1. I truly have no idea how women think themselves objectified? Puzzling indeed. Maybe the media

would want to ask the owners of this totally not objectifying women beauty thingy about that.

I also have idea what these women entering these contests are thinking, especially the ones that say hear me roar while mewing like kittens.

2. I thought the ventriloquist was superb!

I couldn't get into the red-cup routine...

4. Reading my news websites this morning

I learned 2 things.

1. The Miss America Pageant was last night
2. There's still a Miss America Pageant

I look forward to the day when one of the contestants does this for her talent.

9. Me too

Saw it this morning on google news and thought, " Oh yeah THAT". Miss America was a big deal until we got more than 4 TV stations.

8. She was just repeating the other pattern. It doesn't actually fit the song.

I mean, the beat is completely different from the Happy song, but it was completely over-powered by the background music.

Basically, I would have considered that just as the voice. The cup and beat did not play in to it.

It is still hard though.

10. She obviously scored high in *other* areas. nt
