Miss Fuck You

posted by on July 10 at 8:05 AM

After Miss Nevada comes Miss Washington:
0708_miss_washington_launch_02.jpg

TMZ reports:


Miss Washington 2007 might wanna take the crown off before flipping off the camera, getting her Beer Pong on and making suggestive oral sex gang signs…

…Elyse Umemoto, who was the second runner-up in this year’s Miss America pageant, ran on a platform promoting diversity and women’s empowerment. The Evergreen State must be so proud.

Miss Washington Executive Field Director Mike Miller tells TMZ the organization is “embarrassed,” and issued this lengthy statement.


Our world has completed its fall. Nothing at all is safe, nothing is sacred.

The only time a Miss Anything gets her name in the paper is when there is a scandal.

Women are all tools. All of them.

My little brother told me that the "oral sex gang sign" signified smoking a cigar when he was 6; he learned it from a Poison video. Perhaps Ms. Umemoto is simply part of a cigar-smoking gang.

Most things that are considered sacred are (intentionally or not) divorced from their origins, and to remain sacred must keep as far away from the complicated dirty *real* world.

YouTube, Myspace, and the interwebs combined with ever cheaper and accessible forms of media recording has, and will continue to give, that which is sacred and innocent a run for its money.

Frankly in my opinion this is a good thing, because without a
constant reminder that all ideas, sacred or otherwise, have their origins in *real" world (from humans no less), you'll get lots of people invested in ideas without reference to the people that represent and /or create them.

The result? Everything that from Misguided notions as to what women need to aspire towards, to whiplash inducing debate as to whether Obama is a savior or shill.

Belief in the sacred is a consolation prize for weak thinking.

Posting embarrassing photos of yourself (or creating the opportunity for it to happen) is not the end of the age of innocence. It is just poor judgment.

Is the Miss America Pageant going to spread the Jersey Pout out to Washington next? Ugh.

Those photos are nothing- they look like a regular night of debauchery. I dont see anything incriminating or tasteless even.

Miss Nevada on the other hand... that was just asking for a spanking. A very, very, very hard spanking.

Believe me, there's plenty of room left for the world to fall. If anything, this photo reaffirms my faith in humanity.

the real story here is that Washington's got a pageant winner that's hot

As a resident of the Evergreen State, I am proud. How to represent us girl. I'd rather have someone flip me the bird than be some prissy debutante.

@8 thanks. But, based on pageant contestants I've dated, this is an appropriate choice to represent Washington, actually, so I don't see what the problem is ...

Silly Rabbit! Beer Pong is the video game that went on the market the same year as Donkey Keg Stand.

aka, Back In The Day.

Gawd, I'm sick of the smoochy face/bird pose same as the throwin' scissors and making constipation face. Mark of the douche, mark of the douche.


@7 tmz = three mile zone

Will @18 "based on pageant contestants I've dated"

FTW!

Awesome, just awesome.

"Dated" is a euphemism for "had in the trunk of my car", right?

Wait, those pageant girls aren't the chaste (yet nubile) young things I've spent so many years watching on a muted tv, while masturbating into a tube sock? NO!!!!

So if they weren't flipping and pouting they would be sacred and the pageant could go on and all would be ok.
They would still look like a couple of bad drag queens.

Fnarf, I love you.

The real news to me is that Charles somehow saw a beauty pageant as sacred, much less the apparent last bastion of sanctity whose breach is the thud at the end of our fall from grace.

these girls look like dumb hoes, and that's what's embarrasing. they crowned someone sorta slow.

shocker!

We still have beauty pageants?

hell ya..washington knows how to party! at least our beauty queens look like they could kick some ass if they need to. native girls are awesome.

No, I was being serious

...and THAT'S the tragedy.

No, seriously, Will. I can see why all the hot babes hop on your cock. They love your dynamic and effervescent sense of humor. That and your can do, results-oriented attitude on life.

Charles worships the notion of Platonic ideal; a beauty pageant fits perfectly into this belief system.

Platonic ideals are stupid.

TMZ = Thirty Mile Zone (the area of Hollywood, LA)

So it hasn't occurred to you guys that this post is sarcastic.

Posted by keshmeshi | July 10, 2008 11:23 AM

No, it hasn't kesh, and I for one would never ever be sarcastic.

(nobody asked me when I dated them ...)

Speaking of unasked questions, does the Westminster dog show even count as a beauty pageant?

The one on the right is actually kinda smokin', but Miss Washington there looks a lot like most of the waiters at this AsiaSF, only less convincing (which could still be a compliment, btw).

So if TMZ stands for Thirty Mile Zone, The Stranger would be FBZ for Four Block Zone

@29 doesn't everyone look like a "dumb ho" when they're trashed? jeez. I thought Miss Nevada's party looked fun...

Posted by nicole | July 10, 2008 1:48 PM

@ 49

not really. unless you hang out with bros a lot and go to wsu.

she reminds me of the 14 yr old myspace creepies that take billions of provocative pictures of themselves in the bathroom.

while that may be "the norm", it's still stupid.

Hey, I bet Will is handy with the ladies. He invites them back to his apartment to see his collection of in-house World Health Organization statistics.

@30 even more surprising, apparently we still have beauty.
