Miss World

Yes, beauty pageants are stupid. But can I just say that, for the Miss World one that was just held, Miss Canada (who came in second) is considerably more attractive than Miss Ireland, who won. That being said, all of the contests are of course beautiful, with the sad exception of the ones who are too skinny.

I mean really, since when are exposed ribs sexy?

PS Also, Miss Ireland is the daughter of Chris De Burgh. That's just not acceptable.

PPS interesting to note that most of the contestent profile mention the degrees the contestants have/are working on. Laudable.

PPPS (last one, I promise) I don't hold it against Miss Italy that there's a ton of spelling mistakes in her entry - after all, anyone who admits they like to read Schopenhauer is alright in my book. But when they're spelled "Socrates, Plateau and Schoupenhauer", really you'd think someone would notice.
