Seems to me this is more awkward than the original - now with the 'turn', 'turn', 'turn again' swimsuit poses. I just don't get the impression this lady is destined to be our v.p. - now or EVER.

11. Wow, a whole cabinet-full
Number 3 looked like she'd make a great Secretary of Defence; number 4 a Secretary of Foreign Affairs; number 2 for the Treasury....Why not? They are sure to be as qualified as number 8 for VP.

3. That second pose? Is that to pick the best ass? The beauty pagent needs to go the
way of the dinosaur.

4. Does it strike anyone else
how this is obviously just a chance for men to ogle the bodies of women? I mean, why else the "turn around"? And who in their right mind wears heels with a swimsuit? Just another example of stoking the fantasies of men.

9. I was thinking the same thing
What a disgusting ritual - so demeaning and sexist.

46. I'm a guy
And I confess I DID look at these ladies with an eye for what pleased me. Can't help it - that's the way I'm made. The urge has it's roots in the primal "survival of the fittest" response. We aren't that far removed from our days of hunting and gathering and as much as we TRY to legislate lust and set boundaries for our instinctual behaviors, we're just a historical blink in time away from the aforementioned era.

Can I equate "beauty contests" to looking at the steaks in the butcher's cabinet? Sure. But it's tough to deny the DNA that got us here.

47. I never really thought all that much about beauty contests
other than they were kind of lame, but when I saw footage of Sarah's contest, there was something really offensive about it, like a slave market. When I was young, no one thought anything of the whole display. It was just accepted as normal.

I have no problem with looking at women or men with appreciation for their appearance. It is the format that I find unnerving I guess.

20. I don't think that's a secret or anything :P
But really, if you want to know a real secret, it's not about an excuse for men to ogle hot chicks, it's really about the contestants looking for self-validation to counteract powerful and deep seated feelings of inadequacy.

24. With A Style That's Straight From
...the Betty Grable pin-up 1940s. This is all the vetting Gramps needed.

All they need are those little extra flaps of cloth at the strategic area, the ones called "modesty shields," to make it completely cringeable. Jee-eye-zuss.

It is to gag.

28. Why else have women dress up in skimpy outfits?
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 02:57 PM by OmelasExpat
The implied "talents" are obvious.

And having a female M.C. is meant to legitimize it. I'm not convinced that her using the word "come" at that moment was entirely coincidental.

41. I think I stopped watching beauty pageants when I was about 12 years old.
I realized then how demeaning it is to women. When watching this, it reminded me of animals being sold at auction.

44. I'm surprised they were just asked to turn around. The next request should have been
"Ladies. Please bend over." What a sexist pile of crap. Palin tries to hide the fact she was in this cattle call. Never mentions it as her "experience".

7. I have a hard time reconciling this with her very, very conservative
church upbringing. I truly wonder how this is possible given what I know about the religious movement she supports. :think:

I like to think I'm as big a pig as the next guy, but even I found this meat market on parade uncomfortable to watch. And not in a good way.

21. does anyone else find this freakin' nightmare-like disturbing?
That music! Palin strutting around showing off her butt! Ugh. I think I'll probably have a nightmare about this tonight.

And that isn't even taking into account I already think pageants are f*cked up!

But since I never watched the adult version, I never realized that even when the women are adults, it's just as creepy.

42. Very nice! OK, she looked good. I want to hear the Q&A portion.
Most beauty queens:

"My fondest wish is for world peace, and that children everywhere go to bed happy."

Sarah:

"My fondest wish is to kill off all polar bears, and someday run as vice president with a 72-year-old man who is likely to croak."

45. I think the ozone layer died with them walking on stage.
80s hair . . . it's like looking at a butterfly garden on top of someone's head.

The woman next to The Alaskan Fruit Loop Circus is packin' much back.

In case you were wondering . . . I am a pervert.
