[life, interrupted]

Today, I wasted my time by watching best year ever. One of the most memorable quotes? The Miss South Carolina.



While it may have been hilarious, and we even watched it in English class, this fine answer reflects somethings wrong with the whole Miss USA pageant.

The people in the pageant aren't too concerned with the world anyway. Okay, I'm being cynical, again, but a majority appear to be self centered. It's not their fault; the entire competition concentrates on beauty. No one really watches it for the contestants answers to questions.

Although, the questions themselves are stupid. Of course the stereotypical question, what do you wish would happen to the world?

WORLD PEACE! or NO MORE POVERTY!

Please. The question should really be "what unrealistic hope to you have for the world." But no, they try and make it positive because Miss USA goes to schools and lets girls try on their crown. This focuses on the wrong thing entirely. The young women make themselves all pretty and show kids how pretty they are. They don't do much else when they are at a school. They aren't focusing on educational reforms or anything else that really matters. Just how shiny the crown is.

I'm not saying that Miss USA is not a good accomplishment. I just think it's completely overrated. Not just politicians should emphasize and change the problems in the world.
