Miss USA Pageant: Not
For Families Anymore
This Sunday, May 16th
at 7:00 p.m. ET, NBC will broadcast the 58th
annual Miss USA pageant…but the 2010 event will not be like
previous ones.
Unlike the wholesome beauty
pageants of the past, this year’s Miss USA contestants have
posed for photographs in an openly sexual manner. Posed
seductively on a bed, the contestants display tousled hair,
smudged black eyeliner, low-cut panties, sexy lingerie, and
lots of cleavage and bare skin. Many disappointed fans of
the pageant have protested the new look, saying that the end
result looks less like a traditional beauty contest and more
like a Victoria's Secret ad.
But contest impresario Donald
Trump is delighted by the contest’s turn from a beauty
pageant into a soft-porn photo shoot. Indeed, Trump
revels in the change, and promises that the broadcast will
contain even more sexually provocative material. “They go as
far as you can on network television – which is pretty far!”
Trump boasted.
Parents are hereby cautioned:
do not tune into Miss USA on Sunday night expecting a
family-friendly show -- the contest organizers have made
certain that their sexualized new pageant is not for
children.
