a. Without beauty pagents, what will women who are attractive between the years of 16-25 and have an iq of 80 have to look forward to.

b. If you're fat and ugly, stay home, and stop whining that you're not hot enough to enter a lame, empty pageant that means nothing.

Last year's carnival queen Jamie Asquith, 19, said: "The contest is something I grew up with. There is so much history to it and I do not think it should be scrapped just like that."

What sort of history, dear?

"I have so many great memories as queen. I had a lovely dress and won some great prizes. I definitely think it should go ahead in the future."

Mmm hm.

Yup. Beauty contests aren't for everyone. Nor should they be.

Thats why they're contests. You don't enter the spelling bee if you're illiterate. You also don't whine about the fact that a spelling bee exists.

Isn't this like losing a Cat Show because you brought a dog?

I want the NBA to lower the hoop to 48" above the floor. We'd see more vertically challenged athletes in pro basketball.

monkeyman3875		2009-03-16 02:11:37 PM

OMG A beauty contest that doesn't let "beautiful on the inside" girls in. Who'd a thunk it.

Hey, fat chicks need love too....but they gotta pay!

instead of cancelling it they should also have a fat ugly chick contest open to anyone, no discrimination but pass the eye bleach

Clever snappy dresser or attention whore douche? (new window) Debate on the matter at BoingBoing comments. I go with attention whore douche.

tuna fingers		2009-03-16 03:53:00 PM

For the record, I don't discriminate against ugly fat chicks.

Wrong thread. Carry on.

let the fatties compete, and when their dreams are crushed, maybe they'll diet!

HighOnLifeAndGlue		2009-03-16 03:57:09 PM

Where are they finding good looking women in England?

/they must grade on a curve.

If they did, would there be a speculum competition?

This is the coastal town

2xcited		2009-03-16 03:57:48 PM

Well skinny girls are discrminated against when they pay the same health insurance costs as the fat ones. So I say make the fat chicks pay more for their health insurance and everyone wins:)

A seaside town's annual carnival beauty queen pageant has been scrapped after more than 50 years because organisers find it sexist.

The organisers sound fat.

atlas spanked		2009-03-16 03:58:47 PM

Well, to be fair, they should hold a fat ugly chick contest too. Y'know. Give 'em a chance to win something.

Unfortunately, that would probably not be well-received either, regardless of the prize money.

fatal_exception		2009-03-16 03:59:12 PM

Bosses believe the beauty queen competition is out of date and too restrictive as it is only young girls who get the chance to enter.

Bullshiat. Anyone can enter. Now, not everyone wins and in this day and age of everyone gets a trophy that's the real problem isn't it?

tuna fingers		2009-03-16 03:59:14 PM

Further research yielded last year's winner.

/and by "further research", I mean teh googs.

HighOnLifeAndGlue		2009-03-16 03:59:28 PM

Fat girl on a diet, don't try it.

Next thing you know the homos will be whining too.

Ninja Wicked		2009-03-16 04:01:37 PM

So I didn't RTFA but how does it discriminate against them? Is there a rule banning ugly fat chicks from entering? Just because you can't WIN doesn't mean you can't enter. By that argument everything that involves competition in that town should be scrapped too because the losers are discriminated against.

My girlfriend got 2nd place in a beauty pageant.
The girl that beat her was way hotter...

MyrnaMinkoff		2009-03-16 04:02:48 PM

Let the bimbos have their dress party and us fat beasties will keep the science fair.

Like every other farker who immediately clicks on a profile when we see that ZOMG THERS A GIRL IN THIS THREAD!!!111!, I have determined that you need to re-evaluate your definition of "fat beastie".

Why do people use that picture of Rosie O Donell? As I've said before, apart from bigger boobs, she has the exact same body as Christina Hendricks. (back then, not now)
