Turned on the TV tonight and what did I see, but a nationally broadcast beauty pageant. Judging categories include fancy clothes (evening gowns/special collections), minimal clothes (swimsuits) and a single question answered. The commentary during the first five minutes was so awful i couldn't leave it on to give it a chance. I really couldn't! I know these people have to be more than just pretty beings and I want to know those aspects and stories (I did manage to hear that one woman is applying to med school. WOOT!). I just can't handle the whole dumbed-down, demeaning approach taken for this whole event or that it even still exists. Congratulations, ladies, someone thinks you're pretty. What else do you have going for you and what else are you going to do with your lives? Do you have to use your beauty to get people to listen? Will they even listen?
Thankfully I have plenty of reading, writing, housekeeping, and sleeping to do. I would be really bummed if all I had tonight to pass the time were that awful television program.
