PENTHOUSE IS NO BETTER THAN MISS AMERICA

I was never a fan of Miss America. I always thought it was stupid. I never watched the show because all of the women looked and sounded like "Stepford Wives". Miss America (like all beauty contest) is just a T & A show after all with a talent contest thrown in for good measure. If you think about it what does "Miss America" winners do anyway? The only thing I see her do is interviews on talk shows and have ribbon cutting ceremonies to open up car dealerships and shopping malls. Whatever happens to former Miss Americas anyways? Please the only past Miss America I can think of is "Vanessa Williams".

Speaking of which the pageant itself should stood up for the Miss America winner of 1984. When nude photos of Miss Williams appeared in Penthouse in July 1984 the pageant made Vanessa resign. If you think about it The only thing different between the two is one you wear a bathing suit and the other you wear your birthday suit.

They both sexually exploit women, on different levels. The"Miss America Pageant" is as responsible for exploiting women as Hugh Hefner. In fact Miss America has been doing this years before Hugh Hefner.

IF "MISS AMERICA" is so pro-woman then how come when Vanessa needed them to they ran for the hills and pointed there fingers at her and said "SHAME SHAME". How sad if there was ever a time for that organization to stand up and defend women that was the time. What is sad is that Vanessa Williams became a victim of both "Penthouse" and "Miss America". How fitting that both of these organizations are near financial ruins. Women everywhere should be rejoicing that both "Miss America" & "Penthouse" are going down. Its 2007 Miss America is should no longer be relevant anyway.
