Miss California is Right to Scream About Beauty Contest Hypocrisy

| | Comments (1) |

Miss California nee Carrie Prejean is right to scream foul at the scalp hunters who want hers after the pictures of her clad in revealing pink drawers with her back turned to the camera in a suggestive pose ripped around websites. The real issue is still that Prejean opened her yap and told beauty contest judge Perez Hilton what she honestly thought about gays and her rock solid devotion to her Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Since then Prejean has been the target of a protracted, noisy, and vicious campaign to tar and smear her.

Prejean answered a question that probably shouldn't have been asked. She answered it honestly, and she answered it after she pranced round nearly nude in a contest that is the ultimate in hype, hypocrisy, and female commodization. So whether she pranced around for racy photo shoots in her pink undies is irrelevant. A beauty contest is to crown a beauty queen not a moral, values, religious or atheist queen.

Prejean should scream, and scream loudly, that she's being slapped in the face with the proverbial double standard that holds that a woman who flaunts her body is somehow less moral, virtuous and fit to win a beauty contest. Or as she put it that openly mocks her Christian faith. If that's hypocrisy, it's hypocrisy she didn't make. May she keep and wear her crown well.

I found that her affirmation of dependence on the god/Human hybrid abomination (aka Christ) instantly made her become ugly to me. Personally, I like a woman who is not so classically pretty that she never develops her brain. Listening to her butcher, in seemingly righteous indignation, what the first amendment means was most entertaining because not once did I see the government try to infringe upon her free speech rights. As a matter of fact, I saw no government involved in anything that happened to her in any way. She is the epitome of the dumb blond stereotype.
