Insightful comical article - "Let's Adopt Carrie Prejean"
I came across this doing a search. I know the topic has been done to death, and I know her fifteen minutes are thankfully up, but I thought this just too clever/funny not to share. The author apparently is a Canadian comc/performance artist.

http://www.xtra.ca/public/National/Lets_adopt_Carrie_Prejean-6813.aspx

"It seems a California pretty girl blew her chances to be Miss USA because she let a little homophobia slip out. Weird. Since when does blatant stupidity preclude representing one's country in a bathing suit? Huh! I guess I have been wrong my entire life, and beauty pageants really are about intelligence, integrity and talent....

Or maybe this little episode illustrates that a tipping point has been achieved. Despite Proposition 8 and the increasingly freaky Christian right, perhaps gayness has become as American as apple pie. We're the new normal, gosh darn it. And heaven help the underwear model who forgets it.

... Which brings me back to Carrie Prejean, the Miss USA wannabe. Really, the surgically enhanced Christian should be pitied and not scorned. The tide has turned in the US, leaving poor Carrie a social and political dinosaur caught in a 2009 beauty contestant's body. Perhaps we could invite her north for some anti-homophobia education. We live in a society replete with tolerance, legal protections, and women who would be happy to both discipline and retrain her."

LOL - I think the author would like to give her a deserved spanking!
