perhaps that will be the LAST we hear of Rebekah Revels. Except, of course, for her lawsuits. She's brought enough embarassment to North Carolina.

[Lokibob]

See, now I'm going to go over to my neighbors house and bet a 6 pack with him over who wins tonite.

Thank goodness he doesn't visit FR.

[Howlin]

A very good question. Perhaps her attorney, the shoplifter, worked out a deal for her.

[Howlin]

I'm telling myself English is her second language. She sure didn't score points for grammar or punctuation.

[dwilli]

If she'd like to bring a little more shame on the state. she can come live at my house for a while

[LO_IQ]

I like Miss Colombia.
